Richard Code Of Cornwall, Eng, born
about 1860, was ancestor OF the family
in America, his direct descendant, John
Goode, being the settler. He came to
Virginia prior to 1861, and his name is
put down "John Goode, gentleman"
This means that his ancestors had been
freemen and that he was entitled to
coat-armor. There was no question of
race suicide in those early days, John
being blessed with a bakers dozen Of
children. He owned valuable prop
erty, and by his will left to seven child
rem, both sons and daughters, 1000
pounds of tobacco each. Less generous
provisions was made for four daughters,
who received only one shilling each. The
present site of Monticello was owned
by Bennett Goode, who married Martha
Jefferson, aunt Of Thomas Jefferson.
The family had it's representatives in
the Indian wars, the revolution and the
war of 1872. Samuel Goode, neighbor
Of Patrick Henry, and Edmund and
# John Goode were in the revolutionary
& army; also Colonel Robert Goode Of Vir-
ginia. Colonel Goode was a man Of
Influence, and one Of the planters whose
characteristics have been depicted in
The Virginians.'
It is recorded, as something which
may have a certain interest to his pos
terity, that he built one Of the first ice
houses in the United States at his home,
Whitby, apd that it was in the shape
Of an egg, with the small end embedded

Singeing is the best treatment for
split hair. Get couple Of wax tapers,
put d towel over your shoulders, let
your hair down and seat yourself in
front Of mirror. Divide the hair into
several parts, according to it's quantity,
and subdivide the parts again into
twists about the thickness Of the middle
finger. Continue to wind the twists
until they. are quite tight and smooth,
when the broken ends will spring out.
Run a lighted taper from one end to
the other, at a distance Of about one
and one-haf inches from the hair. It
is far safer to experiment on the back
Once month is frequent enough for

Betty can take them down every night
and put them in cool dark room which
prevents them from drying out SO
quickly. She used a lot Of southern

pensive than the pine, as it goes farther
and is SO much more effective for
wreathing pictures, chandeliers, win
dows and doorways. In the arch be-
tween the Hvingroom and the dining
room hang three Of the red paper
Christmas bells, which are a decorative
novelty for this season. They cost
from Is cents for the smallest size to
dollar for the largest, and, as Betty
said, they would last forever, barring
accidents.
