"Dinner was the great meal of the
day. For ten cents l had meat. pota-
toes, coffee and bread and butter;
sometimes invested five cents more
and had pie. The next night L ate FIVE
cent hash TO even up.
AT one time it became necessary for
me to replenish my wardrobe. need
ed some new linen. This, including
shirt, collar and cuffs, cost me is cents.
A pair of shoes became q necessity and
I visited one of the little underground
shoe stores kept by an italian. / ex-
planned my wants and he handed me a
pair of shoes
~'How much?' 1 asked.
"'Putta on was the reply.
81 put them on and the italian made
the price $3.50.
"'Fifty cents said /. With a most
agonizing look the Italian emphatical-
~ declared that he could not sell them
at that price.
AS was about TO take them off he
offered compromise and the second
hand shoes became mine at a cost of
20 cents.

It had started out with ten dollars
and top coat worth $50. At the lat
ter end of my life on the Bowery, I
pawned the coat for two dollars. So
after my five weeks experience I still
had 62 cents left as pocket money when
j secured my present position.
@'Of course some can and do live
