A short magazine article retelling the Chinese legend of the Weaving-girl (Yelr N'geu) and the Young-man-leading-a-cow (N'gow Long), as told by a Chinese informant in San Francisco's Chinatown. The two industrious lovers neglect their work, are separated in heaven by the Silver River, and meet once a year on a magpie bridge on the seventh day of the seventh month. The article explains the girls' feast day, when Chinese girls do needlework and pray to avoid the Weaving-girl's fate. It has no technical weaving content.
