MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.
--o
TIlE PRIYATR LIFE OF I'ARISIANS.
A Lady in Fashionable Circles de
scribes the Etiquetto of Marriago
Why Women Wod--h ow Husbands
are secured for anxious Girls.
'eto York Herald's Paris Leller.
PARIS, February 10.--There are
in France different ways of marry
ing : first, the mariage do conven
ance ; second, the mariage d'in
clination ; third, the mariage de
raison. These :elong to the rogu
lar course of events. The three
irregular courses will not require
to be analyzed. They are the
mariage de la main gauche, (left
handed marriages) the mariage in
extremis and the mariages mixtes
the latter between persons of differ
eut religious professions. It is ex
tremely difficult to ascertain which
is the best to recommend. Men
who have had only one wife have
naturally only tried one way, and,
as a rule, generally complain of it.
When I have come across widows
or widowers who have had occasion
to try two or three different ways I
have noticed that the one they once
fancied was the worst proved the
best after all. Women who have
married young often throw no light
on the subject, but the deceased
husband is always spoken of as a
superior kind of man, and even as
the best of men, whereas widowers
never go off in raptures about their
defunct wives.
A HAPPY FUTURE STATE-COMPARATIVELY.
If the dQad could speak we
should know whether matrimony
really is a blessed state, or even a
state in which a man may be
blessed. The following is some
what, detrimental to this theory. A
lady had lost her husband, but she
had left off her mourning and went
to parties. Being asked by one of
those gentlemen who attend soirees
as mediums whom she would like to
sec in spirit, and having replied,
"My poor James," the departed
suddenly rose out of the centre of
the carpet, as it were, and stood
before the whole company:
"Oh ! James, tell me, are you
happy?"
"Very."
"Are you happier now than when
on earth ?"'
"Much happier."
"Then, James, you must be in
heaven ?"
"No ; I'm in hell."
This is, I am aware, a digression,
but it illustrates figui atively the
difference between marritd men's
state of mind after they have given
up their moral flesh and that which
prevails before marriage.
MARRYING FOR FORTUNE, FOR LOVE AND
FOat NOTHINo.
I will now explain what is im--.
plied by the different sorts of
nmatrimnony above mentioned. The
mariage de convenance is one where
the chief points considered are
p)osition, fortune and family. The
age of the contracting p)arties is no
object at all ; seventy may wed
seventeen. The marnge d'inclina
tion is one where love has joined
the hands and hear'ts of a hopeful
couple without any consideration of
means. The mariage de raison
unites persons of ripe age, ripe ex..
perience and comfortable income ;
persons who cannot get on without
some one to sew on their buttons,
thread their needles and make their
coffee ; persons who, feeling no
inclination for each other, neverthe4
less expect that wvhen the ring has
been p)ut on that particular finger1
they will be propped up as they go
down hill by the partner who bears
up longest.
A FRIEND OF THE FAMfILY.
Whieer of the foregoing wa a1
be adopted no marringo can ta e
place without a mariouse. A
marieuse is a fiend of the family
w~ho has no interest in making up4
matches beyond that of enjoying it.
She introduces single men to single
girls in a spirit of amiable solici.
tuide for their good ; the men are
usually "charming fellows,' whom
she may have met at the seaside and
who have confided in her; the1
young ladies have been out of
school1 or convent for half the last
season. These affairs are generally
commenced with a conversation. in
tefollowing style Abetween.a
mariuseandthe. young lady's
mother :,..
"Are you anxious, my dear Helene,
that Bertho should make a grand
match ? You know she has only an
income of 30,000 francs."
"No, providing Berthe marry a
man who knows how to present
himself in society and he have a
good temper."
"Then I have a husband for her ;
he is thirty-two (this moans forty
seven); ho enjoys excellent health
(he weighs 280 pounds) ; he has a
good name, never snores, &c."
"He will do," replies the mother.
The day this gentleman is intro
diced, Borthe is told not to bite
her nails when her gloves are off;
she is'not to talk nonsense either.
The two futurs simply meet and
look at each other. From this day
the 'nariouse lives in a fairy whirl
of visiting, shopping, advising and
accepting attentions until the
wedding day rises, when she shares
ahnost as many honors as the bride
herself, while the bride's mother
keeps in the background.
NOT TO BE DISPENSED WITH.
The marieuse is equally indis..
pensable for a mariage d'inclina
tion ; but in these cases the love.,
sick couple are the first to seek her
and implore her servi es. She is
entreated to soften the hearts of
parents who are opposed to the
folly of "such a match." One of the
two is going to jump off the Arc de
Triomphe or Bastile Column or over
the Pont des Arts. The father on
the one side and the mother on the
other will not relent A marieuse
never has a hard heart ; she reasons
with the young people, but cannot
resist their entreatie.s, and goes
from. one quartier to another, mov
ing all the powers she can, until
lfaire de.caur ends before M. le
Maire. The mariuse in case of
niariage de raison is usually the
lady who presides at the tribune of
a private cafe or the keeper of a
select boarding house. Parties who
marry par raison are spinsters and
bachelors, persons who, when tired
of their solitary selves, turn to cir
culating libraries, reading rooms,
tables de hote and cards in the even.,
ing. The mistresses of such estab.
lishmonts become their confidantes,
receive their small gifts that camn
mence with a bouquet for the desk
on which account books are kept,
and return favors with the husband
or wife for which the flowers plead.
A marieuse sees no harm in any of
the different plans followed. She finds
an appropriate something to say to
all her proteges and always gives
sound advice. A few samples will
exemplify : "Remember that there
is but one invariable rulo in married
life-a man and wife must dine every
day." "You will not always be in
love ; matrimony comes after such
aestacy like smoke when the flame
is out."
WHY PEOPLE MARRT.
The indifference of young men in
regard to matrimony can only be
compared to the eagerness of maid.
ens to become wives. The chief
inducement is la soiree du cont rat
-a party given on the eve of the
wedding, when. the marriage act
s read before the assembled relatives
md when all the stipulations con..
:terning the "dot" are made known.
rho trousseau is then exhibited.
Some marry under the regime de la
:ornmunante, or common purse, but
naany consider it improvident, and
thers marry under the regimec dotal,
md the wife's dot is only alienated
n cases prescribed by law. Then
~here is the corbeille do marriage,
~ontaining the diamond necklace, *
he earrings, the laces and Indian
ashmnere, not to speak of other gifts.
shawls may be out of fashion, buit
hey are always included in the
orbeille de la mariec.
soMETHLNG TO DE MARBIED FOR,
The proper cashmere has to be
ought at the Union des Indos, be
ause that is one place where an..
iestresses and grandmothers wvent,
or theirs, and because the Union
los Indes, at the corner of the Rue

renuine camel's hair shawls, just as
,ho Fidele Bergor has the specia lit.
>f drages for christenings. A shawl
f this kind, with the stamp on it, is
me of the rights of wedded life--a
hing to be married for. After the
soiree and the corbeille come the
nesse chante, with a melting "salu

ar decorated with flowers, a strip of
Sarpet extending down the centre of
