ERENCH MARKRLAGES. MATRIMONY THE GREAT OBJECT TO ALL GIRLS OF FRANCE.

Customs In This Particular Have Changed Radically—At the Presen? Time the Per- sonal Inclinations of Young Women Are Considered.

| Miss Anna L. Bicknell isan English | lady who has had most unusual oppor- | tunities for studying French life. Fora | number of years she was a governess in | the household of Napoleon III and re- sided in the Tuileries. For The Century Miss Bickneli has written an article on “French Wives and Mothers.’’ Miss Bicknell says:

The old mariage de convenance, which caused so much sorrow and consequent evil in former days, when a girl was taken out of a convent to be shown the man to whom she was about to be mar- ried, is now a thing of the past. It must be acknowledged, however, that mar- riages are still made up, often tvo has- tily and superficially, by nicely balanced

| family arrangements and by the inter-

vention of friends. Nevertbeless, attrac- tion and repulsion are now taken into consideration, ami a girl is no longer forced to marry ® mai whom she posi- tively dislikes. I could quote instances in the very highest (historical) aristoc- racy where, at the last moment, after the trousseau had been sent in (marked, according to custom, with the united initial letters of the two names elabo- rately embroidered) and all the social

| preparations made, the marriage was

broken off because the bride had de- clared that she could not ‘‘get accus- tomed’”’ to the bridegroom nor endure

| the idea of seeing his face in her home

during her natural life. In one of these instances the family lamentations over the initials of the trousseau were really amusing. Fortunately a substitute was soon found whose name, like that of the rejected suitor, began with an X, and the complications were thus happily settled.

The great object of the French girl’s life is marriage. From the time of her birth her parents have prepared for this event, and in many cases they have con- siderably straitened their income and curtailed their enjoyments to make up her dot. ISery girl in every class is ex- pected to have something. Those who have nothing are exceptions and consti- tute a minority of old maids. The girls

THE PAILY E

a

XAMINER, CHARLOTTET

=ho 1101 cioice de pot marry generally become puns, usually much aguinst the ; wishes of their parents. The old tales | of young women being forced into con- vents to improve the position of their brothers aro forgotten in these days, when, while no child can on any pre- tense be deprived cf a share in the fa- ther’s inheritance, monastic vows are not recognized by law. Nuns and spin- sters are exceptions; marriage is the rule.

When a girl 1s of age to be introduced into society, her friends and relatives immediately look out for a suitable hus- i band, whom it is considered highly de- sirable to obtain before she has reached the age of 21, that she may not be pro- | claimed fille majeure when the banns | are published. The principal considera- tions are equality of birth, of position, of fortune, and in the last particular the scale is usually expected to weigh rather more on the side of the young lady, especially if the young man, in addition to sufficient present advantages, can bring forward a number of relatives not likely to live long. This is called having hopes (des esperances—beaucoup d’esperances). If the young lady with a substantial dot can also show a satisfac- tory background of invalid uncles and aunts, then everything isasit should be, and the young people are brought together with every prospect of a favor- able conclusion. It happens, however, too often that they do not know each

| other sufficiently, and that they are per- suaded to believe that the mutual liking

}

is greater than it really is. Sometimes this sort of undefined attraction ripens into a deep and devoted love. When this occurs, there are no more affection- ate wives or more faithful widows than Frenchwomen.

More frequently, especially in the higher classes, a sort of cool friendliness springs up, where they see but little of each other, and freedom is enjoyed on both sides. The authority of the hus- band is less felt than in an English household. There isa sort of under- standing that in her home the wife is queen and settles matters as she pleases,

But their best and warmest feelings are awakened by all that concerns their children. French parents are perhaps the most affectionate in the world. The interests and welfare of their children are their first consideration, and won- derful sacrifices of their own pleasure and enjoyment are made in favor of their sons and daughters by tho most worldly men and women. These are taken as a matter of course; no one thinks of doing otherwise or of seeing any merit in such acts.

The mothers especially are unequal- ed. Nothing will stand in the way of a Frenchwoman where her children’s in- terests are concerned. This love is so engrossing that it swallows up every other. They are more mothers than wives, and if called upon to choose be- tween allowing a husband to go alone on a foreign mission or leaving their children they would not hesitate. ‘‘Mes enfants avant tout. ”’
