roof. They had clean and well kept

fences OF wooden boards. Through the
fence a gateway opened into 4 court

There Is large room with q brick

the room. In this the family eat live
and sleer-some on the stove and some
on the HoOr-while separate small
room is kept and reserved for visitors
or others who are not members Of the
family. The rooms are whitewashed,
and each member Of the family has q
steam bath every week in hut kept
