man takes his place beside the
table and the baby is brought in
by the godmother Cor by the
baby's mother or father if there
is no godmother or godfather. E.
The ceremony takes place as at
the church.
If the ceremony takes place at
the church, usually the guests are
invited to the home of the parents
for an informal social hour. And
after the home ceremony, which
usually takes place in the middle
of the afternoon, tea is served.
The menu is the usual one for
an afternoon tea.
Usually the godmother holds
the baby in her arms during the
christening. Often, too, she is
the one who repeats the baby's
name to the clergyman. She
should make a special point OF
pronouncing the name very dis
tinctly.
Some denominations have rules
about the number of godparents
In some faiths, boy is supposed
to have two godfathers and one
godmother, a girl two godmotherS
and one godfather. Sometimes
there are no godparentS.
Sometimes there is only one, q
godmother or a godfather. But
usually there is a godmother and
a godfather. If there are no rules
about this in your faith, you may
do as you or your husband wish.
There is a formality about all
church ceremonies, but there are
usually only a few guests at a
christening, either one held in
church or in a home.
Only relatives and intimate
friends are invited; sometimes
only the parents and godparentS
go to the church. And the social
hour at the home after a chriSten-
ing is informal.

Presumably, she's 0. X. on the

she is very jealous. We are not

GGKNOCKOUT CHAMPS" will
IN be welcomed by any boy on
your Christmas list, from two
years to 70. It's the most fasci-
mating little toy you've ever seen.
There's a ring, complete with
ropes, and two small champs"
ready to fight. Wind the toy, and
start the champs by pressing a
lever. Each time a fighter Is
knocked out the bell will ring,
and the toy will stop. To start
the next round, you press the
lever again. The champs will
fight five or six rounds with one
winding. It's a good betting game
for grown-ups, as they can select
their champ and place bets, and
it's equally amusing for children.
It sells for CSC.

From many of the foreign
countries come ideas for merry
Christmas. Certain sections OF
oUr own United States have
traditional foods.
From the land of the poinSet-
tia comes the idea for Sugared
Walnuts in Grapefruit Shells. The
whole shell of the grapefruit is
candied and then filled with
candies or nuts. They make lovely
gifts too, wrapped in red and
green transparent cellophane.
According to the true Christ
mas tradition there must be sugar
plumS. These date back to the
time when the first dates came
from Arabia. They were from
the biblical lands, we're priced on
the day dedicated to the memory
Of the birth of the Christ Child.
Today the large dates came
from many other parts of the
world but special significance

traditional and may be stuffed
with nutmeatS, fondant, fruit
paste, or marShmallowS. To sugar
them, shake a few at time in a
bag with granulated sugar. Col

SUGARED WALNUTS IN

size, wash carefully. Break the
oil cells by grating lightly on a fine
crater. Cut slice from the stem

minutes, drain. Repeat until the

Beauty
BY DONNA GRACE

We believe it is always advisable
to see a physician when there is
any tendency to a chronic intlam-
nation, but the modern skin Spe-
cialiSts assure us it is in no sense
a blood infection, but merely a
functional disorder and retained
secretions in the sebaceouS glands.
The trouble in many cases is
caused by undernourishment or a
faulty diet, but we believe if the
skin is kept healthy and thorough
ly clean, its normal function will
enable it to resist and become
immune to such disorders.
Never touch the face with your
hands unless you are sure they
are Surgically clean. Hands, and
especially the nails, may be a
source of infection when there is
any skin LESSONS. Absorbent cot
ton in little squares or pads is a
desirable means of applying all
lotions.
Never massage the skin when it
is infected, as we know the capil-
laries are very fine and can carry
a spread of the infection. We have
a routine that we used successfully
for a number of years in our own
beauty school, and thousands of
our readers have told us it relieved
the trouble. It is a simple rou-
tine that can be done at home
and will cost only a few cents. It
may be the means of clearing the
skin so there will be no tendency
to acne. Then there is q formula
that is also very effective, and
there have been so many requests
for it of late we are going to print
it here so you will not have to
write for it. Any druggist can put
it together for you.

The sermon preached by Pastor
Ma IN last Sunday was one of rare
pNer containing many adDlni-
lions as to how to conduct ones
life and be successful. The speaker
said: at is not the man who strives
for financial gain through crooked
schemes, regardless of W h a it
might mean to the other fellow,
but the man who does the best he
can at all times for the bettermenL
OF his fellowman and the glorifica-
ton Of God-who is the successful
man. The really successful man is
measured by his contribution Of
helpfulness to mankind and by his
godly attachments"
Next Sunday morning, h last
Sundays sermon will be closely
followed as a connecting link in
the series All are invited TO hear
Rev. McLin. He is a forceful and
eloquent speaker.
