One fiat in the big building was to
let. For the first time in the history
Of the building there had been an evic-
ton. The other tenants had hardly
recovered from this shock to their
pride when something happened to
drive from their heads all thought of
the humiliation attendant on actually
living In building which had been
contaminated by the presence of a
man and his wife who did not have
the price to pay for their rooms. A
young man and young woman came
to look at the vacant apartment. The
young man was about twenty-five
