New York Ommercial-Advertiser.
How is the lonely British soldier amusing
herself in the South African blockhouse?
A writer in the Navy and Army surmises
that in nearly every blockhouse would be
found a sewing machine. above all
things, Tommy's heart loves a sewing ma
chine. Although he must know that he
can never succeed in getting it home to
England, yet If he finds one on a farm he
will tow it along with him, overburdened as
he already is, upon the march Wherein
the exact fascination lies is a mystery
but grizzled reservist and callow recruit
alike cannot resist this housewives help"
There is a Quaintness in the idea of the
warrior amusing himself with the mys-
teries of the sewing machine in his melan-
choly loneliness. But he that sews in tears
will doubtless reap in joy.
