What were the vast monoio lists of the East in the beginning ? Had they sat with their hands in their ioeketH and contemplated the status of their great grandfathers. would there have teen any colossal spinneries and factories in JNew England ? And to prove this let us look at a New England village a drop in the treat bucket filled by I ljowell and Lynn and their over J flowing sisters. Fall lliver, Mass., was, a few years back, a small and 'unknown hamlet. What Fall Kiver is to-day and if y she is so ; let our icople learn from a North- ern newpajH.'r, the New York : Times: " Fall Itiver rfeems to be the most ! " rapidly growing city in New Eng- "land. During the past year its population has increased nearly "st-ven thousiind, while its cotton " inil.s. for some years past its I "speciality, have augmented in j : " proM)rtion. It is now the City of Si piiulles. Having rouoeu iweu oi , i i wi.., i ; .,, "extent of lis manufactories and " the enterprise of its inhabitants. ! " Fall Itiver has now in oieration " thirty mills, containing about 1,1U0ikm ; ppindles, representing I "some Si",njo,WKJ of capital, and I "einplovingalMut l.",(loperativi'S. "The success of the mills there has "been almost unprecedented, and " may be inferred from the prevail " i.ig price of the shares.

Fall Riv i"eris not only the largest cotton " manufacturing town in New Eng- " land, but in America, and its fu i tun, hirla fiir tfinTceAl its u resent t4 u VTKnt exceeds its past. rapid growth would " indicate that it may, at no distant " ily, eclipse Manchester itsell " the greatest cotton manufacturing " centre on the globe." This looks enormous. It is bet ter; and is so proven by statistics. And the same immense return, upon an investment originalli small. may be made by any practical set of men, in half a dozen different en terprises. Why our people should hesitate to trust their capital insuch enterprises-rSurevMeand immensely payinq we' cannot divine. We should not Only have a half dozen other enterprises, less costly, per haps, yet paying equal premiums upon a small investment. And, what Fall River is to New England, the Catawba, with its thousand tributaries, the smallest of which affords most excellent shoals, mill sites and wuter power is to Western North Carolina. Look for a moment at cur peculiar advant ages in t!i!s p;u ticular, and what we sav of this particular locality, might be fab! "of our neighboring towns, though our familiarity with them in ibis u spect will not enable us to speak, so much in detail. The Catawba, flowing over a bed of solid rock, shut in by high rocky banks, lined with the finest shoals within two miles of us.' At the nearest point we find the Horse Ford Shoals, with a capacity almst without tKiunds said to be equal'm caiaeity and certainly superior in many 'other resects, to that of Lowell on Fall River, that sustains a population of o0,000. The South Fork of the Catawba, a much smaller river, but large enough to run large manufacturing i-vtuhlishments. runs still '-loser ; being uriftih two miles at Rowe's mills. Like the main river, it I presents a series of fine mill seats : coming in rapid succession, it being characteristic ol tne streams in una vicinitv to descend by a succession of swift 'shoals falling over the horizontal .strata of granite which underlies, and are laid bare by their channels. Tributary to these twostreamsare seven creeks, each large enough to run merchant" mills and saw mills ; and each, like the parent streams presenting aseriesof fine mill seats, and similar strata of granite. Of these creeks, Drowning, Horse Ford and Snow creeks, are the tributaries of the Catawba ; and Stony, Oil and Sides eri-ek tributariesof theSouth Fork, which also at Lincolnton at length receives Clarkes creek. Three of these creeks, Clarkes, Stoney and Sides creek, and also some of the i 1 II... Linl i.ruut hfll'P their soun-es within the corporate limits of this town. Tributary to these two rivers and Leven creeks are a host or smaller creeks and branches, resembling the. bir rt.r streams in the structure oi their channels, and having many little shoals available for running light machinery, such as oil mills, barks mills, cotton gins, turning lathes, drills, augers, fcc. Where, then, we ask can be found a more extraordinary aggregation of water power. In a locality, too, perfectly free from miasmatic dis eases, and ' in which the streams hold their size unusually well, dur ing the dry weather of summer, and machinery never be stopped by ice during winter. It lies between the cotton producing regions of the South, and the wool growing region of the mountains; and is surround by iron mines and an unlimited supply of the finest timber; a cli mate -mild . and genial; plenty of food ; on one of the great railroad lines wf the South, ami near its probable intersection with two oth ers, equally important. This branch of our subject is capa ido rt pnl.inremont. which we shall attempt in a future article. Our people shall hear whether they act or not. The Signal to the TVIfe How Engineer Guild IMed. In the material chronicling of daily events as they occur, it is not expected that much poetry or senti ment will manifest itself. In tho newspapers, the chord vibrated the most frequently is that of horror Fearul accidents, riots and murders come in a damp, inky way to-the breakfast table, and fasten one while the neglected coffee cools. But once in a while, without designing, it flowers of ioetry will bloom beneathj the Uisy fingers of the telegraph operator as he sends his dot-and-j dash story along the wires. lit does not know it, perhaps, for hi$ brain is bu-y with the translation! of his copy into the mystic alphabet; of Morse. ; Such a story comes as a sad sequel to the appalling catastrophe at Pawcatuek River. First ve were.' thrilled to the heart by the graphic- recital or tne rushing tram, speeu-, ing on through the black night to wards the yawning chasm, just ahead. Then came the fatal leap, the leap into the clammy 'arms of Death, and o'er all the crushed and broken cars and their living freight, the flame king waved his crimson banner. While reading the story jl we could hear those agonize J I shrieks oi the men and i women slowly roasting to death. The pic ture was just as vivid as that given us of tbe noble Atlantic grinding upon the cruel rocks at. Marr's Head. Rut it was all a picture of horror. Running through it, how ever, is a silver thread oi sentiment, a touching little episode, as tender! in its effect as any wrought by the loving hand of Dickens. !' The engineer, Wm. D. Guild, lived in that part of Providence known as Elm wood, his house be ing close to the railroad crossing. And in that house were his wife and bairns. So every time he rush ed by the 'loved spot, whether in night or day, in storm or sunshine; he sounded" a short, peculiar sigi al upon t lie locomotive whistle, as a greeting to his wife.' Think of a hoarse shrieking locomotive whistle uttering notes of 'ove. This signal meant that he was there and "all right," and we can easily imagine how eagerly she listened for the sound. To her it was sweeter music than ever dropped in a golden stream from the pen of Chopin. In time the teople of Providence, and the regular passengers along the line, came to know the sound, and when they heard it would say", "That's Guild's signal to his wife." On last Sunday night she missed it for the first time, and will never hear it again. Such an incident as this, supple mented by the noble character of the man and his heroic death, soum and till out as pathetic a story as was ever told. . lie was as gallant a man as any that ever tilted for a bit of ribbon in the rosy days of the chivalric time. True he was an en gineer, a smoky, begrimed engineer, always looking ahead to where the flaming eye of his engine searched into the night; 'but he was none the less a hero. When the end came at last he did not quail. They say he could have jumped from the train, but he preferred to die at his post. No doubt his last thoughts were of the wife and babes at home. A prayer fluttered up from his lips to heaven, and then came the crash. His burned body was found erect, 'j with his face to the front and hi hand upon the throttle valve. That was a death to die. since' die we must, one and all of us. The "Black Sergeant" can come in no better guise than when he relieves a man from the post of duty, and tells him to turn in for the long sleep of eter nity. Ar. 1". Telegram. - ' Punctuality. Dr. Deems, of the Church of the Strangers, hasquite a reputation for fastidious punctuality. The follow ing story is told of him. He was to make a prayer at the unveiling of the statue of Franklin in Printing I louse square. His watch lost time. The cars were obstructed ! He! reached the Astor House ; just in time to see that he had a minute and a half to meet his engagement.? The road was blocked by crowds gathered to witness the unveiling.: The Doctor worked his way through Nassau street, to the corner of Spruce. In the meantime, all the other gen tlemen who were to take part in the exercise had assembled in the room from which they were to proceed to tho ground. It wanted but a few minutes to twelve when oneof them said, "We are all here but Dr. Deems." Horace Greeley said, " He lives up town. Give him ten. minutes." " Yes, gentlemen,'! ad ; ded Dr. Prime, of the Observer, give him ten minutes, and if he is not here then, send for the Coroner, fori you may be sure the Doctor isdead.'l . . - A 11.11 At that monr'nt tne city nan. clock pointed to twelve, and Dr. Deems opened Jlie door.VA". 1 roper. i -l The New York dispatches men ; tinned, a few days since, thei fact that the English detective win? came over in the forgery matter had; had his 'pocket picked while seeing" the New York sights.

I The Atlantic Notable Wrecks. i This is the great disaster of the half-century ; not since the British frigates St. George and Defend were wrecked off the coast of Jutland, in J811, has any such frightful loss of life been added to the sorrow of the sea. In that wreck 2,000 men were drowned. The sinking of the Royal George off Spithead, in 1782, when Admiral Kempenfeldt went down with his (XK) men, was long cele brated in song and story as the greatest catastrophe by sea for many generations. The Amazon, a West Indian mail steamship, left South ampton, on the first voyage, on the 2nd of January, 1852, and the morn ing of January 4, was destroyed by fire at sea, about 110 miles W. S. W. ofScilly. The accident was ascrib ed to the spontaneous ignition of combustible matter placed near the engine room. Of the 1G1 persons on board, 102 jierished by fire or drown ing. The Arctic left Liverpool Sept. 20, 1854, and came Into the iron propeller Vesta during a dense log, on the 97th of Sept. off Cape Race. She was built at New Y'ork in ISoO, by Wm. II. Brown, at a cost of $700,000 and was insured, exclusive of cargo, for alwiut $000,000; the cargo was insured for $.i()0,0(M). She was of tf.oOO tons1 register, ana naci boats sufficient for 500 persons. The passengers and cresv numbered 4J'J persons, of whom about 307 were lost. The Birkenhead, an English troop ship, iron paddle-wheeled, and 5GG horse-power, sailed from Queenstown, Eng., Jan. 7, 1852, for the Cape of Good Hope, and struck on a pointed pinnacle rock, off Sim on's Bay, South Africa, on or about the2Cth of February following. She had on board detachments of the 12th Lancers, 2d, Gth, 12th, 43d, 45th and GOth Rifles, 73d, 74th, and 91st Regiments, making with the crew, a total of 638 persons, 454 of whom ierished. The Pacific, a Collins steamer, left Liverpool for New York in January, 1S55, with 185 persons on board, and was never heard from. The Austria, a British steam-emigrant ship, sailed from Hamburg on the 2d and Southamp ton on the 4th of September, 1858, with 538 persons on board, and was burned in the middle of the Atlan lico'n thel3th ; only G7 persons were saved. The St. Paul, Capt. Pennard, an English vessel from Hong Kong to Sidney, Australia, with 327 Chi nese emigrants, was wrecked on the island of Rosscl, Sept. 30, 1858. The cautain and eiaht of the crew left the island in search of assistance, j and were picked up by the schooner j Prince of Denmark. The French! steamer Styx was dispatched on the j island and brought away one Chi- j naman on the 25th of January, IS..J. All the rest had been massacred and devoured by the natives. The Lima, an American bark, with emigrants, was wrecked off Barfleur, on the 17th of February, 18(10. n hove 100 lives wtre lost. The Blanche Net, containing the chil- j dreti of Henry I., of 'England, and i a large number of children was j wrecked on the same rock Novem- i her 25, 1120, 3G3 lives being lost at j the time. Besides these are recent t instances of the Luna, Hungarian, Anglo Saxon, London, Evening j Star, Central America, City of! Boston, and the Northfleet. ! London Correspondence X. Y. Time. The Ilritish Royal Family in Bad Favor. The High Church people are very angry with the royal family just now. The Duke of Edinburgh's equerrv and confidential friend, Elliot Yorke, has married a Jewess, a daughter .of Sir Anthony Roth schild, and is about to be married himself to the Czar's only daughter, who, of course, belongs to the Greek Church. On Thursday night the Duke and the Princeof Wales voted for the bill legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister I fancy the first time they ever voted at all. Then the princes go to the theatre night after night, although we are now in Lent, and even the Queen does not scruple to hold courts and levees in that sacred season. A more practical grievance is that of the ladies who cry out about having to go to court in winter weather with bare arms and shoulders. They have to take their place in the carriages in a long line of vehicles early in the forenoon, in order to be in good time. A carriage, even with the windows up, is not a very warm place, and all the roughs and ragamuffins assembled to peep through the windows and criticise the appearance of the "quality" in free and easy language. "Oh, my ! here's a skinny one!" or, "Lor'! she's a fat enough for a first prize !" is about the pk;asantest remark the poor, shivering, red-nosed devotees nf mv-dtv a re likelv to hear concert - ing themselves. . After an hour or so spent in this cheerful and exhilarat ing manner, the ladies who are go ing tn pay their respects to their sovereign are ushered into a large, and by no means warmly ventilated room'inthM palace. Here there is more waiting and shivering. Then the Queen arrives, and there is a bold rush through the velvet bar riers leading to the throne-room ; young and old, admirals and debu tantes, captains and dowagers, swords and flounces, are pell-mell crushing ami rustling into the pres ence of royalty, where rank and beauty at last arrive, short of breath and red of face, from the free scrim mage outside, j Does Travelling Pay? There is one thing that tends to give the student or lover of travel something of an unsatisfied feeling as his journey draws near its close, especially if he has been limited as to time, and that is the thought of how much there is in Europe to study and to see, and how little, comparatively,he has accomplished. Yet, even with this feeling, the author could not help hugging to his heart the real solid enjoyment that had been experienced in visit ing those scenes hallowed indream9 of "youthful imagination, in realiz ing the hopes and anticipations of years, and also the thought of what a pleasure the memory of these sights and scenes in foreign lands would be, in years to come, as they were recalled to mind. Orer the Ocean, by Curtis Guild. Sheffield, it is said, is about to give to the world a grear benefac tor than Watts. The ffrice of coal has been one of the great questions of the hour in England, and the probable exhaustion of the coal fields has made those interested in pos terity very uncomfortable. Now a substitute is. promised, and one, too, of which there is an unlimited supply. Mr. Wright's invention for warming and lighting is already patented. ' In ' passing through a charged battery atmospheric air is carbonized, and thus combustible gas is produced which burns bright er than coal gas, and when mixed with air has a heating power, which can melt copper wire. C THURSDAY, What to do with Old Books and Newspapers. Not Jong since a gentleman vis iting a charity hospital, remember ing that he had some illustrated papers in his pocket, gave them to an old man there who could not read. He would have forgot ton the circumstance if he had not been re minded of it by one the physicians of the institution whom he met af terwards. "He has not yet finished studying those pictures," continued the doctor after mentioning me in cident. "Do you remember the dull, vacant countenance of the man? You would be surprised now at his sprightliness, and when I spoke to him of the change he said: 'O, Doctor! you can't know what a joy these papers have been to me! I have lain on this bed week alter iveek. . I have counted again and again all the squares in this counterpane; I can shut niy eyes and put my finger on any par ticular figure in it. I know every speck on the walls of my room. I can tell just how many bricks in the wall of the opposite building can be counted through my window, and I have been so tired until I got these papers.' " Is such a result worth the expend iture of a little trouble, a postage stamp and a newspaper wrapper? Generous, hearted people often com plain that they can give nothing, because they have no money to be stow ; and yet there are so many tender charities that require very little money, and sometimes none at all. If travelers would msil books and journals .to some charitable institu tion, instead ot leaving tnem scat tered about in ears and hotels, the benefit conferred would be out of all proportion to the small amount of trouble requisite. Stay-at-home readers can take their, discarded books to some poor unfortunate they j may chance to know, or send tnem to those who a re. interested in pub lic charities, that they may dispose of them. And even many invalids (who are generally great readers) will doubtless be glad to learn that although apparently able to do so little for themselves or any one else, they have this opportunity afforded them of so greatly helping other in valids, more unfortunate than themselves, to Ai enjoyment for which they are too poor to pay.

D., on " The Influence of Dress on the Health of Women," at 187 Second avenue, before a small gath ering of ladies, girls and nurses-. The general argument was that all articles of female apparel should de pend from the shoulders, 'and not from the waist, in order that with every upward movement of the arms the clothing niight yield at the same time. She called atten tention to the necessity of pure blood in order to insure the devel opment and healthy condition of the human system; She showed hyr manikin and plates the structure and action of the organs for circula tion of the blood the heart, arteries and ve'.ns. It was important to this end to permit the utmost freedom of action in the superficial as well as internal veins, and to avoid all practices that introduce a poisonous element in the blood. Among the latter causes of disease was instanced sleeping in close rooms on low beds and wearing close veils; drawing the bedclothes over the mouth, by which carbonic acid gas was inhal od und hv th nrneess called endos- mosis passed into the blood, render ing it poisonous, or at least unfit for its purposes. The lecturer begun the consideration of the effects of impeding circulation by speaking of belts at or below the waist; showed not only how they crowded upon the surface small vessels, but by pressure of the ribs, or directly on the circulation of the visoera, caused their disease and displace ment. If a beast of burden were see'n in the streets with a part of his harness binding his body closely, as ours often are, and the weight of a load appended to it, as a woman's bur-, den of clothes press down her mus cles and veins, a call woutd be made to the pitying Bergh for immediate rel ief. No pity is demanded for ladies who are daily practising such cruel ties, because they do not know what is producing the evils they suffer, or, knowing, have not the courage to resist murderous customs, and especially so long as men abet them by admiring fashionably dressed ladies. The subject is to be continu ed at the next lecture New York Herald, loth inati Thermay be no more drunken ness in Boston now than is usual, but the number of drunken persons in the streets and other public places is unusually larg; A person can hardly walk up Washington street on an afternoon without being jostled by drunken men between the old State House and the Boyl ston Market, and the spectacle of a drunken woman among the crowds of that sex seen on that thorough fare every pleasant day is so com mon as scarcely to attract attention. The number of drinking places is certainly not decreasing, and if they do not increase it is not because of legal restraints.. The churches are doing something to keqMhe young from indulging in theWiabits thai make drunkards some of them, we are sorry to say, very little; reform clubs are stretching out their hands ho fallen, and other tem perance organizations are working in tneir own way, anu uumg mun good ; but busy as they are in try ing to save or rescue, and busy as death is in removing the victims ol this vice, the powerful agencies oi King Alcohol keep the ranks of his Hvnva full. His recruit ing officers are in every street, and in some sections of the city his re cruiting stations are placed on al most every corner, anu in ueuauw of law, and of public opinion also, those whose relations to the public should make them prosecutors iD many instances, encourage and pro tect the traffic.

Snort sleeves have gone out of fashion, even iu full dress. Duckess cloth is the finest woollen fabric er manufactured. j Velvet and yak lace are the stan dard trimmings of the season. Suits of gray stuff, with stripes that look like sponge, are worn. , "Orange blossom faille" is the latest material for bridal dresses., Massive cut steel buttons are the latest adornment for ladies' cos tumes. The vulgar custom of displaying j wedding preoents has gone com pletely out of fashion. Materials formed of alternate stripes of satin and velvet are very fashionable for skirts. The fade tints are going out, and the :M fashioned, bright, positive colors" are being worn aain. Silks are less expensive this year. The ladies herein have a most ex cellent excuse for getting three new silk dresses instead of one. Steel buttons are bluish, or brown ed like a rifle barrel, engraved, or else cut into glittering points. Carved wooden buttons are also worn. Lace is used in great profusion on the bonnets of the spring. Lace strings are again in vogue, fastened under the chin with a little bunch of rose buds. The most fashionable walking costumes are of very light colored cloth, trimmed with dark velvet bands. The skirt is striped length ways with velvet bands. , The new club handled parasols are common. They w,ere stylish a year ago. The ladies who are now on their way back from Europe will bring the correct thing. Sashes are now worn lined with another color as blue 1 i ned with rose, or buff for instance. They are made with a long, swinging loop to hold up the pouffe of the dress. Oxvdized silver ornaments are much in use on bonnets. They are in the form of shields, poignards, buckles, birds, helmets, anchors, battle axes, medallions, filigree ferns, thistles, and what-no-jets are also much worn. Among new colors are ainon, a greenish yellow ; alligator, a purp lish blue; . corbeau, crow color; ecorce; lichen, a grayish blue; suede ; paon, peacock color ; apricot ; nicolo ; blanc et perle ; blanc et argeul; blanc et or and blanc et ble. Treachery Begetting cry. Treacli- It is a fortunate thing that most men agree in marking down treach ery among the very blackest of crimes. So the outcry has been ter rible against the Modocs for treach ery resulting in the death of Gener al Canby. This is just. But the condemnation of that fearful crime is as bitter a condemnation of the treachery which preceded it. How have we ourselves dealt with the Modocs? In 1S52 there were Indian troubles. The Boston Globe tells this storv. In that year "acom- country lava beds, and fought three unsuc cessful battles. Their lorce being insufficient for the Modocs, they re turned to Yreka and organized a larger force, and then marched again to the Modoc country. Winter ap proaching, found the Modoc supply of blankets, ammunition ana tooa extremely limited; consequently the Modocs were anxious ior a ces sation of hostilities. "Captain Wright received tne Modocs' overtures with great cor diality. A. peace conierence was agreed upon, and a place was ap pointed in the immediate vicinity of the massacre ot General canoy. The conference met, about twenty five Indians and thirty white men. While discussing terms, W right . . a i .,...,1 ; - srave his men tne signal ami m a moment they Kinea eignieen mo docs.

One night a Modoc chief named Enos murdered him, and hornoiy mutilated his body. Enos was af terward captured and hanged. lie ditnl exulting that he had wreakea vengeance on the leader ot the mas sacre of his murdered tribe." Let us condemn the b!ack-heaed acts of the JMouocs, uut lei us ue equally just in condemning the acts of our own representatives. This act of the command of Captain Wright is a fair sample ot tne oid time way of dealing with the sav ages, i An innuisitivo French bishop once caught a Tartar in the Duke de r?.onno!aire. The latter passing in haste through Lyons, was hailed by the bishop with " Hi! hi!" The duke stopped. "Where have you come from ?" inquired the prelate Paris," said the duke. " What is there fresh in Paris?" "ureen peas." " But what were the people saying when you left?" "Ves pers." "Goodness, man," broke out the angry questioner, " who are, you? Wiiat are you called?" " Ignorant people call me Hi ! Hi ! gentlemen term me the Duke de Roquelaire. Drive on, postillion !" An American judge once inter vened in an odd way to prevent a waste of words. He was sitting in chambers, and seeing, from the piles of papers in the lawyers' hands that the first cause was likely to be hard ly contested, he asked: "What is the amount in question?" "Two dollars," said the plaintiff's counsel. I'll pay it," said the judge, hand ing over the money ; 44 call the next case." He had not the patience of taciturn Sir William Grant, who, after listening for a couple of days to the arguments of counsel as to the construction of an act, quietly observed when they had done: "The act is. repealed." I think the first virtue is to re strain the tongue; he approaches nearest to the gods who knows how to be silent, even, though he is in the right.

I have noticed that purses will hold pennies as well as pounds. I have noticed that merit Is always measured in the world by its success. I have noticed that in nearly all things money is the main object in view. I have noticed that iu order to be a reasonable creature it is necessary at times to be downright mad. I have noticed that some men aie so honest that necessity compels them to be dishonest in the end. I have noticed that silks, broad clothes and jewels are often bought with other people's money. I have noticed that whatever is, is right, with a few exceptions the left eye, the left leg, and the left side of a plum pudding. I have noticed that the prayer of every selfish man is " Forgive us our debts," while he makes every body who owes him pay to tho ut most farthing. I have noticed that he who thinks e-'ery man a rogue is very certain to see one when he shaves himself, and he ought, in mercy o his neigh bor, to surrender the rascal to jus tice. I have noticed that .money is the fool's wisdom, the lriave's reputa- tion, the poor covetous man's idol of all. man's desire, tne ambition, and the I have noticecTThat all men speak well of all men's virtue's when they are dead, and that tombstones are marked with epitaphs of the good and virtuous.

The man who walks the streets, carrying an umbrella under his arm, was at the corner of Fifth and Vine streets, Philadelphia, Thursday morning. He stopped suddenly to speak with a friend, and a man be hind him nearly broke the joint of the umbrella off by running his eye against it. The man swore, and the umbrella chap wheeled sudden ly, tearing oa a young lady's back the umbrella ooint tore off a portion Ot a sman uoy s ear, anu luimeui- j . . . . ,.. i i!

In the excitement and confusion that ensued the umbrella was put into a hack and driven to the hospital, and the man was taken to an umbrella store to undergo repairs. Press. Sad Case. A lady in town who has been get ting ready for Easter requested her husband to go to the dressmaker on Friday and tell her that she (his wife) 'had ' changed her mind, and would have the watered silk in stead of the poplin, and that "if she thinks it would look better with bias flounces without puffing, and box-plated below theequator, which should .be gathered in hem-stitch gudgeons up and down the seams, with a gusset-stitch between, she can make it up that way, instead of fiiiHno- the bobinet insertion and piecing out with point applique, as 1 suggested estirday."

"A Lurid Lunch" is what a Chicago Times reporter heads an account of a fire in that city, lie doesn't say that the plates were licked clean by the flames.
