But when ohe considers the volumes of cards that are + sent at the holiday time, and the meaning that goes, with overy one, it is interesting to know how they originated. It was as far back as 1845, in England, that they were first circulated. Not more than a thousand copies were printed then, but at that time that was considered a_ great many, jpdeed.. They grew in favor so rapidly that the numbers distributed) annually soon in- creased to tens and hundred of thousands, until now there are hundreds of millions of them sent every year. A member of the Royal Academy designed the first card, which represented a family group of three generations, and on it wag this sentiment, “A Merry Christmas and 3a Happy New Year.” t In the decade, 1870-1880, Christmas and New Year’s cards had become extremely popular, everybody sent them. However, the latter day rennats- sance of art was ‘felt then, and the simple card alone did not. satisfy the large growing demand. Embossed cards, those painted by hand with land- scapes, seascapes and floral decorations, private cards printed in different colors and many other kinds were much used. Today, everyone sends Christmas cards. They have become an institu- tional part of our Christmas celebration., To those “not too initmate friends” or acquaintances, whom you would like to remember, you send a Christmas card. And when you stop to think that it is very pleasant to have many re- men,ber you at this joyous time of the year, you will think of that “almost forgotten friend,” and send -him a card of Christmas greeting.

Let every man be fully assured in his own mind.” HAT if every day were Christmas? The suggestion at first blush is perhaps not altogether agree- able. One can imagine numerous protests against the idea because of the excesses to which many goon Christmas holidays. Let it be granted freely iY tpat’ Christmas is misused, that it is often a sea- son of excesses and extremes; even so, who of us would away with Christmas? For despite all the excesses of the holiday season and the hardships it works on many, is there not a rainbow of glory over every recurring Christmas celebration” Christmas is(a season of prophetic idealisnW and a rebuke fo selfish living. At the approach of the anniversary of our Lord’s, birth, men and women whose thoughts have been mostly of self are moyed to. think of others. The idea of serving ethers and making others happy affects even the blase and the indifferent. Somehow the idea that it is more Diessed to give than to bargain finds lodgement in minds unused to tender nd benevolent thoughts. , For a brief period, cruel competitions that so sorely grind human society are legsened if not forgotten. For thg time being, all umanity seems to be one family. There is a delight in seeing everybody joy- ous. The foreigner is made to feel at home. Artificial barriers are broken, end there comes even into hard faces some softening lines. The spirit of Christmas penetrates even behind stone walls, and the prisoner is made to know that he is still remembered and that society has not abandoned { him. , ~ Christmas is the one season of the year when we are especially reminded to take Jesus seriously. The Sermon on the Mount seems practicable then— the beatitudes possible in daily life. Even the great words, “Peace on earth, good-will toward men,” actually appear workable at Christmastide. The old tet so precious, so peculiarly appropriate, John 3: 16, finds lodge- ment in our heart of hearts: ‘“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life-”. There comes into our minds the conviction that we have not taken seriously the lessons that our Lord taught, but that now we take Him at His word; we share, we give, ye sacrifice, we find a new joy growk ing out of these very practical and beautiful ministrations. XMAS POSY PARTY “4 Garden of Flowers’—an ideal scheme this for a fancy Christmas dress party. When the invitations are sent out each guest should be requested to come to “the Garden of Flowers” dressed to represent a flower. Whatever flower is chosen should be intimated to the hostess when accepting the invi tation. For the supper table decoration for this. party, in the center stand a large doll dressed as a rose—the queen of flowers. Im her hands should be fastened as many garlands of baby ribbons, or strings of small blossoms there are guests. Attach little gifts at the other end of the garlands app priate to the costumes of the guests that are to receive them, such as brooches and scarfpins with flowers in enamel, baskets of sweets trimmed with flow: ers,, or pretty cut glass bottles of perfume,’ decorated with blossoms. The ribbons or garlands should be arranged that each small guest finds a cor- responding gift; thus, Violet's present is adorned with the flowers she repre- sents, etc. The menus should be in the form of, flowers or petals: and the lamp or candle shades of rose colored sill. , Why Not Give — Flowers?
