THE FASHION OF KNITTING

Everywhere-at public meetings, in
homes, even in class rooms-women
may be seen knitting. They are max
ing sweaters, wristlets and socks for
the soldiers.
There are many advantages to this
fashion of knitting. It permits women
with only a few moments to spare to
do something for the men in service,
and it gives the women happiness to
feel that they are doing something to
help.
II Is also a great pleasure to the
soldiers to know that sympathetic and
loving hands wove the garments that
they wear. It means much more TO
the men than II the garments were
factory made.
Then, too, much expense is taken on
the Government because of this fash
ion OF knitting. Knitted articles rep
resent large sums of money, and if the
Government had to buy them all, the
tax would be that much heavier on the
people later. As 1t is now. the labor
is saved, and SO the garments cost
good deal less than II they were fac
tory made. And the finished product
Is Just as good.
