A Typical Case.
In dingy three-room fiat, with
dirt and cobwebs almost concealing
four little children sobbed out her
story to the Associated Charities Wis
itor.,
Her husband was not supporting
her and was treating her unkindiy.
Her sister had helped to keep the
family from starvation for several
weeks. but would do no more. and the
little ones were crying for food The
woman looked forward to the com
ing of her baby with anxiety ana
dread. No one to leave. her children
with, no food or, coal in the house,
and husband who abused his fam
lily and did net support it.
This was year ago.
The Associated Charities urged
relatives to look after the children
for confinement. The visitor inter-
viewed the man, who admitted ms
blame. but said he had become dis
cOuraged trying to make a salary OF
sixteen dollars week pay rent OF
eighteen dollars month and buy
clothes, food and fuel. The rent was
three months overdue. He was be-
hind in his~insurance. He owed in
stallments on the furniture. and now
he was determined to desert his little
family because he could not make his
salary stretch over all his expenses
trouble.
The family had never kept any
track of expenses and he had finally
become so discouraged that he saw
no use in bringing home even the
small amount which he did earn.
Great Change in Home.
The relatives. who had been bitter
against the man, and thought he was
lazy and did not wish to support his
family, decided to give him another
chance. Work was found to supple
ment his regular job. A budget sys-
TEN was carefully worked out. and
the woman who had lost her faith in
after one year, the couple is very
happy. The fiat has been fixed up and
is kept scrupulously clean. All debts
are paid, and the mans faith in him
self has been restored.
1t does not take long to tell the
story. but it took careful planning
and much patient endeavor on the
part of the social worker to restore
the morale of this discouraged family
and to make it's members independent
again. 1t is this sort of family rehabil-
itation work for whose maintenance the
Associated Charities is asking a wider
and more general support. Contribu-
tions may be sent either to the Office
