Show GIRL IS CHRISTENED ON LOUIS' FLAGSHIP NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Little Louise Beatrice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Chad wick of Ninth avenue, has the distinction dis-tinction of being: the principal of the first christening; to occur on the Drake, flagship flag-ship of Prince Louis of Battenberg. Louise Beatrice is 6 weeks old and she cried lustily all unconscious of the honor conferred on her both in the christening and In the fact that she was given the names of the two sisters of the King. Christening was celebrated yesterday in the gun room of the six-inch amidships guns of the starboard battery. Prince Louis was to have stood up as godfather, but his Sunday was so full of social engagements en-gagements that at the last moment he had to decline, and his coxswain, Albert Manns, was godfather In his stead. The great silver cup won by the crew of the Drake in a marksmanship contest served as the font, and Chaplain Robinson of the ship officiated. |
