"SOVIET, MARRIAGES,
A PETROGRAD COMEDY.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT, TO THEM." DAILY TELEGRAPH."}
To find a husband, to divores him on the same day, and a few hours later to marry a beggar called in from the street- what an improbable story. But this is exactly what happened to a most respect. ahie Euaian lady. Her husband, a well- | known merchant in Petrograd, had been mobilised by the Reds în 1919 and sent against. Denikin. »åfter many adventures he soaped, and by gradual stages reach Fed this country. Meanwhile his wife and This family and continued to remain in Petrograd, where they endured" great hardships. Only a few months ago was the husband enabled to get into touch with his wife and to send her some money through a friendly Bolshevik courier. The main object was to get the family out of the clutches of the Commissars The lady, a very energetic person, discovered very soon that to obtain an official per- mission to leave was quite impossible. Ás regard, an escape over the frontier, ay sa msay other poor people have done, she did not want to take this great, risk beenuse of her three small children. Ati last a friend sent her to one of the mys terious middlemen who simply swarm around all Soviet institutions.
This important person carefully wont through the facts of the ease and gave his judgment in one sentence:
Quite easy, but you should be a foreigner The lady explained that her husband was a Bussian, and that, therefore.. but she was interrupted: **What doe this matter? You can divorce your hus band, can't you?" The lady, well ac quainted with the amenities of Bolshevik divorce, replied in the affirmative, but added that is would not make her a foreign mubject. That need not trouble you," she was told: "we'll soon find you suitable husband-that is if you can, pay the price,"
The
Eoin the most matter-of-fact way, the bargain was clinched and the miracle- worker began operations. The first dif ficulty to be got over, was the absence of the husband. According to Bolshevik law, instantaneora divorce is granted only when both parties are present in court. The miracle-worker immediately produced an obliging friend who, for a eans.deration, was quite ready to play the part of the real husband... But în Soviet Russia a passport is more im- portant than its owner himself problem of providing the spurion “hus- band with the necessary proofs of his identity was most elegantly solved, by the miracle-worker, and this without having recourse to such vulgar means as forgery. It was most artistically done. The husband" addressed a paper to the committee of the house where his wife lived and where he had just arrived; he naked for a bath certificate. This was duly entered in the visitors book of the public baths he next went to. There his clothes suddenly disappeared, ind. the poor viclita received from the manage- ment a new certificate confirming the fact. lac nude condition he was brought back home, where the house committee, on the strengta of the bath certificate, delivered to him a new paper. With this the husband" went to the local police. station, where he deposited complaint
against persons unknown, and in ex- change for the house committee'n certi- ficate received a new document in proof of the fact that he bad applied for a new passport. After this all was easy. Hus band and wife went to the Revolutioniry Tribunal, where in five minutes the whole business was settled. There was, though, a moment of tension when the "husband" could not remember his name, and had to be audibly prompted by the miracle worker hovering in the background.
Meanwhile the miracle-worker had pre- pared a new husband" for the divorced lady. This was a regular inhabitant of the worst slums whose name happened to have an outlandish sound. By a wise manipulation of certificates he was trans- formed into a Lettish citizen, to whom the lady was duly married by the same judge who had just pronounced her divorce. Bat all was not yet in order. The three children, according to the law, retained their father's name and nation- ality; the lady could leave with her Lataving husband, but the children had to remain in Russia. The miracle-worker made light of this new difficulty." The next morning he brought the whole com pany again before the obliging judge, to whom the lady, previously instructed, made the following speech: "Here are my three children, whose real father I married only yesterday, I appeal to the justice of the Soviet law to repair the injustice of the Tsar's regime.” Two most imposing witnessce conjured up by the miracle worker immediately stepped forward and affirmed that the lady had stated the truth. The judge made an im passioned speech about the merits of Communism, and declared that the Lat vian "husband" was the legitimate father of the lady's children. After this there were,, no more obstacles to the family's departure from the Land of the Free Russian The miracle-worker's fec was 3,000,000.roublen quite cheap" con sidering the rate of exchange. Needless "to say that the Latvian" "husband" did
