A LITTLE RED CROSS WORKER
I'm awful busy working for
The soldier men in France,
l mean to make them lot of things
If once l get the chance.
I've made already one face cloth,
And knitted it myself;
But daddy used it by mistake
Twas lying on the shelf.
And | started on a sweater
l would of got it done,
But Ethel May showed me her scarf,
And then l started one.
It's brown and very warm and nice;
I'm proud as l can be,
My auntie came to see us,
And she finished it for me.
I've started wristlets and a cap
Some wooden stockings too
l think it's very INTERESTING
To start off things-don't you?
From st. Nicholas.
