Parls, April 17 —The judges of the divorce court at Niee have decided unofficlally th their decisions need never become publie un- les® reloased by one of the parties, or when future !tigation demands o publication of the court's findings, This decision, which ap- parently goes somo distance in establishing a ‘perfect divorce center,” is cxpected to more than triple the court's work during the coming year. Americans can procure a divorce in Nice In the record time of 21 days, providing both parties have complied with the spirit of the law and have registered a declaration of in: tention as rogards their tuture domicile, The French law that no woman can remarry until 800 days after her divorce is not applied to foreigners, who are forced only to walt the 70 days during which elther party can file an appeal to the decislon. 5 ASK DAY OFF, TOO A “day off” has been demanded & Taem- bers of the French eabinet, who would like to enjoy the same privileges as the law grants to most other workers in France, Tt I8 true that the ehamber and the senate meet extremely rarely on Sundays, but a cus- tom has grown np which robs ministers o1 their rest on that day.
