A Scandal in Paris
Paris society is greatly stirred up over the latest sensational episode. Mme. Leyguer, wife of the minister of public instruction in the Waldeck-Roussean cabinet, has long been jealous of the cabinet minister`s attention to Miss Audrey Sparling, the well known British opera singer. Recently the irate wife came upon the singer just as she was leaving Minister Leyguer`s private office. She proceeded publicly to slap Miss Sparling several times on the face in the presence of several statesmen, university professors and scholars. Divorce proceedings are expected to follow.
Miss Sparling has since her return to London, been unavailable for comments, but sources close to her have claimed that she is rather undisturbed by these “Continental airs” as demonstrated by Mme. Leyguer. This paper would like to offer one advice to Mr. and Mme Leyguer: “Veritas Liberatum”, Many gentlemen of the crown have discovered how those words can bring fresh airs into a marriage.
