Show Greeting Cards First Used in Victorian Era The custom of tending greeting card It i ertiap the youngest member In the family at Christma traditions, although the ideal vai expressed by the Exeeljfis Deo of the angels. Until authorities at the British museum recently discovered a drawing depicting four scents at holiday celebration early Victorian st)!e dated 1842. J. C. Horsley was with having created the first commercial Christmas card in 1813. The 1812 creat.on was rn elaborate affair. Drawn by V. M.

It is impossible to say whether or not Mr. Horsley was aware of Edg ley'a masterpiece, but Horsley had a friend, and thereby hangs the tale. Sir Henry Cole, a man with many friends, was confronted by the task of sending them a cheery holiday greeting. The quill pens in use a century ago sputtered and were irritating, so Sir Henry spoke to Horsley about the matter. Horsley, a member of the Royal Academy in London, was agreeably impressed and turned out an appropriate design inscribed simply, "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You." Edglcy and Horsley made beginnings. According to research authorities the custom was taken up In America about 30 years later during the 1870s when Louis Prang, a Boston lithographer, printed a catalogue of Christmas cards. No matter whether the greeting is the elaborate descendant of Ethdey's drawing, or a simple good wish offered in friendship as worked out by Sir Henry and Horsley, or the glcfrious echo of the angels enunciation, send that Christmas card to the boy in the service and to his loved ones keeping faith at home.

A temporary increase in the supply of beef and pork, resulting from the seasonal rush at slaught er houses, caused the slash in the value of meat points, the board said. The peak period of beef as well as pork production normally occurs during the last two months of the year. Fairly sharp increases in the point values for all types of cheese and major canned fish items were registerde. Both butter and margarine remain at the unchanged point value of 16 points and six points per pound The in increase respectively. cheese points reflects a sharp seasonal decline in November which fell an estiproduction, mated 25 per cent under Ocotber.

In fact, she already has her hands on it. And that smile on her face comes as close as anything could to denoting complete satisfaction with conditions in general. Hearty Eating Cheered English at Christmastide In old England they had many dishes which we seldom hear of now. There was frumenty, a dish made of wheat which is still sometimes served in Yorkshire, ale posset, and carroway Shropshire "wigs, buns dipped in ale. Yule doughs or "dows were eaten everywhere, and in Coventry they made their famous Godcake. Tansy, too, was a favorite This was made with eggs dish. and cream, flavored with the juice of tansy, an extremely bitter, aromatic herb. In addition there was Christmas brawn, connynges in gravy, and a host of dishes that have since died out. Christmas was never a national festival in Scotland, but at this period of the year new sowens were always eaten. These were made from the husks and siftings of oatmeal mixed with molasses, and to all accounts were delicious. Mince Pies for Luck Thats British Tradition One of Englands gay Christmas traditions centers around its delectable mince pies. It seems that each mince pie eaten between Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night will ensure a whole month of good luck in the coming year. That works out to just about a pie a day for 12 days, to cover the cala stunt that would endar year seem more likely to cause chronic dyspepsia than good fortune.
