I know the Desloge family in St. Louis.

In fact, there is a hospital named Firmin Desloge which still exists.

Wonder if Firmin Deslodge IV is any relation?

They are quite well do to. I believe Ted Desloge is still alive and living in the St. Louis area. I am sure they have a family tree and would know of the marriage and who the woman was and why the divorce.

Yes, it is the same family. Firmin Vincent Desloge IV was born in St. Louis on Nov 22, 1909 (coincidence?) and married Durie Malcolm in 1939 in Palm Beach, Florida. His great grandfather was Firmin Rene Desloge, born Nantes, France on Feb 17, 1803. He was a lead miner and married in Washington County, Missouri in 1832.

According to passenger records of the SS Nieuw Amsterdam, Durie was born in New York City on Dec 30, 1917. Firmin and Durie were living at 625 S. Skinner Blvd, St. Louis. They were traveling from Boulogne Sur Mer, France on Aug 25, 1939 arriving in New York on Sep 1, 1939.

There is also a book titled, “The Desloge Family In America, A Genealogy” written by Lucie Furstenberg Huger.
