ORIENTAL VIEW
WIFE AND SLAVE
LONDON, 12th May.
M. Barb a Jonescu, a Rumanian, who entertained Prince Carol of Rumania in Surrey before the latter was ordered to leave England, and who was awarded £10,000 damages against the "Evening Standard" because he was de-j scribed as a Polish Jew, has rather j Oriental ideas about his wife's posi-j tion. • j "Indeed, inside the wedding ring arc inscribed the words, 'Enter into J slavery'," said counsel for the defence when M. Jouescu's wife was sued for £1329 by a West End firm. Plaintiff's counsel said that during 1928 Madame Jonescu ordered threo suitcases made of crocodile skin, two bearing Prince Carol's initials and one her husband's, also crocodile skin dressing cases fitted with silver bottles, one costing £431, as a present for her husband. When asked to pay, she pleaded that she was a victim of the.Hatry crash. The Judge ruled that she acted as her husband's agent and dismissed her from the suit.
