There was always laughter at Hull House

Still, there was always laughter at Hull House. There was music,  theatre,  the food was always fresh, good, simple, prepared by people who loved us. We ate together at a big long table after our work. With the new government men from Labor, we sent to Washington all the information, where people came from, how much they earned, about our neighborhood: One of the Slums of the Great Cities in the United States in the 1890s.
