AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A young wife and her friend decide to check up on a newspaper advertisement for a wife to go to the colonies with - apparently made by the wife's husband. Such seems to be the case - when halfway through he reveals that he has seen through his wife's disguise, and that the ad was for his friend. The two friends marry and go to Australia. (PB)
