ALEXANDRA THEATER

THE Princess of Patches"
will introduce another new fea-
tured actress to Seattle, who has
never been seen here before.
Margaret Marriott is her name,
and she possesses a spontaneous
vervacity that greatly resembles
Emma Bunting whom she has
never seen. In THE Princess
of Patches" she will be compar-
ed with the former favorite by
ali of Miss Bunting's admirerers.
Miss Marriott will have advant-
ages, for she sings and dances
something very necessary in a
soubrette actress. She will have
the further advantage of being
supported by the best stock COM
pany ever seen at the Alhambra,
as this weeks production of the

1t is a story of life, and the
heart throbs of a scarlet woman
who has never had her soul
awakened, she is not immoral,
but the coming of Jean is her
first step towards regeneration.
At sight of him, something
younger, purer and fresher than
she has ever known comes into
her heart, and she losses away
her riches and the countless
men, who have never loved her
for the good that was in her,
and follows Jean, One of the
most intense scenes is where
Jean reads aloud the former love
letters of Sapho, and burns them
one by one, the very thought
forces even her to exclaim,
What life! What a llfe!"
A final realization of great
ideals is gradually made plain to
the real womanhood of Sapho,
when her mother feelings sur
mount all else and she leaves
Jean, finding him unworthy, and
goes back to devote her life to a
man who has spent ten years in
prison on her account, and whose
child she has bourne.

have made Sapho mere vulgar
courtesan, but instead it is the

instead Of a few pounds AS a result Of
Whitneys invention the country that
once imported its cotton from Barbados
is shipping annually TO England az least
$500 bales weighing 500 pounds each.
In 1850 there were 14e,S97 persons en-
ployed in textile industries in this coun-
try. by 1880 the number had doubled. and
in 1905 the number had almost doubled
itself again. The silk industry had
come 10 the front, an industry once de-
SPARED of by the most optimistic and
to-day there are more than $1,000 silk

ing $4,000 silk spindles, or nearly one
half the number in oil the United States.
Such rapid growth OF industry alonS
any one line has given rise to many per
picking sociological problems, among them
the hours of the workers, the factory
problem. the housing, the child labor
problem and the union problem. Trade
unions have been formed, which If they
have at times halted the output OF the
industry by their strikes have won for
the workers better chance to cope with
organized capital, and by their system of
keeping the class Of labor up TO the high
American standard have insured to the
consumer better class Of goods.

fered by the invention of machinery in its

reasons. but mainly because England,
deeming herself wise in her policy of keep
ing her manufacturing implements at home
and making the colonies dependent on her,
forbade the shipment of any machinery for
weaving 10 them under penalty Of heavy
fine. The War Of the Revolution stopped
all importation of even the fine clothes the
gentle folk were accustomed to import, and
America was thrown back on her own re-
sources Of making all her goods by hand.
The year 1914 saw the beginning of the
first power loom process in this country in
Waltham Mass. Even then the cotton for
the mill was imported from Barbados for
the people of the South were not yet awake
n the wonderful future ahead Of them in
the present cotton belt Progress was SLOW

make it the laughing stock OF all who
saw it
However, American persstency was not
10 be overcome and mills sprang mp right
and left. with more or less opposition. The
country people did not want to adopt the
system Of power weaving. for the states
had all set a bounty on the yarn woven i'm
each home during the year to encourage
the industry Hand looms were used OK
tensively until 1850 carpets were woven by
hand until 1860 and philadelphia clung TO
the old method until 1870.
Simple as were the power looms Of the
early days, those Of modern times though
larger. are about the same in the essen
tial parts They consisted of frame, a
yarn beam about which the yarn was
wound a cloth beam on which the weaving
took place and two contrivances called
reed and a batten. The warp extended in
parallel threads from the yarn beam TO the
cloth beam, being passed in groups through
the heddles or holes, in the batten. The
heddles plying back and forth. made open
ings among the warp for the shuttle, which
carried the weft. The reed beating up and
down against the weft previously thrown
in by the shuttle regulated the fneness OF
the texture.
From the simple looms FIRST invented
have arisen many kinds suited 10 the dit-
ferent needs Of the times Foremost among
them are the ribbon loom for the making
Of cotton CLOTH plush, silk. worsted. etc.
the twill loom for the serges and the satins.
the figure loom for damasks and procades.
the double cloth loom for the heavy golr
cloths pile loom for the heavy carpets and

worked as never before, but AT the end OF
ten-hour day they had made only eight
yards Of rather coarse cotton, while the
machine had dyed, spun. carded and woven

With the invention Of the power looms
came the invention OF new dyeing. card

men were accustomed TO take huge heaps
Of wool beside them and comb It out with
large cards, which they held between their
