INTERESTING FIGURES
1934.
Paris, Dec. 10, Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the French Divorce Law, statistics wore published here showing that in the last half- century
were 722,860 divorcea granted in France.
These figures, complied from the records of the Ministry of Justice reveal that:
1. The first five years are the hardest for a married couple;
2. Wivos apply for divorce more than husbands:
3. Adultery ranks second to cruelty as the most frequent cause of divorce;
4. Paris is no longer a divorce mill for Americans and English; and
6. Divorce has been steadily growing in popularity in France, alace its incepilon fifty years ago, with the single exception of the World War period.
The French divorce law was promulgated officially In July, 1884, but did not become effective until September of that year. In
