Ceremony is Performed by the Mayor, Who Receives No Salary. British soldiers billeted in the small- er French towns and villages behind the lines have often been surprised at the notices of mrjrriage posted outside the offices of the mayors of the sari- ous communes. For the majority of the inhabitants have departed for safer places farther from the fighting zone. The explanation is simple. When a couple decide to marry in France notice of their intention must; be posted for about three weeks int the respective communes of the bride' and bridegroom, and in the communes where their respective parents reside. It often happens, therefore, that four different notices of marriage have to be displayed, and refugees from vil- lages in the war zone must have their notices displayed in the usual way in their own/villages. The ceremony is performed by the Mayor. A French majre is not as an Eeeglish mayor. There are 86,000 may- ors for the 50,000 communes of France. The mayor is unpaid, his duties are much more onerous than those of the chairman of an English district council, his office is often part of the State school, and he is usually assisted by the village school- master, who acts as secretary to the commune, and who, by reason of his official position, is ineligible for the post of mayor, A marriage costs no- thing. It is conducted usually in the council chsfhtber by the mayor, who for the occasion always ties the tri- color' around his waist. He usually delivers e little )homily to the newly - married couple, and also usually ex- ercisae his tine -honored privilege of kissing the brute.
