mond' at his country home In this coun-
" this afternoon, when John Cox,
about seventeen years OF age. son OF
Millard Cox. formerly OF Richmond. but
now of Louisville. KY, was drowned.
The boys had gathered at Valentines
mill pond. which is on the Pollard es-
tate. to while the afternoon away in
swimming. Young Cox attempted to
cross the pond. and when about in the
middle he called for help and sank from
view. It is believed he was stricken
with cramps and rendered helpless.
Another boy. whose name was not
learned. went to his rescue and dived
several times. and himself came near
going to watery grave in his frantic
and futile efforts to rescue his play
mate.
Young Cox. who made brilliant
record in the common and the high
schools OF Richmond. graduated from
the Louisville High School this sum-
mer and won a scholarship. He came
to Virginia to visit numerous rela-
tives. among whom are John Garland
Pollard. Mayor OF Ginter Park, an
uncle; Charles Cox, another uncle. and
Miss Lucy Cox, an aunt, all of whom
reside in Richmond.
The body of the boy was in the water

DR.. Taylor, of Louisa were hastily
summoned, but found they could do
nothing without stomach pump. This
was telephoned for and brought from
Louisa in an automobile, which made
record trip, but 1t arrived too late
TO be of any use.

sorrow among the members Of the
house party, all of whom were the

fortunate boy.

smilax around this glass and lay some

Now fill the large bowl with the
fruit placing the oranges and larger
fruit at the bottom of the bowl and
filling in with rosy little lady apples
and clusters of white and purple
grapes and bananas. Pack these firm
ly against the small glass to make it
firm and fill the glass itself with small

The Christmas Table

10 many table favors of little
huts and houses are to be had
HI nowadays that it is not diff.
cult TO carry out the idea of
table to represent Christmas in
an old fashioned village. This
is. of course. only possible where
long table Is concerned and
sufficient space is available tC
group the set pieces effectively.
Where the dinner table is for
dozen or more covers. however,
this can be arranged to make a
very novel scheme.
The first investment is that OF
sufficient number of little
snowbOund cottages. Some OF
these can be altered easily
enough so us to look a little diff
ferent one from the other. In
front of one white pencil stuck
in whitened cOrk-diamond pow,
dered-can. with little ingenui
ty. be made to represent Il sign
board to face the coaching inn
An advertisement in a pape,
frame will make capital sign,
sprinkled with rhine" to give
the same effect of winter as the
rest
A sheet of looking glass fol
village pond and two or three
tiny toy ducks should occupy
the center of the table. Among
the many set piece cracker dec
orations it is easy, too. to pick
up lanterns to hold Christmas
candles. dovecots, farm wagons
and carts laden with crackers,
} which will add to the realism
of the pantomime scene.

THE AFTERMATH.

wv EVE done our little charity.
NV we've been a little kind.
w We've called ourselves by no
BILE names and boosted
noble mind,
We've preached of the deserving
poor and listened to their plea.
And we are SNUG and satisfied and
proud as proud can be.
This Christmas We at least" we
say. were kind to some poor
soul,''
When the Christmas spirit gripped
us-and we sacrificed dole!
But hearken. We. my brothers all.
and hearken with a will:
The poor are always with US, and
they're broken hearted still.
They're living in their loneliness.
they're living in their pain,
And they're calling. calling, calling.
and they ask your help again.
We gave them cheer at Christmas.
then we made our little bow,
But the winter chill Is with them
still. and who will help them
now?

THE CHRISTMAS TABLE.

Fruit makes q handsome decoration
for the Christmas table. 1t has the adj
vantage of appealing to the palate
after satisfying the eve A pleasing
decoration of this sort Is illustrated
here The fruit is laid in fancy bas-
ket. Clusters Of grapes with green
leaves are suspended from the handle.
Winter pears. red apples. oranges and
bananas are arranged on grape leaves
in the basket. If young grapevine Is
taken into the house in pot before
the leaves fall it will grow all winter
and supply foliage for such occasions.
Rose geraniuM or any green leaves
may be used If grape leaves are not
available.
There is nothing prettier or more ap-
propriate for the Christmas table as a
centerpiece than a pyramid Of fruit.
