SUMMERTIME
BY D. C. PEATTIE.
Abundant FlaWers.

1t would be Srth while to name some
cf the hardy and abundant wild flowers
that can stand moderate picking. For
tunately the number Of plants that are
duty-free, in the eyes Of our conscience
officers, is large-quite the opposite Of
the conditions that prevail in Spring,
when we are all flower hungry and al
most every attractive blossom is on the
'verbcten" index.
First of all, we may freely pick asters,
goldenrod and vervain generally. Per
haps an exception should be made of
the New England aster. Then come the
ironwecds, bonesets, black-eyed suCans
and wild coreopsis. Least forbidden Of
all, / suppose is Queen Anne's lace. a
harmful weed to the farmer, a JOY in
any bouquet In the same case exactly
picked ad minimum, / should say. and
don't laUgh--the thistles, many of
which are really very beautiful
I presume, too that nobody would
throw the cloak of protection over any
of the European or other weeds that
haye established themselves here as
wallis But some Of them are very hand
some. Viper's buglcss, for one, is a
thoroughly harmful weed with mag
innocent mowers, which / nave actually
seen in florists windows in New York.
1t is abundant around Fort Myer.
That quaint old garden plant, tansy
now eXiled from gardens and run Wild
is III TIE same class. Mullen is another
waif without protection which, in
Europe whence originally it came, is
grown in gardens most respectfully. and
called American velvet plant" Butter
and-eggs is hardy enough to stand
abuse, and yet so lovely is it l have
often moved it into the gardens; it is
almost as beautiful as snsp5Tagons.
Another harmful weed, with beautiful
flowers, is the hounds tongue, and oc-
oasionally around washington / have
come on a Western wild flower that has
spread here rom the prairie States that
have often put in vases just for the
sake Of Its crimson blossoms. SO dark
they are like old Burgundy This is
the wild four O'Clock, that has estab-
lished itself along the railway lines near
Chevy Chase Lake.

motion. A dog or cat has run into her
trap. or course, the spoke lines are
sticky and the animal Is obliged to
brush and brush the cobweb from its
face. Then Mrs Spider knows by all
the Jerks and pulls that her telephone
saws all wires are down.
If the one trapped Is a graSshopper
and is making a great to do. she rushes
to him and begins throwing ropes Of
silk about him. When he is secured
she begins to dine on him. There are
many times her telephone wires an
nounee that a very medium sized insect
has fallen into her snare. The wires
Just Jingle little She takes her time
to answer this call.
It is wonderful to watch her. She
will hold these wires and tighten them
up or let them out. Along each line
leading to her foot goes message, Just
as clear to her as voice is to us.
when the hunting is over for the
day she lets go her wires and goes
away. AS much mending has to be
done, often the repair work Is accom-
plished at night. 1t is surprising how
much these webs will hold. Often leaves
or sticks will fall in them and hang to
them. This, of course, makes bad
connection. and Mrs. Spider does all in
her power to remove the obstruction. If
it Is too much for her, the careful
operator eats the silk thread and drops
the stick. She rebuilds and mends as
the wires must be intact for clear mes
sages to get across.
It is interesting to watch her when
the message surely says a fine, juicy
locust Is on the line. Well, he was, but
he got away in time. She rushes after
him and tries her best to threw lasso
or tangle him so he trips up and falls
into the lower wires No use--he is too
quick even for her to give him one stab
with her stiletto, and he gets away.
Sadly she mends her wires once more
and goes back into her dark corner. All
eight legs holding to wires. the operator
hopes a promising insect will drop down
into the telephone booth.
There have been times when a whole
swarm Of insects was caught in the
sticky lines. Mamma, indeed The
spider rlshes back and forth. Too
many to handle. she works on those
near her. Some are rolled into a sheet
of silk. others are paralyzed by her lance
and have fallen to the ground. The
web is q wreck, but she has enough food
