HISTORY OF VISITING CARD
Became Popular in Europe in Time
of Louis XIV and at One Period
Was Ornamental.

Some authorities hold that the origin
of the visiting card lay in the circum
stance that when Pericles first laid
siege to the heart of Aspasia he sent
her a bouquet to which, fearful lest
she might not guess from whom the
compliment proceeded, he caused to
be attached strip of wood wherein
his name was cut.
According to Bertarelli, who, among
others, has been at much pains to com
pile the history of the card, it is diff
cult to say whether it was first used
in Greece or in China. However that
may be, it seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not
really obtain to any extent in Europe
until the time of Louis XIV 1t
crossed the Pyrenees with Philip of
Anjou when he was installed in the
palace at Madrid, and Louis himself
was the cause of its being introduced
into the Netherlands.
Then it was adopted in Italy, where
It was subjected to much elaboration.
First, the cards showed modest bor-
der of flowers or leaves; then ap-
Deared landscapes, bits of architec-
.ure. allegories, etc. Finally came
scenes Of rural hfa. alternating with

Simple Headache Remedy.

There is a simple remedy for head
ache which can be concocted vii half
lemon, a glass of water, small
teaspoonful of sugar and an eighth of
teaspoonful of baking soda Put the
lemon juice and sugar into. a glass of
water, stir well, then add the soda,
stir again and when it foams nicely
drink the mixture Immediately. This
is an agreeable as well as very ex.
cellent remedy for some kinds of
headache, and certainly is one of the
most harmless.
