REAL LACE is QUICKLY MADE
ton That Closely Resembles
Work of Professional.

Trace a design on the material to
be used and underneath it lightly
tack some Brussels net Under the
net place a piece of heavy cotton
cloth. Pad the design where it will
be most effective with coarse mer-
cerized thread, using a much finer
number for the actual embroidery.
When padding the stitches must al
ways be the reverse of the way the
embroidery is TO be worked, and the
embroidery itself must he worked In
satin stitch, always being careful TO
take up the net foundation. When
the design is finished take a sharp
pair of scissors and cut away the
muslin all around the pattern, being
careful not to clip the net. The net
must. of course. be cut away from
any part of the material not covered
by the design. When finished the
work looks like exquisite lace.

BIG COWBOY ROUNDUP TO
BE HELD AT TUcUMCARI

The sixth annual Cowboys Round
Up will be held at Tucumcari, New
Mexico, September S, 6 and z, and
it promises to be bigger and better
than ever, this year.
The program will begin Monday
morning with a grand Labor Day
and Cowboy parade and big free
barbecue will be held at the Fair
Grounds at noon, followed by the
regular cowboy events which begin
at two p. m.
1t is claimed that they are going
to use real wild range horses for the
bronx and wild horse races-and
not professional runaway horses
like are many times used. The steers
to be used for bulldogging and rid
ing are from Old Mexico, and run
in age from five years up, which, in
itself should guarantee that these
events will be thrilling.
A novel feature of their program
will be wild COW milking contest
an event never before seen in the
Southwest.
Large purses are being offered on
the relay and horse races, and It is
expected that there will be some
exceptionally fast and well trained
horses for these events.
There will be other interesting
events; and they invite folks from
the big southwest to Tucumcari,
promising that they will show them
great time at one of the biggest
roundup events of the year.
