Rogers, the book-keeper for the past twenty-two years of my friend
Patterson, the banker, told me the other day that he had reared a
family of two boys and three girls on his annual salary of two thousand
two hundred dollars; that he had put one of the boys through college,
one through the School of Mines, brought up one of the girls to be a
librarian, given one a coming-out party and a trousseau, and that the
remaining daughter, a home body, was likely to be the domestic sunshine
of his own and his wife’s old age. All this on two thousand two hundred
dollars a year.
