of the rooms to other people.
l remember that my mother, my little broth
er and myself had to sleep in one room. There
was no place for any of US elsewhere. Yet,
despite all these discomforts, and all the sac
rifces we made the new house and the new
arrangement did not pay any better than had
our house in Allegheny
In theory it showed excellent profits, but in
practice there was the difficulty of collecting
the rents, and l just remember that after
little while we had more trouble, and that the
end Of it was the furniture had to be sold.
1t was then that very good friend of moth

whom we owed rent Mother had made up
her mind that she would leave Pittsburg and
go to Philadelphia. She was very artistic,
and she hoped to get position as a designer.
We were sent to an aunt, and afterwaTd to
a family which my mother had known IN Pitts
burg.
It is curious what shape memory takes of
events which are of such paramount impor-
tance and which are destined to play so great
a part in ones career.

upon taking with me to our new home. Every

poor pussy off. It was a weepy journey for
me. Finally we got to Philadelphia, and

was between thirteen and fourteen at the
time; Just old enough to take an intelligent
interest in my parents affairs. l do not re-
member exactly what idea I had as to our
future when l went to Philadelphia. 1t proba-
bly, was that my mother had already secured
an appointment, but I found that she was liV-
ing in one room in a small boarding house.
and that the position of designer, the securing
of which was to retrieve the family fortune, had
not yet materiazed.
Clever as she was in the making and plan
ming of clothes, the people who employed de-
signers wanted one who had practical expe
rience on the commercial side of the business
They wanted somebody who had been Paris,
who had studied and had at their finger tips
the latest mode, and poor mother, with all the
best intentions in the world, could not lay
claim to so large and varied an experience.

felt the pinch very acutey; moments, indeed,
when we did not get enough to eat.
The next move, l remember, was to my
grandmother's. We went and lived with her.
l think at that time we had no money what
ever, and my earliest recollections Of Pitts
burg are almost as painful my later recol-
lections
