A HOMELESS FAMILY.

PUBLIC SYMPATHY SHOWN. FREE QUARTERS PROVIDED, [BY telegraph.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. J' WELLINGTON. • Saturday. Thanks to the generous response of the public the homeless Taylor family will now be reunited under' a proper roof: It will be remembered that the' Taylors who have a family of nine being, unable to procure a -house had taken up their abode in a camp in the bush along the Hutt Road. From this they were under notice to quit and until their plight was made known in the press they were at a loss where to go, the large family seeming to be an insurmountable difficulty in the way of renting a home. Many offers of help have been received on their behalf and to-day the family is moving into three large rooms which have been placed at their disposal -at Island Bay. The mother will now be able to ; have again under her carq her three youngest children who have temporarily been in charge of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. Real generosity is revealed in the offer of these rooms to tho homeless family. The lady to whom they belong gladly offered them free when she read of their distress but the firm for whom she works hearing of the matter offered to pay half the rent which she Would have received had she let the rooms in the ordinary course of business. Several gifts of money to tide the family over their present difficulties have been received.
