ORIGIN OF VISITING CARDS.
It Is tho Cinnamon Who Set the Fashion
of Social Pastebosrds.
Toronto Times

OF Social Paste boards.
Toronto Times.
As is the case in many other instances
we owe tbs invention OF cards to the Chi
nese. So long ago as the period of the
Torg dynasty (6l8 9O7) visiting cards were
known TO be in common use in China, and
that is also the date of the Introduction OF
the ":ei silken cords which figure so
coDspiCuously on the engagement c'rds OF
that county. From very ancient times to
the present day the Chirese have observed
the striCtsst ceremony with regard to the
payipg of visits The cards which they
are fer this purpose are very large, and
usually Of bright red color.
When Chinsmsn wishes TO marry, his
parents intimats that fast TO the pro.e;-
si9ual "mstch maker" who thereufoo
runs through the list of her visiting
acuuaintanCes, and selects one whom she
considers q fitting bride fer the young
mau; aud then she calls upoa the young
wumsn's parents, armed with the bride
grcom's card, on which are inrcri6ed his
ancestral name and the eight symbols
which denote the date of his birth. II the
answer is an acceptance of his suit, The
brides card is ssDt in return; and should
The oGaclss prOphesy good concerning the
union, tic particulars of the engagement
are written on two large cards, and these
are tied together with the red cords.
