Description DINNER-TIME IN ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE, LONDON. The law of England, in some respects the most communistic in the world, has long ordained that to no man or woman shall be denied the prime necessities of food and shelter; but still, though every English man and woman is entitled to relief at the public expense, such relief can only be obtained on terms. To enter the Workhouse is justly regarded by any man or woman still capable of work as a stigma ; but for those who can no longer work public opinion has a gentler judgment. We here see the female inmates of one of the great London Workhouses at their mid-day meal. It cannot be said that the refuge which is offered them at the public expense is luxurious or attractive; but for many of the inmates it serves as their only home for long years, and in that home they pass away from the troubles of this world. The management of the London Workhouses—at one time a scandal—is now very greatly improved.
