- (continued from previous page)their days work just as a shopkeeper would in his business. Some of those hawkers are very nice people and more very displeasing but as a rule the most of them are nice kind hearted people. It is often very convenient to a poor woman in the country or to a farmer's wife to have those hawkers visit them as they require needles and thread etc. to mend the clothes and darn the stockings. Those poor people going around often meet with a hospitable reception in the country, they often get their dinner and tea if it was going on when they go in and they return home at night with a light heart full of merriment and cheer and nothing the worse of their days travel.
