SHE IS MAKING a pair for each of the girls, to save their shoes while they are at work, and with chisel, hammer, spokeshave and vice, she can now make one pair each evening in her off-duty hours. Sandal making, however, is by no means her only present achievement in wood work, and her cabi netmaking includes inlaid tables, auto trays, cigarette boxes with mysterious lids, and nests of tea
