"Promptly at high noon the unhappy couple entered the court room to the soft strains of Hymn Twenty-three. The American wife, looking happy for the first time in many years, leaned on the arm of the family solicitor; she wore a lovely green going-away gown and bore a huge bouquet of incriminating affidavits; her train was carried by her minor child. Next in the divorce procession came the co-respondents, charmingly and in some cases daringly gowned. The husband was supported by his counsel, and swooned twice during the separation ceremony, which was performed beneath a monster floral ax, while a surpliced jury sang "My Boni Lies Over the Ocean," "How Can I Bear to Leave Thee," an other appropriate selections. After thr ceremony the former wife's father gave a luncheon to the Count's creditors and arranged to pay them thirty cents on the dollar. The Count's gift to his former wife was a statement of his debts to date. Her gift to him was a tin can in a Tiffany setting. Miss Creesis will be at home after March 15."
- Reason
- A fine image, recently went through FPC in an unrestored state; sadly, I was very busy last week and couldn't do anything. Working with Paris 16, however, I think it's been made a fair bit better. {{CSS image crop}} is used to trim the borders a bit in articles, giving us the best of both worlds: A tight thumbnail and a more balanced full image.
