97. CHILDLESS.

I have had four children, and all were born one year and a half after

each other. My two eldest died in one week from whooping-cough, age

five and three. Two of my children were still-born. I was very young at

the time, and only wish this Maternity Scheme had come out years ago. I

have a good husband, but we are childless, I am sorry to say. I am on

many committees, and take a great interest where children are concerned.

_Wages 18s. to 27s.; two children, two still-births, one miscarriage._
