Origin of the Christmas Gard.

Origin of the Christmas Card.
christmas cards! Why it seems as
though they must have been used ever
since there was a Christmas. But,
really, it was only quite recently that
tney came into fashion. Three men
claim the honor of Lhoir invention:
The Rev. Edward Bradley, better
known as Cuthbert Bede. ]. c. Hors-
ley, R.A., Cuthbert Bede had some
cards made and the late W. c. T.
Dobson, R.A., just for his own pri-
vate use In 1854, and two years later
his printers put some on the market
for sale.

Giving.

VISIT FROM
ST. NICHOLAS

Twas the night before Christmas when all through
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug IN their beds,
While visions Of sugarpllms danced through their
49,. heads;
And Mama in her kerchief and in my cap
Had just settled our brains for long winter nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter
| sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window fed like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick
knew in moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name.
"Now, Dasher now, Dancer! now, Prancer! and
Vixen! '~ ..@ ...... .... ..
On, Cometl on, Cupid! on, Donder and Bltzen!
To the top Of the porch! To the top Of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away, all!''
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys and Saint Nicholas too
And then in tyinkling heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
L.
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with abound
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes and,
soot
A bundle Of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like pedG!sr just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they twinkledl His dimples, how
merry! as-
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like cherry
His droD little mouth was drawn up in bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump Of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encrcled his head like wreath;
He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when he laug he'd like bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, right jolly old elf,
And | laughed when saw him, in spite Of myself.
A wink of his eye and twist Of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, butwent straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew like the down Of thistle;
But heard him exclaim ere he drove Out Of sight,
"Mery Christmas to all, and to all good night.

Puzzle Pictures.
Pretty pictures taken from maya
zines, advertisements and discarded
picture books are cut up into several
pieces and placed into envelopes. A
good idea is to write the same mum.
Der on the back of the envelope and
all pieces belonging to one puzzle. SO
that if piece gets mixed with the
! others it can be readily returned to its
own set
Each child is handed a puzzle, and
as soon as he succeeds in placing the
pieces in their proper position he is
given credit for 1t by the score
keeper and receives another puzzle
to work with. The one who succeeds
in putting together the most pictures
in stated time receives q we'll
earned prize.
SnowbaIls.
This is an amusing game. Snow
balls made of cotton batting and COW
cred with white tissue paper and a
small basket are required The play
ers stand about eight feet from the
basket. The one who losses the most
balls into the basket is the prize win
ner. Each child might be given
three snowballs to start with
A Christmas Spider Web.
Take as many balls of twine as
there are children expected at the
party. To one end of each ball attach
a card bearing the child's name and
to the other end an inexpensive gift.
Twist the Irvine around the different
objects in the room. Give each child
the Irvine and card bearing his name.
At signal all begin to unwind the
entangled web. Great is the fun and
loud the EXPLANATIONS when the
young people arrive at the end OF
their string and find a gift awaiting
them.
A Pop Corn Party.
II you don't mind the "muss." and
of course you won't, have a pop corn
party. Have the children sit In a
circle on the floor and provide each
with bowl of popcorn, a needle and
some coarse white thread Tell them
that the one who strings the longest
popcorn chain before the time is up
will win the prize. Each youngster
takes home his own string of corn.
An Impromptu Entertainment.
When the children are tired of romp-
ing, let them sit on the foor in
circle and tell them you are going
to have an entertainment, and that
each child must do something to help
make it a success. The youngsters
will provide variety of numbers for
your impromptu program, from nurs-
cry rhymes to fancy dancing.
Artists.
Bring in good sized blackboard
and have the children see who can
draw the best Santa Claus. This will
afford much pleasure for the little folks.

That's just the man of it. l don't see
why he couldn't have waited little
while. Let me see. suppose I'll have
to get him a fob or something like
that, now
1t was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife, after dinner, saying:
"Oh, Juliet, | want to show you a
fob that l bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for a
long time"
Jullets enthusiasm over it was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap.
pened to glance at his scarfpin and
new joy sprang up within her. She
would get him scarfpin for Christ

one. anyway.
BY the way, DEAR" said Allison the
next evening, 81 bought something to-
Jay that I'd like to have you look at"
OF course, it was scarfpin. Juliet
knew it would be the moment she saw
the tissue paper package which he
fshed out of his vest pocket. She pre-
tended, with brave heart, to think it
was very pretty, but she fancied that
she could have made a better selection
If he had only permitted her to have
the chance.
"Oh. WE'LL she replied, as she was
letting down her hair that night, II

On the following afternoon one OF
Sellum, Chargit & Co.'s delivery wag
ons was stopped in front of the Allison
residence, and Juliet, looking out at
the boy, who, with a good-sized par
eel was coming toward her, said. ad
dressing nobody in particular:
"Allison?" asked the boy with the
package.
Yes"
well, of ali things!" she exclaimed,
after opening the bundle "A smoking
Jacket"
At the Office Allison had told the
boys of the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things in
the shape of Christmas presents for
him, and it was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.
Christmas was only a week away
and Juliet lay awake long time
that night trying to think what present
she could get for her husband. There
were the new books, but he had in
formed her that he didn't want books
They mad all the standard works in the
library, and he never read any of the
modern novels. All, happy thought
