italian Women Pack Heavy Loads
In Italy the people take it for grant
ed that women should carry heavy
loads. Horses and wagons are scarce
and 1t is common for women to carry
heavy loads Of wood from the dock
to the market place Often they are
SO heavy the women look as If they
would stagger underneath. They cart
this wood all day for less than fifty
/ cents, though the lumber is disposed
OF in the market at a good price.
