Show Belgian Women Hard Workers. In Belgium horses often cost more than the peasantry can afford, nnd so many of the women .often trudge miles with one heavy basket slung over their shoulders, another on their arm, and a third balanced perfectly on their heads. They tramp along In the glaring heat until they reach the r-elghborlng market. Thpy they find no time to rest. They empty their baskets, never thinking that in carrying car-rying such a load they have performed' perform-ed' a hard day's work, so eager are they to sell their flowers, fruits, nnd vegetables. After vending their wares all day they return with three empty baskets, one strapped to tho back, another on tho head, nnd the third on their arms. |
