periences; Thorn
The following is a deseriptigit of life in
3erlin by ars Amerman woman who has
been in the German capital ever since the
beginning of the war and who has recently
arrived in Switzerland. She has had ex-
ceptional opportunities of observing con-
ditions there as she was living with a
woman relative, who is the wife of a Ger-
man. Her story tells just bow the plain
German people are effected by the econ-
omic pressure of the Allies -now greatly
increased by the measuree taken since the
entry of America into the war.
My little daily round lay mostly in my
'quarter and my duties led me to provision
shops almost exclusively. The game was
to beat up anything eatable in a given
Lime, Tlie stapes we played for were
high, The first prize was the smile on
the children's faces when you brought out
a stale package of Quaker Oats or a weaz-
ened apple. There were always things to
be had, but it took the scent of a hound
to find them and the purse of a Rothschild
to pay for thein when one had traced them
down. When the children had the meas-
les I could emelt an orange from the Zoo
to the Alexanderplatz. When their temp-
erature went up the doctor said we should
feed them on orange juice if we could only
get it.
Most shops had ►10 oranges at all, All
had Iemons, but as no one had sugar that
would hardly do. Those who had them
gave only two at a time and at what a
price.
It was a sleety aay,one of the coldest of
all last winter. Rapid motion popping in
and
out of shops, had i kept me warm, but
by afternoon my feel began to flag and
still my large cloth shopping hag flapped
dismally on m y arm, with only a few
small oranges in the bottom. Eight
o'clock was closing time and I had nearly
covered my beat when I spied a shop as
yet unvisited, kept by a little woman who
looked as tired as I felt. She laid oranges
and not lapel else but a tiny heap of
turnips shrivelled and limp.
"I'm afraid you have not sold anything
all day, have you?" said I, "No" she said
in a patient voice. "My husband is at
the front and I have to be up at 3 o'clock
La fight my way through at the market.
I don't nL
seem to managewell, very, they
give inc what they like. To -day, 1 got
these oranges, but none of my customers
want to pay that price."
"Look here," said 1; ' my husband is at
the front too and I am as tired as you
My two little children are down with the
measles and I want some oranges. There
is nothing else they can eat! ' Her first
impulse was to give to me -but she also
thought of the law, only two at a time to
make things go as far as possible.
I sat and looked at her and she at mc.
Perhaps she pitied me, I certainly pitied
her. Suddenly she decided and filled my
bag quite full. "A dozen and a half
Madame, I could not give you more,
Perhaps another time, but you know I
could be punished for this."
Next day I got another dozen and we
pulled the children through the .measles.
And how these oranges served their
turn. The juice was given to the children
d the rinds were sliced, with some car-
tsoand a good share of lemon. This

were as scarce as wheat and their, flour
