A Needle Surprise
Dear Aunt Daisy, In common with most of your listeners, I am now very short of nice fine needles; so to-day I decided to turn out my pincushion (which I have used for over thirty years) knowing that it must contain many needles. Imagine our amusement and joy to find two hundred needles of various sizes, from some as fine as machine silk to ordinary darning needles! As I had filled the cushion with dry bran, the needles were not at all rusty. I thought many other listeners might be in need of fine needles, these having become scarce during these war years; and so might be interested in our surprise packet--A Link in the Daisy Chain, Wellington.
