Mother Not Present
at This Christening

What most strikes an outsider al
christenings in peasant Sicily, where
life still hovers around 1925, is the
glorification of the father and god
father at the babys expense, writes a
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun.
If the mother is tactful she stays in
bed, encouraging the assumption that
it is entirely an affair for her hus-
bands family to settle. The father
and godfather swear eternal friend
ship. Indeed to be compare with a
man means that you will not only help
him in trouble, lend him money and
trust his family as your own, but if
necessary will accept his politics.
The compare" gives the father a
silk handkerchief and the mother as
expensive a present as he can afford
usually a coral brooch. Then he pre-
sents three pounds of macaroni, two
pounds of biscuits, two pounds of
coffee and three bottles of Marsha to
the christening feast Perhaps the god
mother will have given the baby a
but more often than not he gets moth
ing. The godmother, in her best shawl,
with the fringe that sweeps the ground,
carries the baby, preceded by a
bustling small girl who hurries in
front with a carafe of water for the
font and cross-stitched towel on
which the priest wipes his hands.
The father and compare" in their
best blacks, join them at the porch
and candles are distributed, the more
candles the better the 'fgura." The
priest asks the godfather if he knows
his Paternoster. and treasured by an
encouraging if inaccurate answer, pro-
ceeds with the christening while the
onlookers fight for candles.
