In his claim the Marquis "had stated that he had been ruined by his excessive expenditure on the lady. But according to counsel his Villa Soleil to the Var Bot family properly, while in the Riviera thorn, were no illusions as to the Marquis's supposed fortune. The Marquis had, in- fact, known difficult times, and had been obliged to

MARRIAGE LAW IN EGYPT,

Henceforth Egyptics, boys under eigh- teen and girls under sixteen years of age, are forbidden to mairy by an enactment passed by the Council of Ministers, says the Cairo correspondent of the Timës, The new law is a stricking justification of the Egyptian Women's Union founded in 1921, by Madame Kuda Sharawi Pasha, a widow of great wealth, who ha sizce her husband's death devoted time and money to creating and developing the women's, movement in Egypt. Recently the Union, issued a programme, of which fixing & minimum marriage age was the most prominent feature, which was urged with rich persistency that the Govern mont eventually felt compelled to capitu lale. The marriage of young girl, often" under fourteen years of age, sometimes younger, to, men old enough to be their fathers, has long been a national disgrace and might have continued indefinitely,. but for the efforts of the Women's organi sation.
