The other variety of thrown silk is called organzine. In this, the single threads are first twisted up, previous to their being twisted together. This is used for the warp, or parallel threads upon the loom. Throwing of silk was an important branch of manufacture in this country, until the duties were reduced in 1826.

Stoller took his toothpick out of his mouth and bowed; then he seemed to remember, and took off his hat.

"I was hunting for water," he said humbly, "and have brought you some." He handed her the flask. "And I see you have had a wash," she said a little enviously. "How spick and span you look!
