EUGENE t With "When Sweet Sixteen," at COWLES, the Grand on January 25th, E-- _ EE -- CORONATION VELVET. Much of the Work Done on Hand : Looms in Cottages. Lopdan Daily Mail In the ancient: borough of Sudbury in Suffolk, the few remainmg hand- loom "weavers are hard at work mak- ing the velvet for the rokes. - Among the number are the Misses Foakes, of a family of weavers who m days past were mak- ers of bunting for the royal navy. In theiz cottage, which was once visited by the queen, are two hand looms bn which are two lengths of beautiful vel- vet, one rich crimsom in color and the other dark brown. Ihe - weavers are weated when at their looms, their feet working pedals resembling: those of an organ. There are two sets of threads, the visible one forming the back of the material and the other the pile, each of these being delicately threaded through vertical threads known as the harness. The weaver passes the shuttle backward and forward, and each warp and weft is pressed home by a swinging wooden frame. A cutter, which runs the loom on a wire cuts the thredds to make the pile. The process of manufacture is slow and tedious. The time is occupied not so mubh in the weaving as. in the cleaning. At each foot or so made the weaver - uses a curious knife like a spokeshave and shuvis the surface of the velvet to clean it. There are now not more than thirty hand-loom weavers left in Sudbury, the Misses Foakes being among the num- ber. - The rows of weavers' cottages, now wuccupied by other artisans and general workers, show the extent of the industry fifty years ago corgnation Pp members a fi b Ol a a Pp a [ACTOS 0 Pp Ie fe Gifts of the People, Winnipeg Free Press. i'he beneficence of the vear 1210 in the United States, as expressed by large donations and bequests for pub- lic purposes, reached the huge sum of £141,604 5 This 1s the total figured oat by the Chicago I'ribune, the dona tions amounting to 207492107, and) the bequests to SM, I12,131.
