And section 61 of the Civil Code, which is the | F one referring to the rights of divorced | persons to remarry, and_ which w amended by the Legisiature in 1897 to pr hibit their remarriage under any circum stances until a year after the decree has been granted. Proceeding on from this reference he sa; The purpose of the section as amended rider of 1897 was to correct a great put which had become too rife—to put a st period of an appeal se ) to marriages within t rom | the decree of divorce, which might be and sometimes had b sed, with great scan- married a 1 to regulate m gal to the = is proper for the If this power to regulate did not ex | would often be indecent and shocking associa- | ions of the sexes—even incestuous and poly amous marriages could be contracted. [ | doubtedly it is immoral and against public pe | fcy that a divorced person should be permitt to contract a legal marriage pending the right of appeal and while it is vet uncertain what the final judgment will be. The rider to the section, therefore, is addressed to the effect | of the decree—something entirely within the control of the law-making power and ité effect is to regulate or establish the status of the par- ties to it during the period named. | “The status of unmarried persons is controlled | by other statutes I unmarrie | may legally marry. when the | proper age unmarried pe re in some | stances disabled from legally | riage. In some jurisdictions party to an action for divorce is, disabled from contracting a lega diction both parties to a er decree, are for the | ear therefrom disabied | | from ‘marrying any other persons than them- selves. The divorcees may marry but within the period of one year from the date of their | decree neither of them can legally marry any save the other party to the divorce proceedings To be sure, there is no penalty attached to disobedience of the law: nevertheless, the law, though it will not punish the cisobedience, will not recognize in those who disobey it (whatever their contract may be) any status other than | that which it fixes itself, which, in the instance of a divorced person marrying any other than the person mentioned in statute within the period of disability, is that of an ‘unmarried person.” Not a Legal Marriage. The contract in suit was entered into in Cali- fornia and is sought to be enforced in Calffor- nia. Confessedly if the marriage of the plain- tiff and Joseph M. Wood had taken place.in California it would have been void. 1Is the | ante-nuptial contract a valld contract merely n perpetually because the marriage was performed In an- | other jurisdiction? Section 61 Clvil Code, contains no penal | clause as stated, but it ‘does contain words of | nuility and words which suspend the operation | of the decree; that is, words of personal disa- | bility affecting the parties‘to the decree for the | full ‘period of one year, and these, in my es- | timation, cannot be avoided by merely invok- ing another jurisdiction for that purpose. The ianguage of the statute is unambiguous and but one interpretation is possible. The | 1aw of domicile is invoked and the law of domi- | cie controls. No other jurisdiction can relieve | agatnst it. The plaintiff had full knowledge of the law when she made the contract in ques- tion and, being herself the inhibited party, has nothing to complain against in view of an ad- verse décision. This view would be different, of course, if she were the innocent party, but | she entered into the contract open-eved. Be- sides counsel have shown that she is in fact provided for as a residuary legatee of the tes- tator, Joseph M. Wood, and that a homestead has been carved out of his estate and set apart | to_her as his widow. From the foregoing views it follows that at | the time the plaintiff and Joseph M. Wood en- tered into the contract in suit and at the time | they intermarried in the State of Nevada, the plaintiff_possessed no legal capacity to marry any person‘save her divorced and then living husband, Smith, and as a corollary—the facts considered—that the plaintiff's contract was against the law and cannot be enforced. It will be seen from this decision that, while working the undoing of an ante- | nuptial contract, the Judge has done no | more than refer to the traveling mar- | rlages, but in doing so he has dealt them all a facer, and the contracting parties | are put in such a position that shey may | have to call in the parson and have him tie the knot over again. There is hope in the Supreme Court, however, but there ig not much, for love is a thing unknown in its decisions and neglected in its pleading, but it may be | that Dan Cupid may appear for plaintiff and secure a cecision favorable to those | he has got in such a fix. THE RENO RECORD. California Couples Who Were Mar- ried Across the State Line. RENO, June 14.—Following are Califor- nia couples that have married in Reno during the last year.

Those two suits which we picture in this ad« vertisement are two very swell creations. The Sailor, with its long trousers, is an ideal garment, made from high-class blind__cheviot, which is the newest weave in cheviots; handsome= ly braided, with its long trouse pretty emblem on the shield, with its French c a handsomely gotten up suit; one that you w never regret paying $6 50 to $7 for. This is one of the things we invite you to for Friday and Saturday matinee. At $3.48. Sizes 3 to 10 ycars. That manly little suit which you see pictured, with the vest, is one of the suits that we have taken the town by storm with. It's a pretty little double-breasted silk _bro- caded vest in plaid, and_the coat and trousers are of that very handsome blind-weave blue cheviot; an awfully dressy affair. We could tax you $6 for this suit and give you good value at that. For chaps between the ages of 3 and 10 years. Noth ing prettier, nothing more stylish, nothing half as dressy as this.
