Matainoros Is the center of it.s pro

United States. Women and girls are
employed in the manufacture , and
uonie of it is very expensive , for a
year may be required to make a single
piece. The linen or silk is placed in a
frame , the threads are drawn out one
way , and with a needle and the finest
pool thread the design is worked.
Perfilado is taught in the public

handkerchiefs , tablecloths , bedspreads

work Is hard and difficult , and the
earnings are on an average less than

Valantine can't stay in the lead
always. A prairie fire near Norden
Wednesday entitles them to a burnt

he would rather walk fifty miles to
talk to his girl ( th at is , if he could
find one ) rather than use the saving
method of the intended father-in-
law.
