Mr. E., whose house was visited from June, 1910, to October, 1912, was a painter’s labourer, who never would tell his wife what he made. She had 22s. a week in summer-time, and what he could give her in winter; never less than 20s. when in work. The eldest girl had just got into a soda-water factory, and was allowing 4s. a week. Owing to a period of almost entire unemployment in the previous winter £3 4s. was still owing for rent when the visits began. There were seven children alive, three dead. One son had left home.
