AT TEST MATCH
CRICKET “GRASS-WIDOWS LONDON, 19th June. Two of the strangest grass-widows in England sat side by side at Trent Bridge cricket ground recently. The two wives were watching their husbands facing the English bowling in the Test match with South Africa. Mrs Cameron and Mrs Siedle, until the tour ends in September, must not stay at the same hotel as their husbands, and, sometimes, must even stay in another town.
They must he content to watch their husbands from the boundaries of the cricket grounds and speak to them only during the intervals between play. The two wives are inseparable, and believe that their presence encourages their husbands. 'Mrs Siedle says: “We sire not cavilling at the ban which obviously is th e only possible arrangement, but tlie cricket intervals are so short.” Mrs Cameron says: “I get very lonely when I have spent all my money on dresses and oilier things.”
