sacrificed ones life, ones girlhood,

The women talked little as they
worked. and that little was mostly of
the garden. But at meals they some
times fell into long conversations and
would sit on, peeling apples, slipping
second cup of tea, for an hour or
more. The two Chinese, one very
old, one mere boy. took care of the
house and helped in the garden, but
there was plenty left for Tamara and
her hostess to do. They breakfasted
together at haf-past seven; there

after the end of October and wood
fires all day long. After breakfast
they went to the tool closet and took
out their spades and trowels, their
pots and rakes and aprons. ....
But hot food was good and the after
luncheon rest was good. Tamara had
moved into room with stove; Lee
Wing kept her supplied with wood.
She came to love the sense of being
fatigued and dirty and warmed by a
wood fire and hot lunch. There
were days, weeks. when she seemed
incapable of thought at all and would
settle herself with books or a puzzle
on the lounge by the fire in a state
of droWsy content. Almost always
she was joined by Mary Hutton, in

MINERS SIGN TWO
 YEARS CONTRACT

New York, May 8-(UP)-Union officials prepared today to get ap- proval of rank and file miners for the two-year contract governing wages and working conditions signed last ngiht with owners representa- tives. The agreement, providing a Seven-hour day and five-day week at the same daily wage rate of the old contract of 48 hours Q week, was hailed by union leaders as Q labor victory. Nearly continuous negotia- tions had been going on for almost three months.
 The clause stipulating decreased hours of work, 1t was anticipated, will be instrumental in decreasing the number of unemployed miners in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields. It is estimated that between S0,000 and 10000 men are without work there.
