A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Small Table Cloth. This is one of two silk tablecloths my mother bought in Los Angeles, China Town, years ago. Silk? We all sisters asked her. What happens when food falls on it? You girls, make sure and don't let your forks rest on my silk tablecloths. They are so beautiful, she added. I want to admire them!
