In th e first place we k1~0\\. she isn't an ordinary woman or she wouldn't be willing to -be called so. iu the second place we know she isn't or no publisher would be willing to publish her story. So here in the beginning is a challenge. \Vh en we start readin g, we find it is as we thought, Anne Ellis is no ordinary woman. The person who, cooking for a telephone . construction gang, keeps a volume of "Hamlet" open beside her, who puts flowers on the table. and. \\·cars a bunch of wildflO\\·ers herself, is not an ordinary woman. Nor has her life been at all ordinary. Her childhood was spent in pioneer mining camps where starvation was onlv one of the minor hazards run by the iarge family of children. Anne Ellis has the gift of telling things amusingly. She has also remembered and is not afraid to t ell the sma ll things most of us would have probably wanted to forget. For in stance when she takes an unconventional hut quite innocent trip to the city with a young man and is taken to a hotel for the first time, she sees no need of the hall light burni,ng all night o goes and blows it out. lt is gas, so ~oon there is a strong odor and a large commotion outside her door. She hears 1 it, hut says it is one of the few times she has e ,·er been able to hold her tongue. She could not be so discreet \\'hen she had a failure with the jelly I roll she was making. fed it to the cow and the cow died of it. ~ The whole bopk is full of amusing a(h·enttJres which could only have come to a girt living in such precarious and primitirc circumstances. It is a picture of a ' life foreign to anything mo:-.t of us have ever known. of an rra \\·hch is almost gone and of a per' son wth <~uite an extraordinar\" amount nf humor, courage, and re~l)Urccinl ne ss.
