been enthusiastically praised by the
men. They are said to outwear three
pairs OF socks knitted in the other STYLE.
rhe sock is the invention OF Australian
women and has been introduced to
Washington by the local branch Of the
British American war relief fund Of
which Miss Helen Ernst is chairman.
Many prominent women are now learn
ing to make the spirals. Miss Charlotte

/ knit two socks at once and IS acting
as instructor for other enthusiasts. The
Red Cross is preparing TO issue instruc.
lions for knitting the new style socks.
