But there's more to life than work. The people of the working classes also had to deal with the aspects of everyday life that affect all people everywhere, such as food, shelter, clothing, and family. |

And they got to have fun. They went to cafes, and even went out to the theater and the opera. |

They even had special occasions That's right. The working class had holidays, and marriages, and births, and deaths. |
