This means that Kit has to move into the attic, so that her family can rent her room to boarders. She also has to start wearing dresses made from feed sacks to help her family save money. The lack of jobs has Kit worried that her father may have to travel very far away to find a job. Kit Kittredge is very clever, and she works hard to help her family.
