While Mrs. Makino, a young bride of six months, looks on, Mrs. Hirata demonstrates a particular technique of the electric sewing machine. Mrs. Katagiri is crocheting a tablecloth, while Mrs. Kadoyama cuts out a dress pattern. Both Mrs. Katagiri and Mrs. Hirata are issei who have found that relocation in the Chicago area has pointed the way to new homes and a new life outside the relocation centers.
