Uphilé too! The one with the rope round her shoulders is Mrs. Urch. They have just secretly exchanged a nickel bedstead with a peasant for this bit of, wood. Only Bolsheviks and their officials are allow- ed to have any! We pass many deserted shops, their window-panes pierced with bullet holes, broken and patched. Is that a boot shop? Yes, but where is your ticket? A ticket to buy boots? you ask amazed. Yes- You can't buy anything without a ticket. To our house of three hundred people, living in flats, seven boot tickets were issued, to buy one pair of boots a year. We drew lots for them, and the unlucky ones had to buy secretly from speculators at huge prices At the street corner is i a little girl with an expression of pathos and despair beyond her years.
