Ladies in Palmerston North, in common with those of other parts of the Dominion, are thoroughly enjoying the knitting boom, which, as in war time, extends to all places of entertainment, excepting tho unlighted picture theatres. The diversion is salutary, and fto doubt contributes to peace of mind in times of stress. A correspondent of the Manawatu Times, however, deplores the fact that the knitting needles seem to require the accompaniment of a quick moving tongue, much to the discomfiture of hundreds of people who go to entertainments to listen to music, song and story, not to chatter oi thoughtless ones.
