lecture at Lady Cowdray's house.
The Russian woman has not very much
Homework to do" he said. In tho har-
vest time they sleep on hay In the barns
or on coats on the floor. There are no
beds to make. They eat out Of one dish.
They have wooden spoons and they sir
round and help themselves. and pick up
the meat with their fingers. There ara
no dishes to wash.
There are no mantlepieces or vases.
so there il no busting to do. In hve
minutes the whole house can be swept
out. No peelings Of potatoes. They are
put in the pot practically as they are.
Not much cooking. There Is big pot.
and in 1t are put various vegetables and
meat. and that forms the staple food Of
the Russian peasant in the evening.
There Is no fussing over children as
there IL in England. There Is no special
room for visitors. So there Is really
nothing for the women to do in the
house. There is nothing to do in the
evening. No darning OF stockings. The
women and children are bare-lesged."
