LONDON, April 29. - It has been learned that immediately after her husband was arrested Mrs. Oscar Wilde took her children and her
belongings from Willie’s residence, on Tite street, and instructed her lawyer to institute proceedings for divorce. The proceedings will hinge somewhat on
the present criminal proceedings against Wilde. Willie Wilde, Oscar’s brother, formerly the husband of Mrs. Frank Leslie, who divorced him, had to raise
money last week to pay Oscar’s lawyers for their services. Willie and Oscar have not been on friendly terms for a long time. When the former visited the
Old Bailey on Friday to inform his brother that the money had been paid to Sir Edward Clarke, Oscar’s counsel, Oscar said:
"Do not come to see me. I do not wish to see my people."
The prosecution completed its case to-day in the trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor. The defense will open to-morrow.
NEW YORK, April 29. - The wife of Oscar Wilde, who is about to sue him for divorce, is of Irish extraction. Her maiden name was
Constance Lloyd. Her father had a lucrative practice as a barrister, and at his death she inherited a large sum of money. She has been described as
exceedingly pretty, of dainty features and graceful figure. They were married some fifteen years ago, and until the present storm burst upon her husband's
head, she appeared to believe in him implicitly and to be most deeply devoted to him. Their union, in fact, was regarded by many as an unusually fortunate
and happy one. She continually looked up to the self-constituted autocrat of estheticism and scrupulously adopted his ideas as to dress. Even after he had
returned to the conventional styles of men’s attire, she persisted in wearing the so-called esthetic costumes, and these were frequently described with
enthusiasm in ladies’ fashion journals.

The manners of Mrs. Wilde are simplicity itself. It is related of her that she even shrinks from telling of a "society fib." In Tite
street, Chelsea, her home was fitted up in admirable taste and adorned with desirable pictures and statuary. Her receptions were at one time frequented by
some of the noted men in literature, journalism and art. Mrs. Wilde has two children, boys, Cyril, born in 1885, and Vivian, born in 1886.
