MINIMUM FOR BRIDES
Sir-Is it too late to express sympathy with "A.M.S." who wrote a week or so back on "Absolute Minimum for Brides" (prompted by an "A.C.E. Talk"). Who that has not lived in a tiny flat can tell anyone of the endless contrivings and scrappings (of goods!) to fit in? The necessity beggars the imagination of those who have grown up in spacious rooms and gardens. One just can’t imagine how brides do it. What becomes of their wedding presentsoften running into, hundreds? A practical talk on how to be happy in a flat though married might be of some assistance to the bride, who has entered into a life for which she is fortunate if she has had even one wise talk from a mother or friend. A sponge bag or a tooth-brush seems the only practical trousseau for present«day conditions, and how to manage on that would prove of some assistance.
