Metropoli tan Magazine. Gift fit It.ltitlKIll. Gifts to Infanta on their baptism are of ancient origin. Formerly tho spon sors generally offctcd Kilt spoons to the child. 'J huso spoons were called apostle spoons, because the tlguree of the twelve apostles were curved at the top of the hmi'.lcH. ltlch sponsors gave the complete pet of twelve, whiie for those who voio not no opulent four was cou Hideied the proper number, and poor sponsors would content themselves with offering one. In tho latter case the handle of the spoon generally ex hibited the llgtue of any saint in honor of whom tho culld received Its name. It Is In allusion to this custom that, when Cranmor professes himself to be unworthy of being bponsor to tho young princess, Shakespeare 1n.uk.c3 tho king reply: "Come, come, my lord, you'd cparo your spoons," Tho mug or spoon and fork offering of the piesent day appears as a very dobascd survival of a really beautiful christening offering.
