SINGER'S DIVORCE PETITION.
MADAME CHALIAPIN'S CASE. <BT CABLI3 —PBXSS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABL* ASSOCIATION.) (Received. November Ist, 5.5 p.m.) ■MOSCOW, October 31. Madame Chaliapin, wife of the famous opera singer, who is now staying at M. Chaliapin's former town house, says the news that lier husband's divorce petition is down for hearing on November 3rd is staggering, and can only be described as an attempt on someone else's part to get the Chaliapine fortune. She made a statement: "When I married M. Chaliapin he was an unknown singer. I earned more than he as a balerina. When M. Chaliapin first went to New York I returned for his sake and lived in seclusion. I have suffered for 22 years, while others have revelled in my husband's glory, but I have kept this secret from my children. He now mentions alimony publicly when he might quietly have continued his previous payments. Money cannot pay for my years of suffering. I have sacrificed my whole life for him."
