Henry, while not yet fully awakened to the seriousness of the occasion, receives a letter from the Red Cross presenting their side of the question and asking for help. A visit to one of the busy branches of the society serves as a further inspiration and Henry returns home determined that his household shall do its bit. He buys yarn and knitting needles and, with Mandy, the colored cook's aid, gets Polly under way on a sweater. Polly's friends also get a surprise when she invites them to spend the afternoon with her and provides them each with the necessary material and implements for the creation of a sweater. Henry makes the discovery that a man can also do his bit for the Red Cross by turning the crank of a knitting machine. The result is that his friends are enlisted in the cause and that a large addition to the stock of socks for the soldiers is expected. Written by Moving Picture World, February 16, 1918 See less
