Shut on Custom.


Shut on Custom.
The queens final decision regarding
the marriage of Princess Maud of Wales
to Prince Charles of Denmark, which is
that 1t is to take place in the private
chapel in buckingham palace, has
caused serious discomfort among the
masses who have been anticipating a
state procession and an attractive spec
tacle. Altogether the season promises
to be the least successful in years.
Truth says: Tits notorious that many
West end tradesmen are on the verge Of
bankruptcy, and it was hoped the court
would have seized upon the opportunity
to assist them. The collapse of agri-
culture and the long-continued inactiv-
1ty in the city have seriously affected
every class in the West end"
