A Very United Family.

The value attached by the poor, ami
even by those who arc not in the depths
OF poverty, to decent surroundings in
family life is very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded as one of the primo
necessaries of life. Occasionally it is
RELOCATED to quite Il back seat.
An instance was given before the
commission Of family of seven per-
sons-fathor, mother two grown up sons
and three grown up daughters-all liv-
ing III one room. With them this ar
rangcment WAS IL matter Of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 81 u week, more than $3.50 a
year, and even from slum landlord
they could 10 doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two. Having
screwed down the item of rent to an
lrrcdncible minimum, they determined
to have il thoroughly good time, and this
is how the witness describes their pro-
cccdings: ''In the evening they would
all 80 cut to the music halls and to TIE
theaters. On Saturday afternoon tha7
would take five tickets each for some
omnibus OF conveyance that was going
