of a two-foot fall of snow having worn
off, the people of western Washington

avalanches down the mountain slopes
and release torrents Of water in the
valleys.
Damage caused in Oregon by the
storm was estimated at more than
100000. Seattle schools, it was an

THE CHEEKY CHRISTMAS CARD;
SHORT HISTORY OF ITS ORIGIN
Despite the Individual Opinions of One or Two
Benighted Souls This Form of Sending Hol-

ings. so that many OF ones acquaintance
could not be reached.
The story goes that on one cold Dc.
eember day in London, when the shops
were full OF holiday goods a young artist
sat In his studio, unhappy because no
had not the means to buy even n small
sift to send to some one in far-off India.
But feeling that no must give some
expression to HIS thoughts he idly
sisetched on small card three panels,
suggestive OF the season, with wreaths
or holly and mistietoe.
Thus was born the first Christmas
card
The young artist was none other than
John cailcot Horsley, who twenty years
later became n member OF the Royal
Academy.
II cannot be denied that the custom
is pretty one. In these busy times
very few Of us could write lengthy letters
TO all Of our friends; the list would have
TO be so pared .Iown that many would be
dropped OF entirely.
There may he some one with whom
we havo had misunderstanding, yet at
this season we summon courage and send
him or her a card, both of us feeling
better for so, doing.
