SOLDIERS WIVES
I have been interested in the letters stating accommodation is not available for women with a child, and my own experience may prove amusing. A short time ago I advertised my large sitting-room (20 x 181 to let, unfurnished, and said "woman with baby welcomed"—but nary a reply did I receive, although I clearlv mentioned they would have to share the kitchen and bathroom with one other person only—myself. As I could not let this room" I decided to try for a small flat myself, but so far entirely without success. The rents round Grafton, etc., seem large (one wonders what income tax return some of these landladies submit), and an unfurnished two-room flat just seems not in existence—unless one pays from £2 up for it. Hence, I have an empty room nobody wants, a house I cannot afford to live in unless this is rented to someone else, or alternatively, cannot find accommodation for myself, elsewhere INTERESTED.
