Even the most luxurious of Austin Cars is no means prohibitive in price, whilst the "Seven" models are so inexpensive as to be within the easy reach of almost anyone. They are beautifully finished and the very essence of reliability, ready for tons and sometimes hundreds of thousands of miles under the most arduous conditions.

The Vicar's Tears.

The Vicar's feelings are best ex- pressed in his words. "I am very and," he said, with tears in his eyes. "I cannot think what led the people to behave like this. I have done nothing wrong. They think any marriage shows lack of respect for my wife. It is nothing of the kind.
