Mother-in-Law Approves

Few years have so many nationally famed bridal pairs as 1929.

Together they visited New Haven, where John is a clerk in the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R., and inspected the four-room $78-per-month apartment which Florence and John have rented there. Said Mother-in-Law Coolidge: "I am pleased with it."

"A real home, in other words a real marriage, is what we plan to have. I can't discuss companionate marriages because I can't understand how two persons could choose to live casually when they might settle down to making the most of their lives together.

"We're going to have a high time here Tuesday evening. Sister Jean is going to give me a grocery shower. Wednesday afternoon Helen Manning is having a bridge tea for me at the Hartford Golf Club. And on Thursday luncheon, bridge and a shower at the golf club again. . .."
