ing car. Carrie" she shrilled, "are
you sure they're still in bed?"
"Yas'm," came the muffied answer
from behind her.
But the young woman shifted down
the opening. "That's my cigarette
smoke!" she cried. "And my last
box was gone when I woke up!
Whatever am going to do with
those children?"
Later the two women became
neighborly and talked the matter
over. The mother said she couldn't
give up her smoking. She just
couldn't. The best the older woman
could do was get her to promise not
to let the boys see her smoke.
So now she keeps her cigarettes
hidden and smokes in her room, with
the door locked. But the little boys
can lie on the floor outside and smell
the smoke under the crack.
She doesn't understand what so
many mothers refuse to accept--that
being mother entails sacrifice of
all personal vanities, faults and
vices. And she still whips those kid
dies for smoking.

You Can't Move and You Can't
Stay-If You Haven't the Price

The tenants Of these tenements
have no alternative but to submit
and pay the excessive rentals. They
cannot move because, in the first
place, it would be difficult to find a
cheaper rent and, in the second
place, they can never get enough
money together all at once to pay
the expenses of moving and give
the new landlord a months rent in
advance. An intelligent Italian
with whom talked and whose rent
had been raised from SO to $13 a
month told me that he had had an
idea Of moving out into the country
and had gone on a friends motor
cycle in search of a place, only to
discover that the rents in the coun-
try had increased just as much as
those in the city, and he had given
up in despair and decided to stay
in his present tenement and take
another family in to help pay the
rent. AS he had five children and

borhood settlements, civic clubs and

necessary statistics. In New York
City between twenty and thirty or
ganizations have been called upon
to investigate conditions Of one
block in their districts which
they consider typical. For example,
the Kips Bay Neighborhood Asso-
