CARDS OF VICTORIAN
 INSPIRATION

- q, z < { .lf Y
 If you refuse to recognize the de- pression even enough to laugh at It and prefer to keep up with the Joneses even in Christmas card ;tyle, there is a wide variety of cards of victorian and Edwardian inspiration, than which this year, paradoxical as it sounds, there Is nothing newer in the field of fash ion.
 "A gay bevy of maidens in the tight bodices and voluminous skirts, the puff sleeves and bustles of the era appear on cards which range all the way from sedate design wishing "A Joyous Christ maso. to lightly humorous poses such as tho fashionably-clad dam selsof the '90's who ts All a-bustle to wish you Merry Christmas. or the panteletted maiden who, from m accidental seat in sn0w-drift, announces that she is Just SLIP PIN in quietly to wish you q Merry Christmas
 The same Victorian influence. too, is responsible for a surprising return to popularity of those good old-fasl1ioned Christmas card sym bols--sprigs of holly. Holly of late years, 1t seems, has been just about the only, thing that did not appear on the seasonal missives- least not to any noticeable extent. But this year 1t comes into it's own again. Only of course they do all sorts of different things with 1t. It forms an all-over conventional- ized background to offset . quaint Wintry landscape. It IS used to four-squarc the corners on card. combined artfully with mistletoe. another old-time favor ite.

RELIGIOUS CARDS

f is. --s t J t
 Cards with religious motifs ap- pear this year in greater numbers and wider variety of design than for several seasons past.
 Particularly in favor are the new silhouette or block treatments of the familiar subjects. The Three Wise Men, for instance. are de- picted in gold as they pause under the spreading branches of palm tree. A white card silhouettes three angels in blue against a golden bar of musical notes. A block print in delicate pastels on natural colored parchment shows two youthful angels as they kneel with their lantern at the side of the Holy Babe.
 Religious subjects are used for many of the very large cards for later framing. There are exquisite color prints of the less familiar Madonnas such as the Madonna della Stella of Fra Filippo Lippi. the exquisite Madonna of Andrea del Sarto, and the Gloria in Excel- sis Dec of Lorenzo di Credi. There are also pretentious cards showing stained glass window designs in beautifully blended tones, and the sever-popular etchings of great cathedrals.

FLAMBoYANT ENVELOPES

Envelopes this year. after fam boyantly Haunting their gay-fgured Innings for several seasons past. have definitely gone in for smart simplicity. An occasional envelope for the more pretentious card may line itself with gold or silver or solid color. Colored cards in the new shades may elect an envelope to match. Otherwise envelopes are most apt to be white or cream and unlined.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-12-02


 A new use of color strilkingly cfaracterizes the cards this year. Particularly in evidence is rich new blue. deep and soft yet bright enough 10 combine effectively with gold or silver. One card, for in- stance, 6 framed in a three-inch border of blue spangied with gold and white stars and banded with q narrow bordering of silver. An- other uses it's blue as 8 back ground for a flock of white sii- h0uetted birds sweeping downward across a starry sky while white block letters proclaim Peace on Earth"
 Jade, Russett and Apricot
 Other newcomers to the realm of correct Christmas colors are a clear jade and q warm russet tone that Is almost apricot. These are most frequently used for the solid color background of card. Vivid cerise Is also smart as an occa- sional substitute for the traditional red.
 The popular vogue of making your card a gift in itself IS to a considerable extent responsible for LU9 tIfAVVEAGk GAES Vl lIldlky VL kAG season's smartest cards. Obviously designed for later framing, they are large enough to wish the re. cipient the nerriest Xmas in hiss tory. Generous eight-by-ten pro- portions are a mere commonplace to these gift cards" while some run to twelve -by-fourteen inches or even larger. Others, long and narrow, are admirably adapted to fit into slender wall panel or that dificult between window space.
 The 1882 designs show three out standing groups, each with an in- dividual appeal to contemporary < interest:
 DEPRESSION" CARDS
 There may be a depression on, but MT and Mrs and Miss America are not letting it keep them from exchanging Merry Christmas greet ings. Tn fact the spirit of Yuletidc sticks it's tongue rudely at any economic stringency and proceeds to poke fun at hard times with some of the cleyerest new cards on record.
 For example, there are .. the ..makeshift' cards. One is crudely printed in red on an ordinary paper bag of diminutive size. An- other makes itself a booklet of wallpaper. Others are on wrap- ping paper tied with twine instead of ribbon. Another, folded delib- crately askew, remarks plaintively: "This is an awful looking card. but times have been so dog-goned hard.''
 A second group of depression cards, more elaborate, appeal to the sense of humor with clever line- e-drawings and thumb-nail sketches, using, however, more elaborate treatment on parchment or heavy papers. One jovial ex- ample, headed "A Merry Christ mas Dream, shows on the out side an amusing sketch of a som- nulent gentleman under a much patched quilt, while inside. illus trated by a series of some ten fig ures in appropriate pose, is the verse:
 had a dream the other night
 When everything was still dreamed I gave each friend of
 mine
 A Thousand Dollar Bill! Yes, I was handing out the stuff
 TO each good friend and true. When, darn the luck-they woke Just as I came to you!

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS CARDS

The first Christmas card Is gen. orally credited to an Englishmai. Sir Henry Cole. ifl 1S46. This card was designed by John c. Horsley. an artist and a member of the Royal academy. Within the pasf year, however. a still earlier Ger man Christmas card has come to light in the United States which dates back to 1929. This card bears a steel engraving. hand col- ored, depicting a summer-house interior with an open door show ing a landscape view beyond.
 The sentiment, which is in Ger man, has been freely translated to read: Accept this little leafiet as a symbol of respect and cordiality. many happy returns of the day which now so gladdens you; may every hour be filled with whatever delights your heart. and may satis- faction and comfort always shine out of your countenance."
 The first Christmas cards to be produced in America were made by Louis Prang in 1874.

warmth and sincerity allied to the real spirit of the season. The flip. cynicaliy humorous Christmas sen- timents which crackled on the forerunners of these cards ifl pre- vious seasons are rarely seen this year.
 Young Americas fondness for sport is reflected in many of the modern youth" cards. Ski-j1mp- CTS and football cheer-leaders of- fer appropriate greetings. For the golfer there are golf-stocking cards and deftIy designed and worded booklets. The yachtsman and the horseman, the polo player and the radio enthusiast may all receive cards keyed to their individual hobbies. One generously propor- toned card for the lover of winter sports shows a ski-jumper taking off in one corner while an ice- hockey player shoots q goal down the opposite side, and the lower corners, not to be outdone, dis play respectively bob-sled team and a pair of gay tobogganists. A holly wreath in the center and an irregulariy printed Merry Christ mas complete the design.
 And just by the way, speaking of .hobby'' cards, there are an as- tonishing number which. with ap- propriate symbols. play on the. words Christmas spirit and Christ. mas spirits.
