NAM I'M Divorce Brokerage Becomes Popular Par is Profession PAItlS (AP) Marriage broker age has been almost entirely dis placed by divorce brokerage as a profitable profession in Paris. American fathers und mothers are cxtrnnrly reluctant to provide the dot necessary to pay the mar riage broker's fees. But wealthy husbands and wives who want tlielr freedom are. willing to pay liber ally fur fast action. The brokers work on the steam ers coming over from New York and haunt the fashionable hotels along the Champs Klysecs and the line di Kjvoli.

The brokers pay little nttention to nationalities. Many of the brokers aro divorcees themselves and supply personal I testimonials as to'the" painless and effective methods of the attorney they are touting. ; An American woman of consid erable wealth, who has never mar ried, remarked ' to a group of friends In a hotel do luxo on the I Place Vendomo: ' . - "A mere spinster Isn't In It in Purls any more.
