"knits" For Our Soldiers.

1t Is not denied that proper ''knits' -

outfits Of sweaters, helmets, wristlets and
the rest--can be turned out even with
celluloid needles. But just think Of the
added brillIancy Of the result that should
follow when one works with needles de
luxe-sterhng silver, or gold plated Oh
gold mounted tortoise shell.
These varieties are available, here in
our own city, at prices from 81 so TO $40
the pair Fancy what priceless heirloons
such needles would weave from the wool.
And what the needles would be. Used
by Aunt Susie, knitting socks for SOL
diers way back in war times" They
would be treasured for generations.
However, We do not intend, in this
connection, TO urgently recommend the
use of costly knitting needles in the great
work Of providing comfort for our SOL
diers. Socks and other articles knitted
with good wool, from ordinary bone or
steel needles, will be all-suffcient and
will be welcomed by our soldier boys
abroad. But we all treasure heirlooms.
and especially knitting needles employed
for practical use during the great war in
which we arc now engaged, would be
highly priced in families years hence
