Summary

Illustration shows a vignette cartoon that shows an effeminate Santa Claus standing in front of a fireplace where stockings are hanging, his bag of toys on the floor nearby; he considers taking the stockings "for the Belgians". The surrounding vignettes show various scenes depicting the "knitting craze"; a chess player knits while waiting for his opponent to make a move; a society woman knits while walking the dog, a servant follows carrying the yarn on a tray; a man knits while sitting in the bathtub, the only free time he has; passengers and a conductor knit while riding on a streetcar; a boxer drops a stitch when caught off guard by the gong; and a drunkard tells his wife "No, my dear, I wash tnitting at the tlub."

Illus. in: Puck, v. 76, no. 1973 (1914 December 26), centerfold.
