: oueene .Anne's Lace

saw quantity of Queen Anne's
lace growing by a wayside today and
stepping to gather It l was struck
with the beauty of the 'flower"-I
shall call It that though 1t is not usual
" dignified by any title other than
weed.
There is nothing coarse or common
about this flower and it has every ap.
)pearance Of having passed through a
lchaptening process-such as the magic
touch OF the hand OF the wizard Bur-
hank might have given it-and emNg-
ed therefrom, in the highest state Of
cultivation.
II goes generally by the name OF
wild parsntp" but I shall call It
Queen Anne's lace" so well does the
name fit II, and ] doubt II the royal
personage herself ever had any lace
20 ntmsy or OF such exquisite design
and pattern to adorn her regal gar
ments.
dream flower" too so dainty almost
ethereal and shadowy II seems. or II
might well have been plucked from
some fairy garden where 1t would
serve as the daintiest Of frpeks or as
. filmy parasd for the queen Of fairy
land.
Some nifty or more OF the tiniest

these fifty or more threadldke stems
are as many blossoms each in itself a
rerfect blossom and to each Of these

| daanhest blooms each composed OF
some five or six petals so small as to
be barely disceruible.
Underneath each Of these fifty bios

In IT'S support are the most delicate
woven threads, we might almost call
them tracings, and where the flower

frdnged about with these tracings Of

The underneath portion-or wrong

from roadside, field or meadow.
Farmers do not like this flower as It
spreads rapidly and is said to ruin the
soil about it-but surely there must

STATE WINS FOUR CASES
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Tribunal Holds Auto NIny he Conns-

-Four out OF six cases were won by
the Commonwealth of Virginia ycs,cr-
day in decisions handed down by the
supreme Court of Appeals.
One decision. which. IL Is thought
VIII prove far-reachinE in its effect
since ut least two similar cases now
pending involve essentially the same
points. was that which upheld the
right of tho Commonwealth 10 confis-
cate an automobile which had been
used for the transportation OF ardent
spirits without the knowledge of the
owner.
The case in point was that OF car
belonging to Kate L2ndors. Of Rich.
mcnd. which had been used by her son
without his mothers knowledge, it was
claimed in bringing in ninety gallons
OF liquor out of Baltimore OH the occa-
sion of tho car being sent TO Balti-
more for some necessary repairs.
In an opinion written by Judge Whit
tie in the case OF Henry G. Braynt,
charged with the transportation OF
liquor, il was evident that the Supreme
Court thought the man had been suffi-
cicntly punished by the city of Har-
riSonburG in serving thirty days in jai,
and being fined $50 without the State
interfering and giving him a further
fine OF $50 and another month in Jail
for the same oncnse.
