A QUIET WEDDING The following Saturday Mrs Yabsley astonished her customers by delivering the shirts and collars in the afternoon.

There were cries of amazement.
"No, I'm quite sober," she explained; "but I'm changin' the 'abits of a lifetime just to show it can be done." Then she hurried home to clean up the house.

After much thought, she had decided to hold the reception after the wedding in the front room, as it was the largest.

She spent an hour carrying the irons, boards, and other implements of the laundry into the back rooms.

A neighbour, who poked her head in, asked if she were moving.
