bfned in incidents of settlement work.
A Philadelphia worker tells Of a fam
lily living In the slums whom she per-
suaded to use ice. They objected that
they could not afford the expense.
but she was insistent and they bought
some. Then they realized that they
had no ice chest to keep 1t in. and
they rented one for a small fee. But
this expense was so great q drain ON
tho family's that ice could
not be bought to all 1t. The chest
was proudly displayed on q table In
the center Of the living room. a. Q
priced ornament. Eventually free ice
was obtained for the happy household.
