At night she helped her mother and younger broth- ers and sister with home work. Toward the end of the year Mamie, the child next in age, became fourteen and went to work at once, also in a flower factory at $5. 00 a week. The oldest boy, aged eleven, during the last three months of the year ran errands after school for $1 . 00 a week. For the major part of that year, therefore, the family had been dependent for support on home work and on the earnings of sixteen-year-old Carolina. For twenty-o...ne weeks no home work was to be had on account of slack season. Carolina was on the pay- roll of her shop the entire year, but on account of part time over a considerable dull period during which she worked only two to four days a week, she lost the equivalent of nearly six weeks' earnings. In addition, two days' pay for legal holidays and three days' during a shut-down because of a fire at the factory, was lost. Her wage at the beginning of the year was $4. 50 a week, which was raised to $5. 00 during the course of the year.
