The girl without a country Is the French maiden who consents to marry an American citizen. Recent laws have rendered It impossible foher, under any circumstances, to become American. Long ago she forfeited her nationality according to the French statutes. Now she Is without any place to hang her hat. Many difficulties will doubtless arrive because of these newlyframed laws. In the Impossibility

can be Included in the one her husband holds. But if the maximum number of French Immigrants yearly admitted to America has been attained, this woman, who Is considered French In spite of the nationality of her husband, cannot follow her husband to America. Other complications will arise which will probably make a few young Yankees look elsewhere for their wives.
