was lacking. She had lost the stocking

heart An accommodating elevator boy
finally found the lost article, and Miss
Aldus Joined a group of Canadians in
the solarium of the Traymore.
Imagine a group of pretty young girls,
dressed in the very height of fashion, knit
ting woolen socks, the kind that grand
mother used TO concoct as they sat beside
the fireplace AS one energetic girl put It;
"Anybody can knit scarf; but 1t takes
real skill to fashion sock"
The girls are becoming adept at this
sort of thing and exhibit their work with
considerable pride II would be interest

are used I'm a day at Atlantic city, for

the soldiers for themselves.
