THE PEA SHELLERS Shelling peas for the family dinner is a tedious and finger-soiling job, but imagine taking up the work as a profession! In Coveut Garden there are women who can shell eight quarts in an hour, and their work is done early in the iftorning when London is asleep. The shelled peas are bought up by the London hotels and big restaurants, thereby saving time that would havo to be spent by their own staffs. The peas start to come in from overseas to Covent Garden in January—from Algeria, Italy and France, and the English peas come last of all. In the autumn, these same women go to the hop fields in Kent, and, when all the hops are picked, they can find work in London warehouses sorting seeds, until the pea-shelling season starts again.
