the miners are all covered in coal dust. Only 1/3 mines have baths for miners. In home the miner has to boil water and wash himself in a small basin. The houses in industrial towns are in bad shape, most of them are about to fall down, but people still live in these because there is nowhere else to live.

Especially my attention was struck by the fact that the author incorporates a settlement system, when he calculates the costs for rearing and profit from the sale of poor women' babies. According to Swift, "a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by her milk for a solar year, with the little other nourishment: at most not above the value of two shillings" and he also believes that a healthy and delicious infant may easily be sold for 10 shillings, which means that "the mother will have 8s. net profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child" (53,55).

Shetland pony to collect money for the war. The RHS, which in 1911 refused to allow ladies banquets, now recognized that lady gardeners existed, and acknowledged the necessity to dig for victory. In 1915 it even organized a show of women's work at the Horticultural Halls. As the war deepened, the RHS struggled on. By November the Council had removed King Ferdinand of Bulgaria as an honorary fellow and, the following February, decided that tickets should remain at ten shillings for the first public-access day, with two shillings and sixpence on the second day, and one shilling on the third day of the show. By March 1916 the RHS were wondering whether to cancel the whole event because of the cost of the new entertainment taxes, but Lord Balfour said it would benefit trade. At this time, the RHS was also given the sad task of working on the layout of war cemeteries in France. The 1916 Show was therefore very downbeat: it had no great tent, alcoholic drinks

It had not been very great; he had lost every point; but when Mrs. Phillips began to express her concern thereupon, he assured her with much earnest gravity that it was not of the least importance, that he considered the money as a mere trifle, and begged that she would not make herself uneasy. "I know very well, madam," said he, "that when persons sit down to a card-table, they must take their chances of these things, and happily I am not in such circumstances as to make five shillings any object. There are undoubtedly many who could not say the same, but thanks to Lady Catherine de Bourgh, I am removed far beyond the necessity of regarding little matters." Mr. Wickham's attention was caught; and after observing Mr. Collins for a few moments, he asked Elizabeth in a low voice whether her relation was very intimately acquainted with the family of de Bourgh.
