In the European papers there is a lively discussion over the proposed legal changes in the French marriage service. In France marriage is re- garded as a civil contract and no ceremony is binding unless it has its due legal form before a civil official. It is usual to have a religious marriage also, but the religious ceremony is not legally recognized. The form of the civil ceremony is prescribed by law, and the mutual Obligations of each party to the other are specified in detail in the French marriage code. Besides the elaborate provisions regarding property rights and the children’s rights to their inheritances, the marriage code requires that both husband and wife shall agree to give each to the other “mutual esteem, fidelity and succor.” » There is nothing in the French marriage code about love. Neither party is required to love the other. The theory is that love should come not before but after marriage, that marriage should be arranged for fam- ily, social and business reasons, unswayed by sentiment or affection. Such matters are not competent for a young unmarried girl to decide, and her parents can do it much better for her. After all matters of convenience have been satisfactorily arranged there can be a future development of love or affection, or not, as it may happen, without any disappointment or misapprehension on either side. The Parliamentary comrnittee which is revising the French marriage code is now listening to weighty arguments whether in the interest of morality or larger families the word “love” should not be put into the French marriage code slong with “esteem, fidelity and succor,” and recog- nized by law. No report has yet been made and the committee are divided in opinion on the subject. The opponents of love by law favor the present system, which, they claim, tends to friendly affection instead of passion, and by establishing marriage on a more comfortable and tena- ble basis preserves the family more intact and leads to fewer divorces than the American system.

When a woman marries the man she loves against the copcerted warnings cf her femily and friends and the warning turns out to have been well founied, does she zo to them and acknowledge meckly her error? Does she not rather devote her Hfe to showing them what false prophets they were and to showing them what a bright and gloriously tinted bubble is that they tried to prick for her? It is far better to realize our dreams and waken from them, If we must waken, than to waste our hearts in wnattained aspirations. Lucky are the women whose dreams have the chameleon quality of be colored by their surroundings and opportunities. For theirs can always be real- ized by one man or another. But those who, even when living in a dun- geon, would hitch their wagon to a siar, or, dwelling on a star would centre their affections on some small, gleaming pebble In the dungeou's dream beautifully even if they can't dream true.
