SUMMER KNITTING.
[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR.")
SIR,—In answer to countless letters on the question of what comforts to make for the men during the summer, can you find me room to state, on behalf of Sir Edward Ward, Director- General of Voluntary Organizations, that last year we over- estimated the interval between the last cold night of spring and the first chills of autumn, and that a vast store of sweaters, mufflers, helmets, mittens, and socks will be wanted by August 1st? These should be sent, when the time draws near, either to the D.G.V.O.'s Depot, 45 Horseferry Road, S.W. 1, or to me as below. Easily knitted patterns of any of the above can be had free on application, but as the correspondence is necessarily heavy, a few stamps occasionally will be acceptable. On behalf of the men I have to thank your readers very gratefully for over thirty-eight thousand sweaters and thirty-four thousand supple- Snentary comforts already sent me.—I am, Sir, &c.,
Jolly PENOTRE.
8 King's Bench Walk, Inner Temple, E.C.
