FIANCES'"WAR WIDOWS."
•
Though Unwed, They Wear Mourning
for German Soldiers.
Many young women in the Duchy
of Baden, Germany, betrothed to of-
ficers and soldiers killed in the war,
have taken advantage of a recent de-
cree of Alia Minister. of Justice that
gives 'them :practically the status of
widows. • Theyhave adopted the,
names of their dead fiances, and call
themselves "Mrs." (Frau). They
wear mourning and wedding • rings,
and are known as war widows They
wear head-dresses distinguishing:
them from real wvidow e." '
It is expected that this system will
be extended to other German States.
Marriage ceremonies. are performed
in many cases at Baden at the Regis-
try Office in the usual 'way with wit-
nesses. •
