One of tne pest ways of using up odd skeins of wool is to take advantage of the multi-coloured mood of the moment and turn them into children's Sweaters, Up to sizes for ten or eleven these do not take up a great deal of wool, and any number of colours can be used in them if certain forms are observed, One way to do this is to buy some natural coloured wool and use it so that it seems the background to all the colours used. There are rather bright blues which may also be used as background, If One thinks of the background to woolwork it will be seen how many colours can be worked against this, All the colours used should be put together closely in the plain-and-purl part of the sweater, Then they can be used, preferably in the same Order, in the upper part at about double the width apart. Where all the colours are really good they can be used successfully against each had annexed the two provinces—and to the harsh voice, with its border accent blurred by tears, repeating over and over the litany, "They shall pay. madame; one day they shall pay for the blood they have shed." And that bitter phrase she had made her own after her son, the young Vicomte, fell in the carnage round Verdun.
It is these memories which have helped her to steel herself to face the third German war within a lifetime, which mould the determination to live until Germany shall once, and she hopes for all time, be rendered incapable of again wrecking the peace of the French people, Meanwhile she bends every nerve to contributing "means for the successful prosecution of the war."
The spirit in which she is living can be summed up in the sentence which she has copied out, in her precise, old-fashioned script, on to a fair white card pinned up in the petit salon where the daily working parties meet—the famous words of Jeanne d'art: "Il faut combat tre avec bon courage—et gai visage."
