were well informed, has been making silk for
thirty years. And Mormon girls have come
to the Worlds Fair to show how 1t is done.
One OF them feeds mulberry leaves to hum
dreds OF worms on u large tray. Another
reels upon spools the silk from the cocoons.

grow in this garden Low tables occupy the
center OF the room, and little beds, complete
| in all details are put upon them. At the
signal the little girls leave their chairs and go
through the performance OF bedmaking, two
to bed. They turn and punch tho mat
tresses. They spread the sheets with the
hem the right way. They put on the blank
cts and the spreads. They 'tuck in" the
covers so that the lines are straight and not
n wrinkle can be seen. Then they put ON the
pillow-slips and arrange the shams. Out of
confusion these little maids create bed that
is restful to look upon. Sweeping and scrub

small tubs follow. The children think it is
