GIRL'S PAIR O1' MITTENS.
Story That Many Another }}Might
Equally Tell.
Ottawa, Feb. 17.—The tale of a
ateairisof mitten% knitted bya pair of
'tartan- but. eager' )rands•"is told"in::a
letter' received here from the battle-
front in France. The mittens were
knitted by Elaine Torsade, ,a little
French-Canadian girl in Montreal,
who sent them to to Major-General
Sam Hugh -es, with the request that
they he sent to some one who need-
ed them in the trenches at the
front. The address of the maker
was, however, not given. General
Hughes gave the mittens to Captain
Dnmont, who in turn sent them to
General Legranne of the French
army. A letter received by General
Hughes states that the mittens were
given to a French soldier, and that
they have probably saved his hands
on many occasions from the cold
and snow of the trenches. It is hard
to say through what adventures and
scenes of horror the mittens made
by the little Frendh-Canadian girl
have passed.
