THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
AT THE CHRISTENING

No rule is 90 general. which admits not
some exception.-Burton-
WHERE was a time when babies
were dressed deliberately when
they were christened, whether
this took place In church or at home
The christening robe was very long
and wrought with a number of tucks
and ruffies and puffs. Nowadays
these elaborate christening robes have
quite gone out of style among people
who keep abreast of manners. as they
change In fact the elaborate chris
tening robe looks a little tawdry to
US now and we suspect the mother
who dresses her babe In this way of
being not we'll posted on prevailing
customs.
If you are planning to take your
baby to be christened have it dressed
in simple white dress. This may be
of the finest material and may be
made by hand. but it should be devoid
Of furbelOws. 1t is very nice to have
the baby entirely in white. even to
the robe In which he is held. 1t is
usual to uncover the child's head for
the ceremony but especially If the
church is draughty 1t should wear a
simple white bonnet.
If the child has a nurse II may be
brought to the church by the nurse,
but one Of the sponsors or the god
mother should hold the baby in her
arms when the ceremony begins and
should receive the baby from the min
lister or priest after the ceremony
has taken place.
The question is sometimes asked
whether or not the minister should be
given a fee at the time of the bap-
tism. In some churches there is a
definite fee for this ceremony. Other
wise no fee is really required and
many clergymen rather object TO re-
ceiving any for such services. A tact
full thing then to do is to inclose a
crisp bank note in an envelope and
hand it to the clergyman with the re-
quest that he make use of 1t in some
one of his good works He certainly
could not object TO that The father
of the child should attend to this after
the ceremony.

Farmers Bulletin 1909. Planting and
Care OF Street Trees, just issued by
