Babes Wear Ribbons

Mrs. Wilson, the happy mother, was
attired in the white lace robe she wore
at the christening of the first triplets,
which event marked the china wedding
OF the parents. The little triplets wore
the christening robes used for the first
babies, of white linen null, deliberately
trimmed, huge bows Of red, white and
blue ribbon reaching to the bottom of
the dresses.
Rev. b. f. Boiler, pastor Of the OliVet
Congregational church, made an in
teresting address in christening the
children, first with their Christian
names and then again with their love
names. In the latter part of the cere-
mony he spoke feelingly Of the signifi-
canoe of the names, likening them to
the living emblems of the grand old
men who fought in the war Of the re-
bellion. speaking of the significance OF
each name. In the latter part of the
ceremony he placed upon the fingers OF
each a tiny gold ring, with the name
engraved on each, which were the gift
Of M. r. Thomas. The little ones also
wore minia ture lockets, the gift o.

the family. Rev. and Mrs. William
Davies acted as sponsors for the little

pleasant coincidence for the parent:
was that Rev. Mr.. Boiler was an init
mate friend OF Rev. Sydney Strong, who
christened the first babies.

The magic number OF three, which
seems very popular with the Wilson
family, was used at the christening of
the triplet babies OF w. w. and his
wife, c.. V. M. Wilson, at their pretty
home, 1926 East Forty-ninth street,
yesterday afternoon. The names, fol-

been spent by the parents, proved odd,
being Iona Beryl for the little girl,
Loren BAIL and Leonard Beren, the
two boys in addition to their regu-
lar names, Charity, Loyalty and Fra
ternity, respectively, as love names.
The pretty home yesterday had been
transformed into a bower of red, white
and blue beauty, in honor Of the Ladies
of the G. A. r., of which Mrs. Wilson
is prominent officer. At the birth of
the first triplets they were given love
names in honor of the Odd Fellows,

babies were named in honor of the

Dainty flower petals floated on the
water which was used in the chrlsten-
ing. The flags formed a frieze above
the holdings in the reception rooms.
The altar flag of Columbia circle was
draped in one corner of the front par
lor. on either side of which were fes-
toons of red, white and blue bunting.
Three huge Gala lilies, with their green

to the guests, were draped in ribbons in

Fe train tomorrow morning for the
scene of the conflict with Occidental.

a strained ligament and probably will
not come up to scratch in the broad

poses-horse to be shown first to an
appropriate vehicle; to be then un-
hitched in the ring and judged under

did not believe that the two types

was well taken and he passed it up to
the executive committee of the asso-
citation to decide on which type his
judgment should be passed.
Committee Differs
After a controversy by the executive
committee, in which there was a diff
