Pomp and a pretty baby girl brought water from the river Jordan and a bishop all the way from Boston to-day for the christening of the wee but important daughter of Mr. and Mr. John Raklios, 6326 Sheridan Road.

Virginia Rose, exactly eight months old, the youngest member of the Raklios household, entered the Greek Orthodox Church as scarcely any other baby ever did.

Little Virginia may not have appreciated the finery, but perhaps even an eight-month old baby can admire a layette as complete as that presented to her by her god-mother, Mrs. Ariadne Lambros.

Bishop Alexopoulos, aided by Father Constantine Demitry and Deacon Michael Masokopakis, performed the ceremony of baptism and confirmation and administered holy communion to the baby girl.

The baptismal font in the drawing-room of the Raklios mansion was decorated with an American flag. To-night there will be an even greater celebration, and two hundred guests will be entertained by Mr. Raklios in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel.
