! Mrs. F. c. Fox, of New York, for
| merly of Topeka, ana author of the
clever Nels Yingle rhymes that used
! to appear in the State Journal, has
written me, in verse, in line with a
prosy sort of preachment recently
| published in this column, on the sub
! ject of men taking up the knitting
fad. She says:
Please tell 1.-THE Woman in Our Town"
That New York men are knitting:
/ They do not sit and hold their hands
! While precious time is fitting.
7 The high school boys have learned to knit
And older men of leisure
| Sit calmly by the fire and knit
Instead of seeking pleasure.
The pocket of the smaller boy
Has balls of knitting in it,
The firemen knit for soldiers kit
| In every leisure minute.
So be they young or be they old,
] They do not mind the tea sing.
/ For If they fear some fellows jeer,
Some Sammy may be freezing.
Our Kansas men could knit 1 know.
But say l am not joking.
/ I'd rather see them by the fire
A reading and a smoking.
