By EVA NRALON HAMILTON Huddled together In an old tent on th aouth aid of town, while the montn of December progresses, a young mother and her two Uttl boys are trying to keep warm. As fog set tles over the city, blurring holloUy oolored lights and bringing promise of winter festivities to many, they shiver In the cold and dampnaat, which penetrate their canvas. They wer found In their very humble habitat last week by a group of Parent-Teacher workera, who are en deavoring to Improve their living quarters before the arrival of Christ mas, that the two little boys may " llev again that "there la a Santa Claus." . Kettles for th mother to us n cooking, some food, a broom to sweep the dingy carpet, which Toots the tent: a quilt, a pillow to ease their sleep Insplte of winter lnds and some olothea were taken to the family Friday. The mother, In voicing her thanka, explained that ehe did not have to have the things, that she waa "gottlng along." but that she was very grate ful. Two beds crowded together In the tent were covered with a few torn quilts, which formed a futile barrier to stormy weather. A worn out stove In a corner was sighing as a small flamo played about wet wood, more of which la stored outside the tent. But the mother In suited she was getting by. "I have plenty of potatoes." she stated. But when questioned about the ohlldren she admitted they were getting little milk, no meat, prior to th previous day, when a woman called with some, no butter, no sweets. Asked for an explanation of her circumstances, she said that her hus band, a soldier In the United States army, had beaten her until ah had to leavo him, had refused to auppott her; and had left for another state, taking with him their little daugh ter, aged five. The two boys, ageri nine and seven, who are small for thlr years, ar re ceiving a hot lunch each day at the Washington school, but are badly In need of warm clothing. The thing most needed at the pres ent time, however, local women who have atarted the move to aid the family, stated yesterday, Is some lum ber to build a decent house for the three. Local men have volunteered to build a small house If some one will donate some lumber.. If the lum ber cannotrbe obtained another tent to cover the wood supply will be wel comed. Anyone with something to give Is asked to notiry the Mail Trib une. Anyone with possible donations of meat Is also asked to got In touch with the Mail Tribune, where the workers, who ' prefer to remain un known, will be notified. The mother stated yesterday that she was anxious to regain custody of he.- little daughter, feeling that, what ever her circumstances, she should keep her threo ohlldren together. She voiced her desire, however, In a futile tone, which expressed a complete In ability to do anything about It.
