LA PRINcEssE LoINTAINE.

Over the waters and far away
There is land that the sailors
know,
Where the tall white lilies forever
sway,
And the crimson roses forever blow;
And the seamen, pushing their ships
from the strand,
In song have called it the Far-away
Land.
Only the destined prince can reach
G The land and city of PARKWAY,
And wed the princess, and rule
And waiting his coming the portals
stand
Welcoming wide in the PARKWAY
Land.
The roses sleep on the dreaming
walls,
The fountains nod in the hyacinth
beds,
The warm wind signs thru the silent
halls
Where the courtiers are bowling their
sleepy heads.
With her cheek at rest on her slender
The princess waits in the PARKWAY
Land.
Ship after ship with its swelling sail
Slips away with the wind and the
tide,
Daring with eager prov the gale
On nameless waters afar to ride.
With sails full set and tiller in hand
Eeach of us seeks for this PARKWAY
Land.
But some stop off at the Fortune
Isles
And eat of the lotus, and so forget,
And only remember their quest at
whites
When the heart is sick, and the
cheeks grow wet.
For the flash of an instant they I'M
derstand
And weep for the love of their Far
away Land.
You who follow her sweet lips call
over the waters and over the sea,
Tho the days of your life like the
leaves may fall
While you wander and long for the
love to be
Fairier than you, even. understand,
She is waiting for you, in the Far
away Land.

name Of the little stranger, or that
which will be given him, for frequent
ly these announcements are sent forth
before the christening.
Immediately upon getting these
cards near friends call at the house to
leave their own cards and perhaps a
gift of flowers for the baby and moth
er. but unless urgently requested by
some member of the family to do 50,
they do not expect to see the new
born baby and his mother. Gentlemen
call up the father over the telephone,
or drop in at his business place to
offer their congratulations these in
variably sending their respects to the
mother.
Baby's first appearance at a fash
ionable function is on the occasion of
the christening. and If this is to be in
a church there is generally very i'm
pressive ceremony, with a house re-
ception afterward.
The font and chancel Of the church
are prettily, but not deliberately, deco
rated with flowers. pink and white, or
all white, being the rule for these. At
the proper hour the relatives and

At the head of the aisle the moth

one) walks after the nurse, followed

nurse and hands II to him and on re-

day of the christening to the persons
who will officiate.
If no home Inequalities are to be
offered the persons present at the cere-
mony and the parents linger a moment
in the vestibule of the church to re-
ceive congratulations.
1t is the smart thing to serve a
regular breakfast or luncheon after
a christening, although cake and wine
are sufficient. The menu of the meal
must be simple, and the christening
cake and wine form the last course or
dessert. The cake may be made even
loVelier than q childs birthday cake.
There is generally a white icing, with
a lacy trimming at the edge and
central ornament of some sort. One
cake seen recently had the top cover
ed with pink candy rosebuds and
green stems and leaves, these strewn
over carelessly. The little temples put
at the top of wedding cakes are also
appropriate and the tiny confectioner's
candles may be used in regular birth
day way. The number of these must
signify the days or weeks of the childs
life. The mother cuts the cake, pass
ing the first bit to the clergyman, who
is always asked to be present.
After the feast the mother may show
off her darling once more If she wishes
and also display the little gifts he has
received. The presents of the sponsors
are always more important than those
of other friends, and the father gives
the nurse a special gift for the day
