them shelter, but were unable to sup
port them. They had little clothing and
not sufficient food, and slept upon
bare floor. The father said he could not
support 1.-TWO head" of children and Of
fered to give them to us. We brought
them, just as they We're, to the Con-
necticut Children's Aid society, which
received them, and within three weeks
found permanent homes for both OF
them.
Complaint was made of mother for
neglecting her children. The father
abandoned the family several years be-
fore, and his whereabouts were UNI
known. Two grown sons and mar
ried daughter of nineteen has gone
from home. The rest of the family,
consisting of a predetermined girl OF
sixteen, three boys, fourteen, nine and
seven, and a en-months- baby. liv-
ed in tumble-down house in the
woods and suffered for the common
necessaries of life. The town allowed
the family 50 per week and gave them
the use of the house. For years this
place had been the resort of bad peo-
pie The family, with the exception of
the mother, slept on the floor, and at
the time of our visit there was no food
in the house. A home was found Tor
the girl, and the oldest boy was adopt
ed into good family; the other boys
We're committed to the county home,
and the woman and baby were taken
in charge by the town officials.
