 would be the only means by which sane man would think of suggest. ing to any woman of the Douglas Treadwell chapter of the Red Cross that she is not as adept at knitting with coarse yarn as was her grand mother, while, when 1t comes to tat ting or doing lace work. she would probably have the senior person faded to a frazzle. But the fact re- mains that, while considerable yarn has been issued. the finished pro ducts are very slow in coming back 80 slow, indeed, that winter which is now lurking in the Offin, will be upon the army in France before many comforters supposed, when completed. to be five feet long, have attained a growth of even foot. Lazy? Not much. It is just that our women folk have so ail-fired much to do that 1t seems impOssi- ble for them to settle down to knit ting. It has been suggested that the situation might be relieved by the menfolk taking up the house. hold duties while the women knit, but the suggestion Is not taking readily so about the only remedy for conditions as they now exisf Is for the women to get up earlier in the morning and stay up later at night.
