New York, May 18. -- Mrs. Frank Leslie has given up her business and is going to Europe to stay until fall to spend several months
with her friend, Lady Wilde, who is greatly broken up over the scandals regarding her son Oscar.
"I do not make this change because I contemplate retiring from business," said Mrs. Leslie yesterday. "I find it necessary to make an
extended stay abroad just at this time. I had a chance to profitably lease my business in this manner, and took it. Yes, I intend to spend much of my time
abroad with Lady Wilde. She has bravely borne these scandals and public falsehoods about Oscar Wilde. She has arisen from a sick bed to struggle for him
against his traducers, and she has the utmost confidence in him, as have all those who knew him so well, and love him for his charming personality and his
great accomplishments. I think it my duty to comfort Lady Wilde all I can in this time of trial.
"There is no truth whatever in the newspaper rumors that Mrs. Oscar Wilde will get a divorce. She and her husband are now living
together at a quiet resort in England.

"Do I expect to see my former husband, Willie Wilde? Why, I think I shall see him. He is with his sister now, I believe. It will not
make any difference. Why, yes, I should like to see him. You know, our marriage was nothing more than a mistake. There is nothing save the most friendly
feeling between us today. We know now that we were not fitted for each other, although I still have the deep respect for his genius that I always had.
Willie is only a wayward boy, and our little mistake does not interfere with the friendship that will always exist between Lady Wilde and myself."
Mrs. Leslie expects to sail next week.
