else, am sure. And we make all
kinds OF Ycheeses. The best imported
cheeses are made IN Cattaraugus county
/ every kind of imported cheese OF
course, good many imported cheeses
are made IN Chautauqua and Allegany
counties. but, oh my. they are hardly
worth thinking of by the side of ours.
What we most pride ourselves on is
English cheese Such slovely old En-
| glish dairy cheese as we do make. This
doesn't become old English dairy
cheese, though, until it is sent to En-
gland and then shipped back to this
country again. 1t is the same with our
| fine French, Swiss, German and other
imported cheeses. They are made in
Cattaraugus county. but they go over
to the places they get their names from
so they can be sent back to their native
| land genuinely imported. But, oh, myi
Perhaps l shouldn't tell this. But our
cheeses are so awfully good! Especially
our English dairy cheese. Why don't
you know, our best people up in Cat
taraugus county never think of buying
our own cheese until it goes to England
and is imported to New York Then
they send TO New York and buy En-
glish cheese, paying great deal more
for it than they could have bought it
for right at home. Ny, yesl We are
wrapped up SO much in English cheese
that we have grown to be quite En-
glish, up in Cattaraugus. Quite En-
glish.
well, of course there must be cheese
factories to make all of these cheeses,
and great many girls work in these
factories-the sweetest and freshest
and rprettiest girls! In Cattaraugus
county, mean. Perhaps it is the same
in Chautauqua and Allegany, but
never heard of it. You just ought to
know how sweet and fresh and pretty
these cheese factory girls in Cattar-
angus are! Well, once one of them
oh-h-h, my"
Charming confusion mingled for a
moment with the still deeper flush on
the face of the vivacious young woman
from Cattaraugus county, but only for
a moment.
sat least, have heard people say
that she was at that time, but my, she
has been married ever so long-nearly
six months-and, perhaps, they wouldn't
say so now! Well, anyhow, this girl
it'll do you no good to ask who she
was. You couldn't induce me to tell,
not for worldsI This girl worked in
one of the cheese factories. In Cattar-
angus county, remember. And what
do you suppose she did, one day? How
ever could she have done it? She
actually wrote her name and address on
a card, with her age-which was only
eighteen-and something about her
face and figure. o, it was so silly of
her! But it was only for lark, don't
you know? And then-the ridiculous
creature!-she wrote on the card, No
Lover Yet o, it was too utterly horrid
of her! 1t makes my face burn for her
whenever / think how utterly hcrrid
she must have beenr'
And the charming young woman's
face showed that the utter horridness
of the Cattaraugus county cheese factory
girl was heavy on her mind just then
$50, after she had made the card all
ready this awful girl placed it simply
in cheese that waSyo be shipped away
with lots and lots of other cheeses, and
by and by away it went. Now you
mustn't think that because this silly
thing wrote on that card that she had
no lovers yet; that she couldn't have
had one if she chose to, because she
could, and many one, too! The ideal
guess she could! But, you see, the
right one hadn't come yet. There was
one young man-but, oh, my! He was
out of the question. He didn't even
know she existed-she, little silly chit
of goose of girl that made cheeses,
and he rich and handsome and-well,
anyhow, silly as she was, she had sense
enough to put him out of her mind,
though l do believe to this day that she
kept some of him in her heart.
"Well weeks and weeks and weeks
went by after the foolish girls horrid
card had gone away buried in the
cheese, and the more she thought about
1t the more she grew ashamed of her
self for having done it. Night after
night she cried herself to sleep think
ing over 1.-THE silly thing! And she
got 10 DC 80 d"lul tHdt SnC WlSiicd auu
wished and wished that TIE car the
cheese went away in had run off the
track and smashed that cheese, or that
something else terrible had happened
to it. My. but she was desperate!
One day, six weeks after the card
had been Struggled away, it happened
that the richest family in the town
where this ridiculous girl lived found
that they were out of old English dairy
cheese. OF course, they had 70 send ts
New York a. once and order some.
The city merchant filed the order from
lot of cheeses he had just received
from England.
Ships have carried precious cargoes
across sea l know, but No ship ever
bore such precious freight as the one
that brought that cheese from England
factory girl thinks. Because, one dav,
little while after the rich family re.
ceivsd their old English dairy cheese
from New York, she found letter in
the post Office addressed 10 her. And |
oh, what do you think? II was from
the son Of that rich family-the incest
little letter. The writer said he had
found that awful card-eh, no He
didn't say awful card. He said he had |
found the girls card in an old English |
dairy cheese they had received from |
New York, and would she deig1 TO let !
him call and see her? Would she deign. |
Now. you viii hardly believe il, but |
the writer of this note was the young /
man this horrid girl had put out OF her /
