A short story written for broadcasting by Ella MacMahon, and read by the author.
Here is a charming story portraying the Irish character at its richest and most humorous. The story tells of how Mary Mulligan, who lived just on the borders of Northern Ireland and Eire, loved shopping in the great city of Belfast, to reach which she had to cross the border and incidentally evade the Customs officers should she wish to escape paying duty.
There came a time when the increase of frontier vigilance coincided with Mary Mulligan's desire for a beautiful new coat, and you will hear how she and her husband tackled the extremely tricky problem of getting it undetected past the frontier.

The Bath Pump Room Orchestra, under its versatile conductor Maurice Miles , is the oldest-established orchestra in the country, and is carrying on a tradition of over two and a quarter centuries of orchestral music in Bath.
In 1671 there is on record ' a band of musick' which consisted then of five players. At the beginning of the eighteenth century the famous Beau Nash was requested by the physicians of Bath to allow this band to play in the Pump Room, and so successful was this venture that the Pump Room musicians have been continued ever since. Subscriptions were opened, famous players engaged, and the Pump Room Orchestra began its task of playing not only in concerts, but for the famous balls that drew the elite from all over the country.
