REWEDS;
MARITAL WOES
ARE RECALLED.
New York Widow Is New
Bride Of Former Secretary
of State in Wilson Cabinet

Washington society today will en-
joy its latest gossip, presented at
breakfast tables with news dis
patches from New York telling Of
the marriage of cambridge Colby,
former Secretary of State.
Colby was married yesterday in .
quiet wedding in Brooklyn, to Mrs.
Joseph N. Ely, wife Of New Yorker
who died seven years ago. Mrs.
Ely's maiden name was Anne Won
Ahlstrand.
DIVORCE RECALLED
Behind CoIby's newest marital ad.
venture is the devious adventure of
his first marriage and his interesting
attempts, as well as those Of his
wife, to obtain divorces.
Just before the long-gought divorce
was obtained finally in New York,
there came to light, in alimony pro.
ceedings in June, that an unusual
agreement existed between the
Colbys:
That Mrs. Colby never should hold
UP to rfdicule her distinguished and
dignified husband.
Colby charged his talented wife
violated this agreement when she
published her novel, Green For
ests." He claimed the central male
character suggested himself to many
readers. The divorce finally was
obtained.
LEGAL FIASCO
Prior to that the Colbys' attempt
to obtain a Paris divorce ended in
a legal clash that interested two
continents.
The legal fiascc involved, also, a
former President of France, Alexan-
dre Millerand, who was the former
Secretary Of States counsel. The
judges reviewed the case and de-
clared that Colby's residence in
Paris was not legal.
Until then Paris was known as
a divorce Mecca for the wealthy Of
America who went there, estab.
lished residence and awaited the
divorce. But in the Colby decision
it was held that merely renting q
place In Paris did not constitute
legal residence.
The former Mrs. Colby was Natha-
lie Sedwick, Of Massachusetts,.
