WEEDING THE STREET: MIDDEEBURG 



In the damp, cool shadow of tree-bordered canals grass springs readily between the 

 stones wherever much traffic or constant watchfulness gives it an opportunity. A frequent 

 penalty for minor offenders against law and order is the weeding of a certain tract of quay 

 or street. Each is provided with a wooden stool and a stout knife and is expected to "hitch" 

 himself or herself along the straight lines of stones, digging up faithfully every green leaf 

 in sight until the quay is clean or the time worked out. In this case all the offenders are 

 women. The man seated by the tree is a guard watching them and their work.
