WILLIE WILDE.
Mrs. Leslie knows nothing about my
marriage. She is still in frequent COM
munication with my mother. Lady Wilde.
i do not desire to say anything against
Mrs Leslie: simply. we did not get on
together. l saw her on business when
she was last in London. Our interview
ed. She wished to condemn me to a
life OF immoral celibacy, as n punishment
for my deeds in America.
MY marriage, which was solemnized
Jan. IL, was kept secret for family rea-
sons. Only my family. the family of my
wife and few intimate friends were
cognizant OF the event. The arrange
ments for 1t were sanctioned by my
wife''s mother Lady Wilde and my
brother Oscar.
My bride, who is several years my
junior, comes OF an old Irish family;
father Is Secretary OF the Board of Trade
IN Dublin. Her mother is a member of
famous Admiral Rowley. Her sisters are
all married to IRISH gentlemen. My wife
Is well known In artistic circles In Lon
don. She has a strong vein Of Hihernan
humor. and Is very popular In social cir
cles. She Is frequent contributor to the
journal The Queen.
our honeymoon was spent quietly at
the picturesque fishing village Broad
stairs. We are about to reside near Lady
Wilde.
