MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

The state of the marriage and divorce laws of France offers mich material for the special attention of the more thoughtful men and women of other countrice-those of Great Britain in particular. French feminists-both male and female-are not so much occupied with measures for obtaining the suffrage for women as with projected immediate reforms of the Napoleonic Code of Law. The laws concerning marriage and divorce at present are in a peculiar state of transition. But the impetus of newer and mere modern thought has in a measure moved more quickly than a certain section of even the emancipated women themselves, so that there is a disparity between the extrams freedom of the divorce laws and many women
