GOOD FRIDAY-H. B., Oakland, Cal. Why
is Good Friday so called?
Walsh, in Popular Customs" says:
Good Friday IS the Friday in Holy
Week Instituted in commemoratjon of
the crucifixion of Christ. 1t probably
received the name for the good things
he gained for us by his sufferings and
death A plausible alternative etymol-
ogy, however, would make it a corrup-
tion of Goodies or Gods Friday.
Among the Saxons 1t was called Long
Friday probably on account of the long
lasts and offices used on this day"

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

Cal. Three days ago l sent Tou question and
the answer has not yet appeared in the query
department.
If your query had been the only one
sent to the query department the an
swer would have appeared right away.
But you must consider the fact that
there are others who ask questions.
Questions are answered as soon as the

appear in print in the order in which
turned in. SO each has to wait its turn
to appear in print.
WOODEN wEDDING-A X, City. What
should be the decorations for the room and the
what should be servedg Also, what should be
the entertainment?
Wooden .shavings for decorations on
the table in place of smilax and the
like, wooden plates and wooden forks
and wooden blocks or dishes and
wooden souvenirs What should be
served is matter OF taste and purse,
while the entertainment should be
adapted to the company, that is if it be
composed of old or of young people.
That is matter of taste.
NATIONALITY-JI Ill.,, City What is the
nationality of child born to French parents in
the United States. parents residents, not vls-
ftors; II the child male would he on

The child by reason of~.birth would
be an American and a citizen. AS such

there be drafting for the army.
CROKER-A Subscriber, City In the query
column some days ago you informed sub
scriber that Richard Croker. former Tammany
chief. had forsworn allegiance to the United

self he renounces his allegiance to his
country.
