 gently in landing Mir. Willie Wilde
 as husband. MT. Willie Wilde be-
 longs to a family over which the
 stately Lady Wilde presides and in
 which the sunfower and green pink
 Oscar poses for the admiration of
 the lean and clinging esthetics of
 the other sex who worship at his
 eccentric shrine. The nobility of
 labor has not seriously impressed
 this family, which is more addicted
 to languishing and lolling than to
 hustling for living, and since on e
 of its scions has allied himself wit h

 sition to indulge in eestatics and
 lilies has been encouraged still fur ther. This view of the case has par

 does not see why he should not be
 supported by her and allowed to
 recline on rosy beds of ease. Mrs. Leslie. however, does not share this conviction with her husband, and
 proposes to apply the heroic reme- dy. Before she married Willie he
 had showed an earning power of of about 5000 year. She is re- solved he shall continue to produce that or reasonable amount by labor or he shall not have a cent of her money.

Mrs. Leslie has given the Wildes a reasonable time to make decision. If Willie decides to go to work and earn S5,- 900 per annum she will bring him back with her and allow him to share the luxuries of her elegant home at Gerlach, for boarding at which $5,- 900 year is not an exorbitant sum If he declines to do it, then she will leave him behind in London, free to live where he pleases, and to pay his board as best he can.
 Such is the situation. Willie : Wilde must learn to work or he must cease to be Mrs. Leslie's husband It IS due to her to say that she did not resort to this cruel test until she had labored with the young c man long and earnestly, seeking to W impress upon him the American dea of the nobility of labor.
