see inside an American family, a Vir-
GINA family. A girl of eighteen is
washing the faces and hands OF a
little brother and sister, making them
ready for bed. A red tablecloth COW
crs a round table in the center Of the
room and an oil lamp burning there
lights the center of the room and
leaves the corners in uncertain shad-
ows An hour ago the big family had
gathered about this table for dinner,
but the crumbs have been brushed
r.way and the chairs liked neatly
against the wall. Two girls, fifteen
and sixteen, are knitting gill net.
They fasten their threads to the
chair board and begin drawing the
fine, strong thread over their little
fingers. st every stitch or two, they
move their chairs nearer to each
other. A boy of twelve is watching
them and he knows just what will
happen. The chairs will finally meet,
as the net forms, and the thin sharp
thread will cut the little fingers OF
the two sisters. The gillnet sells
for a dollar a pound and in those
days, just after the Civil War, a
dollar bought dinner. The mother
is rocking the baby to sleep and last
years baby is in his cradle. A man
comes into the room wrapped warmly
in wooden stockings ard a heavy
homespun coat. A wooden scarf is
about his neck. He bids them all
cherry goodnight and goes out
into the snowy night. He is rounds
man.
This is the solidity of the American
family.
