LADY NANCE8EL

According to the old Eng
lish ballad Lord LOvel stood
at his castle gate one fine
morning, a-cOmbing his
milk-white steed, W h e n
along came Lady Nanciebel
to wish her lover good
speed! From those ancient
days, when knighthood was
in gorgeous bloom, down to
our own gray days of bonus
and tariff and fOur-pOwer
treaties, Lady Nanciebel has
been d favorite wherever
English rhyme and English
melody have enraptured the
ears of English lads and las
sizes. How appropriate,
then, that the common
wealth of Virginia, a VERT
able daughter Of Old Eng
land, born at the merriest
stage of all its merry his
tory, should reclothe the
shadowy heroine of antique
balladry with the even more
beauteous flesh and lovely
spirit of one of its own fair
daughters, and send her to
the motherland to charm
anew the generations of a
more prOSaic age.
We refer of course to
Virginia's own Nancy
Langhorne, whose spirited
and adventurous maiden
hood has already become
part and parcel of the lore
of legend and tradition in
the Old Dominion. She has
verified divers political
theories long held in doubt

mayed the older school of
politicians by demonstrating
that if you conquer the
hearts of the people--let
who will resort to the colder
processes of the intellect.
