MENDING SOLDIERS' SOCKS
A CANTERBURY SUGGESTION. The following suggestion 'has been made by a Canterbury lady, who, like everyone else who has been busily engaged in knitting for the soldiers, is greatly disturbed by the present scarcity of wool for knitting purposes:— "We knitters in Canterbury have read with regret the report of a lady who visited Trentbam and saw hundreds of good socks lying useless for want of mending. She suggests in the Christcluirch 'Press' tbat they should be sent to knitters who would re-foot them and so save wool if they are past mending—a sensible idea, considering the present scarcity of fingering wools. But do not you think that there must he ladies in Wellington who would form a sdciety for going regularly to Trenfcham to mend the men's socks and other clothes, and also to tench them bow to do it themselves? This was done by a few ladies for the Christchurch camp during the Boer war. and their help~was greatly valued by officers and mon. Trusting that you will find space for m.v suggestion, and thanking v'oit in anticipation.—l am. etc.. A CANTERBURY KNITTER.
