A WHOLE NEW LIFE FOR ALICE IF ONLY RAYMOND WOULD MARRY HER

Alice Silverhorne and Frederick de Janze had married as Catholics.  Despite her affairs, they were still married.

By 1926, Alice de Janze had a new life in Africa, a new house in Africa, new friends in Africa, and she was free of her family in America, but she was not yet free of her husband. She and Raymond de Trafford were understood to be a couple in their set but marriage?

Once again, as was the case with the French noble de Janzes, this rich American heiress was considered to be not quite good enough, below the status of the English de Traffords, due to her American New Money heritage. But also, importantly, they did not like that she was married and it would mean a divorce in order for her to be free to marry again.  A Catholic annulment (the alternative to divorce) was a long process. Pressured by his family to move on from an American with two children who was not even raising them herself, threatened to be totally disinherited himself and shunned out of his family, Raymond broke with Alice on March 25,1927. They had been together less than a year.

Alice was outraged. She pointed out that she had money. She suggested that she was not so religious that she would go through the annulment process. The situation was embarrassing for her.

Even Frederick went to Raymond and told him he should marry Alice, still his wife!  

Raymond showed back up and told Alice he would not marry her. She tried everything. Begging. Reason.  Argument.  Seduction. The man was not budging.  He told her that he would have no income if not for his family and he had no intention of being kept!

(This was on page 92 of the book The Temptress by Paul Spicer and as I read I thought, a ha!  Here we have the term Kept used for a married man whose wife has the money!  You see!)
