FELICIA.

of her name. She is the feminine

agnomen assumed by any individual at

ner of words and names signifying
good fortune in modern languages.
There are eleven masculine saints
by that name in the Roman calendar,
and Felice, the feminine; first appears
IN Italy, Spain and the south Of
France. From Felice have come Fe-
icia in England and-Felise in France.
There was Felicia who was queen of
Navarro in 1867 The old Romans had
Goddess of Happiness whom they
called Felicitas. The s1ave-martyr of
Carthage who suffered with st. Per-
petua was so-called, and there was an
other Felicitas under Antonius Plus,
who, with her seven sons, presented a
christian parallel to the mother in the
Maccabees. !:
Through the votaries of the young
slave-martyr Felicia became popular
in Italy, and this same character lis re-
sponsible for the rise to favor of Fell
cite in France. Faustina is an Italian
form Of the same name, but has never
had popular favor. Felicia has always
been the favorite form in English
speaking countries, though Felicity
was much used among the Puritans,
and still prevails in religious commu-
mites. <, - 81. i. s@ T.. = HI: ~ !

COMMUNITY WORK
OF RED CROSS
Chapters Show Splendid Work
Soldier Work and Health.

Red Cross membership in the 81
Chapters here in Minnesota shows a
total of 110,273. The strength of this
enrolment proves the value Of the
service which the various Chapters
are rendering in various sections Of
the state.
With the opening of the Fifth An
nual Roll Gallon Armistice day-the
work which these Chapters have been
carrying on is of special interest to
the membership, past, present, and fu-
ture. First in Importance are the &C
tfvities in behalf of ex-soldfers.
During the past year $4,000 has
been expended by Minnesota Chapters
in this work. Ex-service men to the
number Of 22,324, have been assisted
In obtaining hospital treatment, voca-
tional education, and in securing addi-
tional compensation and allotment
from the government. The majority
Of these men are the heads Of fam
lilies. Many of them have developed
various disabilities which have unfit
ted them for earning a living.
The American Red Cross is expend-
Ing nationally $10,0OO,OOO a year to
help ex-service men and their families.
This work includes the same type Of
service as that rendered by the local
Chapters here in Minnesota
Other activities of the Red Cross
along health lines are supplying a vi
tai service in the different communi-
ties. During the past year, 1O8"public
health nurses have been employed by
Red Cross Chapters in this state. The
entire enrolment of Red Cross nurses
from Minnesota is 1910 In case Of
necessity these nurses are equipped
according to Red Cross standards for
service in war or emergency. Great
interest has been shown in the health
program-especially the instruction
in Home Hygiene and Care Of the
i sick:
received certificates from the 255
classes held in every section through
out the state. In the northern Sec
ton, among the sparsely settled dis
tricts, where railroads are few, many
women have walked miles to attend
these classes. Instructors and public
health nurses frequently cover miles
Of territory on foot to reach these
classes and the schools.
A number Of Life-Saving classes
have been conducted throughout the
state. Seventy-three persons have
passed the Red Cross examination and
are members Of the Life-Saving Corps
The Junior Red Cross program in
Minnesota has created much interest
throughout the Central Division, of
which this state is a member. In the
last school year there were 2,196 Ju-
nior Auxiliaries enrolled with mem
bership of 126196 children,
Every person in the state will have
an opportunity to support the Red
Cross program and assist the CHAPTERS
in carrying on this work by renewing
their membership during the Roll
Call, which opens on Armistice day
and continues until Thanksgiving.
Memberships will enable each of the
81 Chapters to carry on it's commu-
\ nifty service and increase it's useful
y ness.

THE WIDEAWAKE STAR

there are SO many of them-and he

No rule is so general, which admits not
some exception.-Burton.
TT HERE was 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 number of tucks
and ruffles 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 a 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. It is
usual to uncover the child's head for
the ceremony but especially if the
church is draughty it should wear a
simple white bonnet
If the child has a nurse it 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 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-
cefving 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 it 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. r.
