CLOTHING COUPONS
I heartily agree with "WatSher regarding the unfairness of the coupon system. The married woman has to provide sheets, towels ana other linen out of her coupons, v/hereas tne single woman gets all her coupons allowed or clothes, and, when getting married, additional coupons for her trousseau. 1 had to purchase two pairs of sheets and six pillow slips to replenish my much-needed bed linen. Sheets tooK 14 coupons alone, and the pillow slips a good slice which left me with very few for clotmng. It Icoks like either sleeping between rags or wearing rags. COMMON SENSE.
