NEWS & NOTES

Mrs Oscar Wilde is taking steps (writes a London correspondent) to change her name and that of her sons. This is easily done in England, and the world soon forgets. It is quite likely that by the time Oscar comes out of his elegant retirement everyone will have forgotten that he ever had a wife, and many will not know what he was retired for. It is said that no schools would take the boys. That seems hard and unjust, but I suppose it is the way of the world.
