II know such a sweet love storyi And 1t all
came about through a horrid old cheese
And the bright eyes OF the charming and
vivacious young woman from C~attaraugus
county grew still brighter. and the peach bios
som on her checks deepened to the blush Of tho
red, red rose.
at is such n lovely romance, and It all came
from the making OF q horrid old cheese up in
C~attsraugus county. Just to think of anything
romantic leading out of cheese making. 1t
seems ridiculous to think Of such a thing. But
that is how this romance happened.
You must know that We make n great guam
tity of cheese In Cattaraugus county. And We
make all kinds OF cheese. The best imported
cheeses are made in Cattaraugus c~ounty-every
kind of imported cheese. What we most pride
ourselves on is English dairy cheese. Such
lovely old English dairy cheese as we do make!
This doesn't become old English dairy cheese.
though. until 1t is sent to England and then
shipped back to this country again. 1t Is tho
same with our fine French, Swiss, German, and
other imported cheeses. They are made in
Cattaraugus county, but they 30 over to tho

pecially our English dairy cheese. Why, don't
you know, our best people up in C~attaraugus
county never think of buying our own cheese
until 1t goes to England and Is imported to New
York Then they send to New York and buy
English cheese, paying a great deal moro for 1t
than they could have bought 1t for right at
home. My, yes! We are wrapped up so much
In English cheese that we have grown to be

well, of course there must DO cheese facto-
tories to make all these cheeses, and q great
many girls work in these factories-the sweet
est, and freshest, and p~rettiest girls! You Just
ought to know how sweet and fresh and pretty
these cheese factory girls In Cattaraugus are
Well. once one of them-oh-h-h myl'
Charming confusion mingled for a moment
with the still deeper flush on the face OF the vi
vacious young woman from Cattaraugus county,
but only for a moment.
'At least 1 have heard people say that she was
at that time; but. oh my! she has been married
ever so long-nearly six months-and perhaps
they wouldn't say so now Well. anyhow, this
griffith do no good to ask me who she was;
you couldn't induce me to tell, not for worlds!-
this girl worked in one of the cheese factories.
And what do you suppose she did one day :
However could she have done It! She actually
wrote her name and address on q card. with her
a~ge-which was only Island something about
her face and figure. Oh, it was so silly Of her,
But it was only for a lark, don't you know. And
then, the riduculous. creature! she wrote on. the
card No Lover Yet Oh, 1t was utterly too hor-
rid of her. 1t makes my face burn for her when.
ever l think how utterly horrid she was
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.
so, after she had made the card all ready this
awful girl placed it slyly in a cheese that was to

cheeses, and by and by away it went. Now, you
mustn't think that, because. this silly thing
that she couldn't have had one II she chose to,
because she could, and a-many a one, too. The
idea! guess she could! But you see the right
but oh my! He was out OF the question. He
didn't even know she existed-she, a little silly
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.
We'll, weeks and weeks and weeks went by
after this foolish girls horrid card had gone away
about it the more she grew to be ashamed OF
herself for having doneit Night after night she
cried herself to sleep thinking over it-the silly
wished and wished that the car the cheese went
away in had run of the track and smashed that
pened 10 it. Ny, but she was desperate!
One day, six weeks after the card had been

dairy cheese. OF course, they had to send to
New York at once and order some, The city

had Just received from England.
ships have carried precious cargoes across
sea, ! know. but no ship ever. before bore such
precious freight as the one that brought that
cheese from England !! That isl mean-so that
silly cheese factory girl thinks! Because one
day n little while after the rich family received
their old English dairy, cheese from New York
she found q letter in the Post ONCE addressed
to her. And oh, what do you think 1t was
from the son of that rich family-the incest lit
tie letter.! The writer said he had found that
awful card-oh, 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 deign to let him call
and see heri Would she deign!
Now, you will hardly believe 1t, but tho
writer of this note was tho Young man this hor-
rid girl had put out of her mind long before-she
only a cheese factory girl, and he SO rich and
handsome!-and here that card she had blushed
for and wept over all these months had gone all
the way TO England and come back home again.
and he had got It'll Wasn't that Just too sweet

fathers house and see her. And he did. And
he fell in love with her. And in three months
they were married. And oh! We have been so
deliciously happy ever since. But there will DO
