In the domestic partnership existing between Gov. Leslie M. Shaw and his wife {t cannot be said that the latter merely fills the role of silent part- ner, the favorite role of most great men's wives.

The French law, which makes the elvil ceremony a necessary preliminary to the religious, combines with the fact that the parties to the unfon are of differing religious faltha to make a triple tying of the knot obligatory. This necessitates a prolongation of cer- emony in proper keeping with the importance of the contract. According to the specifications once drawn up by Mr. Depew for the wife of a public man, she should be “handsome, attractive enough to win the men not within her husband's reach and yet sufficiently domestic to be fond of her dressing gown and willing to spend her evenings at home.” — Miss Palmer fully answers these requirements, and the bridegroom's qualitins to match are too well known to necd rehearsal here.
