Carefully Guarded Trade Secret.

Among the finest and most distinc-
tive varieties of textile fabrics are the
cloths technically known as cuttings.

The important processes in the
manufacture of cuttings are jealous
ly guarded as trade secrets. They
represent the finest achievements in
cotton cloth.
The extreme delicacv of their manu-
facture may be gathered from the
fact that down to even twenty-five
years ago they were still largely
made on the nand loom, the work be.

the workers in their own homes. BY
constant experiment and after many
failures a quilting loom was construct

came to be the centre for the making

The marriage Of Mr.. Isaac Valdez
and Miss Jennie Garston took place
Al August 2zth. 4 ths Noe M "
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-27

she purchased her s wee bit of gray
bear, that looked so cute that 1t set
off Trixsy into commissions of laughter
nearly every time she looked at it.
The next morning she requested her
mamma to make her three bowls of
porridge, a great, big bowlful, a mid.
dle-sized bowlful and little bit of
boWlful. This her mother did, and
then TriXsy began her game, after
making three beds by placing three
sofa cushions on three boxes and set
ting three chairs up against the wall,
one great, big one for the great, big
bear, one of her own, little rattan
rocker for the middle-sized bear and
q dolls chair for the wee, little bear;
then she set the bears each in his
chair and they looked so comical that
Trixsy had to roll over the carpet
while with laughter before being able
to resume the game.
The next thing she did was to pile all
the bears up in her dolly coach and
turn them outdoors. Then she threw
her best doll, "Silver-H Hair" into
window and soon followed her.
Taking "Silver-Hair' in her arms
she went to the three bowls of por-
ridge and gave her taste of all of
them. Then TriXsy's mamma heard
someone say: "This is too hot for me.
This is too cold for me. This is about
right" which sounded very much like
Trixsy's own voice, though a little
squeaky.
At the wee, little bowl of porridge
Trixsy paused. and, true to the story,
she herself ate the porridge in the
little, wee bowl all I'd.
Then she set "SilN err Hair in each
one of the chairs, declaring none suit
ed until she came tc the little chair
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-27

here she began to be afraid Miss Rose
mary might not be glad to see so small
a visitor But at last she took cour-
age and pulled at the bright brass
knocker. She forgot all such fears
when she saw the radiant face with
which the old lady greeted her.
please, Miss Rosemary, I've come
to visit you" said the little girl, shyly:
Now, l do declare, this is sweet OF
you, dear Walk right in" cried the
old lady with a happy smile.
And Katherine was once more in the
little parlor, which was filed with the
brightness and fragrance of roses. She
was almost dazzled by them all, as
they ran over the floor in the carpet,
the walls on the paper, the furniture
on their coverings, and real ones
peeped in the vine-eoVered windows
and filled the bowls on the tables.
Even Miss Rosemary has rose-colored
ribbons on her apron and in her dainty
lace cap.
"This is very, very kind Of you, my
dear" she repeated, as she made her
little visitor sit on the stool at her
feet.
Now, when Katherine saw how much
pleasure her visit gave her old friend
she felt sorry she had not come before,
and began to chatter of her playmates
and playthings and games, so as to
make herself agreeable. All the while
Miss Rosemary smiled, and when at
last Katherine stopped, not because
she was tired, but fearing that she
may have been too forward and talked
too much, her gentle hostess said.
Don't stop, dear; you entertain me
very much.'
But 1t is your turn now," pleaded
Katherine; "tell me a story. You
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-27

which she declared was just about
right, and forced "Silver-Hair" down
in it so hard that the bottom came
out, of 1t.
Then the beds were tried, none suit
ing until "SilVer- Hair" was placed in
the little bed, and was left to go to
sleep while Trixsy went after the
three bears. She found them just
where she left them, and soon TriXsy's
mamma heard in a coarse, grum voice:
who's been eating my porridge?' p and
in Trixsy's common, ordinary voice,
"Whos been eating my porridge?' and
again in Trixsy's thin, squeaky voice,
Somebody's been eating my porridge,
and they have eaten it all up"
Then followed in Trixsy's gruff
voice: Somebody's been sitting in my
chair" and in her milder one, Some
ones been sitting in my chair" and
then in her wee, little voice, Some
bodys been sitting in my chair and
has set the bottom all out of it,"
Then followed the same formula
about the three beds until the doll,
"Silver- Hair was Iound lying In it,
when Trixsy pounced forth with so
much excitement that in an effort to
throw the doll out of an open window,
safe away from the three bears, she
struck her against the window sill and
both legs were broken. This brought
the game or play to an abrupt ter
mination.
Poor Trixsy burst in tears and went
to her mother for comfort.
"Silver-Hair" is row IN the Dolls
Hospital" and when she comes out
she will have a pair of new legs, but
since Trixsy doesn': know everything
it will make no difference-Philadel-

Little TriXsy Trueman thought the
story of 1.-THE Three Bears" the finest
one in the world. She could repeat it
word for word and never tired of telk
ing it to all of her friends.
The first Christmas after she read
the story her father presented her with
a great black Teddy bear and someone
else with a smaller white one, but in
some way or another she did not seem
entirely satisfied.
What is it, darling?" asked her
mamma.
"Why, mamma, no one has given me
q little wee bear" was the reply, with
a funny pucker of her eyebrows.
How many bears do you want?"
asked her mamma. Aren't two
enough?"
mot to play The Three Bears
sighed Trixsy. "There was the great,
big, huge bear, you know, the middle
sized bear and the little, wee bear,
and he was the most 'portant of them
all, cause little Silver-Halr ate UP all
his porridge, broke the bottom out of
his little chair and mussed his little
bed all up"
Her mother could lot deny it, and,
wishing to satisfy her little daughter
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-27

Katherine was perched high up in
one of the old apple trees. The gnarled
boughs made an ideal seat in which to
while away the long afternoons, read
ing fairy tales or taking a birdseye
view of hill and dale as she muncned
the rosy checked fruit SO easy to reach.
And so when her mother called her
several times the little girl was not so
quick to obey as well behaved little
girls should be. However Katherine
grew ashamed of her tardiness at last
and ran in the house.

auntie and l have been invited out TO
tea. and 1 win send you over to grand
mas to stay until we call for you.
Your cousins and you will have good
time playing together and so you Will

"Oh, mother, DEAR" exclaimed the
little maid, coaxingly won't you let
me go to visit the little old lady whom
we once called on instead? 1 would
Just love to, and will be so good and
not give any trouble!"
Now Katherine's mother was very
much surprised at such request COM
ing from a little girl who loved play
mates as she did, but she smilingly
consented, saying "Well, dear, I'm
sure Miss Rosemary will be very glad
to see you, as she gets lonely, living
all by herself and 20 I will dress you
nicely and leave you at her gate"
Katherine gave one look after the
pony carriage and then walked slowly
up the neat path bordered with shells
which led to the door of the little
white house. Now that she was really

were a little girl"
"Ah, my dear, that was such long
time ago This old house has stored
up many memories, but I am afraid
they would not interest a little girl
like you"
But tell me about the roses" per-
sisted Katherine How did you come
to be so fond of them and to have so
many around you?"
"I earned the right to have them,"
answered her friend with glad smile.
Il must, indeed, go far back If I am
to tell you the story of my roses, for
it begins with my christening. Do you
know the meaning of my name, my
dear?"
mo" answered Katherine in sur
prise; "does it mean something's"
Rosemary is the name of an old
fashioned herb which means 'remem-
brance. My dear mother called me
this because she knew and loved two
old ladies whose names were Rose and
Mary, and she wanted me to grow up
to love and care for old people always.
So she combined the two names, and
it was always my especial pride and
delight to visit these dear old people,
and to bring as much brightness into
their lives as I could. They had the
finest rose garden In all the country
side, and 1 grew to love the flowers
as much as they did. They used to
say was as bright and sweet as a
rose myself, but that was long ago.
my dear and they are dead as their
roses died, and I am withered and old,
and grow very lonely myself some
times, with only their rose garden to
comfort me, which they left to me for
always remembering them"
"Oh, dear Miss Rosemary, this is a
very beautiful story, but the ending is
so sad! Do you think I could make it
brighter by coming to see you very
often, indeed, and spending hours
among your lovely flowers?"
Indeed, my dear, you have cheered
me up already. You will never regret
having been good to old people and
remembering them!"
And Katherine never didi

the fun you have getting presents for
grandma and grandpa, mother and
father and all the cousins and aunties
and brothers and sisters. When you
stop to count them all up aren't there
lots of people, you love so much, you
just have to give them the very incest

whose fathers have lots and lots of
money, who don't have to think a long
time and scrimp and plan to get the
very best present with only a little bit
of money
l almost know that some of my
nieces who can sew beautifully have
solved that problem, for l have seen
some of the most exquisite bits Of
fancy work for Christmas presents,
and they were made by little girls,
too.
1 heard of something awfully nice
the other day-a class of boys in one
of the city schools has made COM
fort, and the stitches are so fine and
pretty that they would rival those of
the finest seamstress. This comfort
has been given to one of the charitable
institutions of the city to keep some
little boy or girl warm on Christmas
evening. Don't you think that was
fine-for boys to do?
Well, boys and girls, I have the
sweetest little baby cousin! She is only
a little more than a year DID, and I
can hear her calling for me- She has
the prettiest little voice-and here
comes my little sister-and every one
is wondering where Aunt Laurie is.
They want me to come to Thanksgiv-
