Bank Clerks Who
Hide Marriage
Behind the respectable, red-brick walls of suburban villas in London and the large provincial cities lies the tragedy of the hidden wife-the wife of the bank clerk who, because of the stringent regulations of his employ- ment, dare not let it be known that he has married under a certain salary.
