Derby, when the Earl went to England
to join the royalist army, William was
accused of treason and beheaded. His
memory is kept alive by the ballad

of the alliance of the Holy Grail and

Founders of the Christian family in
this country We're William, Isidor and

In Virginia. The family was large and

married with the families of Presidents

Patrick Henry. Emily Christlon, a
Virginia belle and beauty. was the
the toast of two generations. Famed

who married De jeffrey Palmer.
AS well as fair women, the family
has its share of brave men. In war
many were conspicuous for bravery
! gallantry and devotion to duty. Gen.
, William Christian, friend of Washing

Christmas was a famous numismatist.
Late In life he changed his name to
Noel-Fearn. the latter being his
mothers name.
The Christian arms reproduced are
azure, a demi-mascle, between three
covered cups or crest, uniforms
head erased, argent. armed and
gorged with a collar invoked or
motto. Salus Per Christum. These
arms are singularly appropriate 10 the
name. A mascle Is the mesh Of a net
which in Holy Writ is the hierogly-
phic for persuasion, whereby men are
induced to virtue and godly living,
and so may seem, after some sort, to
be caught. The covered cups refer
to the chalice used in the Communion
service. The unicorn is the symbol OF
virtce, strength and extreme courage.
The Christmas arms reproduced are

VEST POCKET DINNERS.
why the Capsule Meals Will Hardly
Achieve Popularity.
From the Housekeeper.

From the Housekeeper.
It is said that a German student Of
food concentration has succeeded SO
well with his experiments that a sim
gle small capsule now sufiices for a
full meal, and that ten seconds is the
average time he spends at either his
breakfast, luncheon or dinner. The pre-
diction is freely made that within a
few years we shall all be subsisfing up
on capsules, there will be no more cook
ing in our households and the servant
problem will be solved most beautiful
ly. or course, under these conditions,
there would be no more public dinners
or banquets of state. our caterers would
be thrown out of employment, and the
gerat hotels would become simply DOR
mitories. We would buy our meals at
the drug stores and carry them In our
pockets. The sign Quick Lunch"
would disappear from our streets. for
we could all be walking restaurants.
Whatever the possibility OF such a
condition from a scientific standpoint,
there Is not the slightest danger Of its
realization within the lifetime of the
present generation. Most OF us, to be
frank. are too fond of eating and drink
ing TO be content with capsule repasts.
however convenient as time-savers. The
element OF sociability too. must be
taken into consideration. The gather
ing Of a family about the table three
times a day adds immeasurably to hu-
man enjoyment. IL is the place OF all
places where good cheer should prevail.
There are sufficient influences at work
for the destruction Of home life In these
busy days without adding one more.
We fear the food capsule will be a
long time achieving the popularity at
present enjoyed by beefsteak and po-
tatoes.

Another plan is to buy inexpensive

every guest will prize the dainty re-

home as a trophy of the social season.
