Qno complained that the meat she received was not the right kind, and on being asked to explain herself, said the butcher had sent her a shin of beef. “What did you do ivith it'r” was asked. “Indeed,” was the reply, “ I threw it out into the garden, as I could not do anything with it.” The same “ lady ” was dressed far bettor than many of the wives of men who arc receiving regular wages, and not only this, but she could afford (though unable according to her own account, to buy food) to go to Te Aroha for a fortnight’s trip for the benefit of her health. In another case a woman asked a friend to “ take a cup of tea with her.” When the guest arrived she was astonished to observe that the lady who was receiving rations, had a “ spread ” fit for a king. On the table were tea, coffee, conversation lollies, buns, tarts, bread and butter, cake, two bottles of sherry, and a decanter of brandy. Not content with the ordinary del'f or china cups and saucers, plates, <fcc , the lollies, add !f'was' alrpost' forgettin.g ill? almonds and raisins, w-evo contained in two cut-glass dishes. Yet this woman was supplied with rations by the Charitable Aid Board.
