Knitting Bag Useful
And Is Easily Made

Here is a very simple but useful bag
or case for holding knitting. The size
must, of course, be determined by the
size of the work, and things it is to
hold, whether n large shawl or sorle
such thing or just a pair of socks or
stockings with ordinary steel needles.
1t is made from linen of some pretty
color, and for such work rs socks the
piece should measure thirteen inches IN
depth and eleven in breadth; 1t is turned
uD five inches at one end TO form a
pocket for the work and pins: the o-her
end is embroidered and buttoned over
by four buttons: a slide is made at each
end about an inch and half from tie
edge, through which a ribbon Is run
and tied in g. bow to keen the pins from
coming out: two bands OF embroidered
linen are sewn on to form handles.

Long, long ago, oh. where was 1?
A nameless atom in the sky:
Who took and gently fashioned me?
My mother.
Who suffered and endured and gave
Her strength that l might viGor haze
If needs be in her life's blood lave?
My mother.
Who was it used TO care for me,
Guard and watch me tenderly,
Love me every night and day?
My mother.
Who used to tuck the the covers round
Ny head when snow was on the ground.
When blew the wind with fearful sound?
My mother.

t Of Mrs Claire Rreen.
When I did into manhood grow,
Prepared to suffer veal or woe,
Who used to shield by every blow?
My mother.
Who was my friend when others turned
Their backs and my acquaintance
spurned,
And who was she for whom 1 yearned ?
My mother.
Thank God that in life's soulless race
There is for me one shining face,
Filled with a calm and holy grace
That nears me hover.
II every man in every land
Might hold tonight his mothers hand
The earth would in perennial stand
And owe its bliss to mothers.
