"Ani how do you live"
"Our men are good hunters and fishers, and
they trade great deal in horses. In travelling
much is collected that can be sold. such as
horseshoes, &C.; then the women, who make
trinkets, pick berries, trade in clothes, charms;
and in many ways we manage to pick up an
honest living"

1--WE don't see how you can cook with 50 few
things"
At this the Gitana laughed, and said: As
for that matter we can cook without dishes OF
any kind. We take chicken, twist rope OF
straw round 1t with all Its feathers on, cover 1t
up in hot ashes, and keep q Ere round It.
When It IS done the straw, feathers and skin
all come off. It's better 50 than cooked II o
skillet. We take piece Of meat, fold It up in
cloth and cover It over with clay, and then
roast =, in the hot ashes. We take q lamb and
boil 1t without taking of its hide. You've no
idea how good 1t Is. Everybody knows how to
bake hgead and roast potatoes In the ashes so
you see no dishes are needed"
