No Right to Property Without
appropriation.

1t was averred that, for the sake
of its own convenience and without
consideration for the rights of the
company, the levee board took land
which is the most valuable part of the
whole property, which was under gen.
erous cultivation, and leased out in
small tracts, and on which there were
Experimentation barns, tool
houses, fences, bitches, etc.-without
consent of or compensation TO the
owners.
The levee board contended that I'M
der the law it had a right to take rural
or country property without eXpro-
priatiOn proceedings or compensa-
ton; that it only had to appropriate
property located on the river front in
cities and towns where such property
had been subdivided into lots. The
plantation company held that in this
direction the law only contemplated
property in the rear of a city, not
property on the river front. Judge
Theard sustained the contention of
the plantation company.
This decision affects among many
others the controversy which the Holy
Cross College authorities are having
with the levee board over the taking
of their property in a manner similar
to that in which the plantation COM
pany's property was taken.

DECORATIONS IN THE HOME
Especial Feature of the Moment Is the Lavish Use That Is Being
 Made of Lace.

Lace assumes more and more the important place in the domain of home furnishing It is so important that upholsterers have to employ lacemak- CTS and are obliged to make lace pur- ohases on a considerable scale
 Among other things. pianos and win dows are draped with lace, leaving room for legitimate upholstery 10 come afterward All styles are available. The "renaissance' combines with lace of quite modern origin And, combin. ing with all and second to none in fashion or effect is the oldfashioned crochet. The present taste for crochet denotes a remarkable revival in this kind of thing
 Another revival besides it and mak- ing common cause with house and especially drawing-room decoration,

is the equally oldfashioned netting. For long years past this species of handwork has been left almost ex- clusively to fishermen and their wives.
 It served for fishing nets and that was about all But now it is comineI back as fast as it can to the plac it occupied, let us say, a hundred years ago, in the repertoire of fancyI work for women
 Then was the time when dainty slipper.cased feet were put forward and used in the service Of the kind oti fancy work known as knitting NowI machinery does a great deal of the work which human fingers aided byl the foot used to do
 But whether wrought by fingers or machinery. it remains a fact that old. fashioned netting is distinct revival and that its presence in drawing rooms throws an air of fashion around them.
