Powles, 1; Miss P. Duncan, 2. Most humorous school girl: Miss McDonald, 1; Mrs. Beaidon, 2. Best school boy: Mr. Griffin, 1; Mr. Bruce Clarke, 2.

"Babbit wools for caps and scarves and a new shower-proof wool for outer garments are among the outstanding types of knitting materials in demand," states a London, writer. The manageress of the knitting and embroidery department of a West-End store said: "The. modern girl is as clever with her knitting needles as her mother was, and she knits' quickly. A year ago I had few young women Customers. Most of the knitters seemed then to be elderly women. To-day the situation is the reverse. I think the? introduction of the little knitted caps started the young girls knitting."
