Ramsgate’s municipal marriage bureau, started a month ago, has resulted in three engagements. The scheme was originated by Mayor H. Stead, who was constantly approached by lonely men and women to find them partners. He suggested to Mrs. Hicks, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce that she should put the writers in touch with each other. Mrs Hicks has so far dealt with 300 applications from women and 100 from men, involving so much work, she can deal with no more applications this year.
