The bride's book, kept in the gift department of a famous , Piccadilly store, states "The Queen," is a modern institution that has proved its worth. Brides write in it not only what they would like from their friends, but what they have already got—and what they do not want! For instance the future Duchecj of Norfolk did not want any more glass given her by her kind friends, Arundel Castle being well stocked with glass. On the other hand garden chairs, rugs, and ashtrays would be acceptable for summer festivities planned. Handbags also would be liked as' she felt she. could not have too many. A pigskin kitbag for weekend use was another request.
