Marrying an Actress.
The prejudice against matrimonial alliances with actors or actresses whioh exists in French sooiety is well exemplified in the oase of the Legardes, who refused their consent to their son's projected marriage with Mademoiselle Jeanne Samary, of the Comedie Francaise. Young M. Legarde served the legal notices which are necessary when parental consent is withheld on his parents, and was off to church, when the papa and mamma interposed with fresh legal obstacles on the ground that there were errors in the notices. This caused a second delay, and a third will be created by the decision of the parents to "appeal" if the court decides against them. But M. Legarde announces that he will in any case marry the woman of his choice. Mademoiselle Samary is a beauty, an exemplary young woman of great ability, and as there are no lettres de cachet nowadays, society will probably have to content itself with frowning upon her after she is married.
