4In the chapter on dress reference has been made to the method of embroidery and to the various designs in common use.

DOMESTIC LIFE AND MARITAL RELATIONS
ARRANGING THE MARRIAGE
Manóbo marriages, in general, may be said to be unions of convenience sought with a view to extending the circle of relatives in such directions as may result in an increase of power, prestige, protection, and sundry other material advantages. An instance passed under my notice in 1909 in which the daughter of a Mañgguáñgan warrior chief was captured in marriage for the purpose of securing his aid against the captor's enemies. The captor was a Manóbo-Mañgguáñgan of the upper Agúsan.
