Uf.SlRE FOR SILK ??? HOSE NOT MODERN Much Appreciated by Roy? Cefi/nn># TIut? l* a popular notion that *l!k ?docking* are u recent voguft, mid one Moincilnu'y hours Ihein Compared rath er deprecmingly with ilie (uhhimis i>(5 our grandmothera.

Until the reign of Henry VIII Mock* tngs wore mado out of ordinary doth, his majesty's own hone bOing of yurd wide taffeta. I/ong before tthis, however, >11 k atocktngs were largely worn on the continent, nnd In Henry Vlll'x time, they were jridlspeusable t?> ilie attire of Spanish courtiers, and In deed of the general aristocracy ?>f Spain. They had, of course, been heard of 'In Knglaud, and were greatly. fcbveted. What Is spoken of hy Il??t famous chronicler, Slow, a* /'a very great ? present'' was'in reality, a gift of Span jal> silk stoeklnga from Sir Thomas Qrcsham to Kdward VI, King Henry's ao?- Latterly, Klnj? Henry himself evinced a decided Weakness for these nether garment* of "shiny texture," ?nd he lost no opportunity of getting a pair across when circumstances were favorable. Again In 1500 we llnd tiie same Sir Thomas Oreshnm writing thus from Antwerp to the celebrated Elizabeth un minister, Sir W'IIHhiii Cecil?"I have written Into Spain for silk hose tioth for you and my lady, your wife; to whom It may please you I may he remembered." The black silk stock ings, Gresham's biographer tells us. duly arrived, much to the gratifica tion of the recipients. Subsequent I roubles with Spain made It Impossible to #et (lie dainty hosiery across, and when Queen Eliz abeth came fo the throne *ilk stock ings were not to he had. tint The queen's silkwoman, Mrs. Montague, was not content that her royal mis tress should go with unsatisfied wants* so she secretly knitted o pair of black ?llk hose and presented thorn to her majesty as a New Year's gift. The queen, of course, was over joyed. Mrs. Montague was immedi ately sent for. courteously thanked, and commissioned to keep her mjkle^ty regularly supplied. "I lik4i-^riJTs lock ings so well,".-she sold, ''bejrjaiso 'hey are pleasant, tin?\ and U^FT'' henceforth I. will wear no tuVf*'* < loth Blockings." And. according to the contemporary gossipcrs, slic never did. It was thus that the fashion was act, and the manufacture of silk stock ings In England Htarted.

Married Camden I ?*d> Tallahassee, Fta., Feb. *28.?'Chief Justice Robert Fenwiek Taylor, for thirty-four years a justice of the .supreme court of Florida, lato today submittal his resignation to Governor John W. Martin and will retire to private life, with full pay under pro visions of, an act of the legislature) passed at the 1923 session. Justice Taylor had been on the supreme QQXpi bench continuously since January 1891, giving him thir ty-four years of service as a justice of the state's court of last resort. Ho was appointed to the bench by Gov ernor Francis J\ Fleming, was elect ed in 1892 and subsequently re-elect ed in iKIW, 1904, 1910, 1910 and 1922 each time without opposition. During his long term he had served twenty years as chief justice, his elevation to that position being by a sort of lot cry peculiar to this court, by which any one of the six justices has an etjual chance to win the coveted posi tion. The retiring justice has a record on the bench that is perhaps unparal leled in the annals of American courts, lie has, according to figures i compiled about two years ago by friends interested in his service on the bench, actually participated in the rendering of more than (J,G20 opinion* written by the Florida su preme court, out of a total number) of a few less than 9,000 made by j that body since the beginning: of the court until the eud of the last bound volume of its decisions. In addition to that* it wan shown that from the beginning of the court until the end of the last bound volume, there have been more than 1,460 memorandum opinions handed down, and in more than 1,150 of them Judge Taylor participated, equalling about 7f> per cent of all decisions made by tho court. Justice Taylor delivered many not able opinions during his service on the supreme court bench, some of them on mandamus ami equity points having been cited extensively by oth er courts and incorporated in text books. Among these, one most fre quently referred to, is the famous case of Northrup against Anderson, found in the thirtieth Florida report, wherein Justice Taylor, thirty-three years ago, held that "xxx the onus of proving knowledge and notice of illegal and fraudulent acts is upon the party who sets up the defense of laches, in the institution of proceed ings to avoid fraud" and "that the time begins to run against a trust only from the time when it is open ly disavowed by the trustee, who in sists upon an adverse right and in terest which is fully and unequivo cally made known to the cestui que THIS WEEK'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE This cross-word puzzle was arranged in Great Bend, Kansas.

Another decision by him, referred to, is found in the &3rd Florida re port, that of the* Atlantic Coast I.ino railroad against Mallard, in which ho hold that circuit judges have the same judicial power outside of their circuit as they have within it, when over the exigency may arise calling for the exercise of such judicial power. It is said of Justin" Taylor that ho never hesitated to take the un popular side of a decision and ire quentiy took upon himself the brunt of displeasure, standing unmoved and unshaken, interpreting and enforcing the laws of the state, and for the constitutional rights of life and lib erty. The lawyers of Florida presented an oilpaintlug of Justice Taylor to the supreme court on April 19, 1923, at which time many members of the bar assembled here to pay him tri bute. ? ' Justice Taylor was bom in Beau fort district, Myrtle Hill, S. C., March 10, 1849, the son of John Morgan Dollar Taylor and Maria * (Baker) Taylor who. was a woman of extra ordinary educational acquirements who moved to Marion county, Flor ida, where the young son received his early educational training through his mother and other private tutors, who prepared him for entrance into the East Florida Seminary. After completing the course there, he at tended the Maryland Miliary In stitute. At the age of 15, he entered the military service of the Confederacy and did not. again take up his studies until he entered the law office of Judge James B. Dawkins, a member of the Confederate congress, at' Gainesville. He began the practice of! law in 1870 with Judge Dawkins,, continued until 1877 after which he practiced alone. Prior to taking his seat on the bench, he was for many years a lead er in Democratic politics of the state, serving many times as county and state central committeeman. In 1885 he was elected a member of the Flor ida state constitutional convention, which framed the. state constitution now in effect and was chairman of the committee on style and arrange ment. Justice Taylor was married in 1872 to Miss Amelia Evpns Haile, who was born at Camden, S. C. They have one daughter, the wife of Associate Jus tice William H. Ellis, of the Florida supreme court. He is a great lover of thorough bred horses and has only recently acquired the automobile riding habit. It was his daily custom, until a few months ago, to ride to and from his office in an unpretentious buggy, with a negro as his driver. It developed today, following Just tice Taylor's resignation, that he is a distant relative of Florida's present governor, both families coming ori ginally from South Carolina and both having married into the old Carolina fahtily of Morgan-D^ Justice Taylor'* .great firrandftH on his mother# side was R^v, ard Kwnnan, founder of PuiitunS versity at Greenville, S.
