of buying cards in groups Of the same
kind instead Of wasting time, energy
and money In getting a great variety
and then thinking about which to send
to whom. and getting all hot and both
cred about the whole business
One shop IS showing some very
artistic and different looking cardS
that are done In block printed de-
signs, very modern, and with well
chosen wording. They start at 10
cents apiece and include some de-
lightful small calendar booklets
that would fit into purse nicely.
In direct contrast another shop Is
featuring very large and imposing
looking cards with etchingS OF suit
able Christmas subjects.
A NICE place to get cards Is In one
"A of the little shops that are not SO
crowded as the larger stores. One OF
these little gift shops. which Is open
evenings by the way, has q most al
tractive display of cards that are really
different. They include popular box
of Is cards for 81, all designed by a
woman noted for her book illustrations.
They are perfectly charming, and un-
like the usual run Of boxed cards, each
one is really a card that you would be
proud to send BY the same artist Is a
group of cards which may be ordered
from book samples. Some OF the most
delightful Of these are priced as low as
5 cents apiece, but must be ordereo
from New York in quantities OF at least
Is. But think how little that would be
for something worthwhile and different.
Another group of cards of special in
riy,ta fr0m
wood blocks cut by the designers and
then colored by hand. The inherent
charm of wood-block printing can be
obtained in no other way. They run
to bowls of bright -colored fruits and
flowers with candles, and madonnas
and angels One of these Is done IN
gold and bronze and mounted on a
green mat on a heavy white cara.
Another shows twisted tree trunks
against a starry sky, and house nes-
Ting among the snow-clad hills.
Those friends of ours who speak
another language are provided Tor,
too. with quite q selection Of cards
bearing German and French greet
ings An interesting set Of German
cards depicts the scenes from some
charming German Christmas leg
ends, showing a procession 1nclud-
ing the Christ Child passing through
the woods on Christmas Eve when
all the animals are myster1ously
endowed with the power Of speech,
and gather about to worship the

Old Legends of Flight.
Men With Wings.

-M NAME "Dedalus' (also
spelled "Daedalus') means "the
cunning worker" In q legend
about a man who had this
name, we find that he was
clever and skillful though ne was not
such a fine person as we should like TO
think about.
Dedalus was sculptor, and was win
ming fame at Athens when he fell into
a Quarrel, and killed a man. To escape
being punished. he boarded ship ana,
in company with his son, Icarus, sailed
to the island of Crete.
In Crete the sculptor entered the SerV-
ice of King Minos. The King told Nun
to prepare home for the monster
known as the Minotaur; and the result
of the order was the most famous iaoys
rinth ever built. A person who entered
the labyrinth went into one dark, wind
ing passage after another; and 1t was
almost impossible for him to find MS
way out again.
Dedalus likewise built dancing floor
for a princess of the palace, but later
the King became angry with him ana
ordered him into the labyrinth! He
might have died therein his OWN ouh-
geon-if it had not been for the Queen,
who helped him to escape.
After getting free, the Greeks prob.
lerns were only partly settled: He had
to find some way to fee from the island
There was no hope Of obtaining q
boat; so Dedalus decided to fly!
How could a man hy? That was the
question which had to be answered:
Dedalus obtained large feathers and
formed wings. for his son and .,tI himself: ssai:
pair Of wing and fly across the sea TO
Sicilyl But be careful that you do not
get too close to the sun"
The two set out upon their stirring
adventure, Like great birds they rose
into the air. Dedalus few safely to
Sicily: but Icarus rose too high in the
air and wax which had been used co
fasten the feathers together was melted
by the sunlight. The wings fell apart;
Icarus dropped into the sea, ana was
drowned. .
The part of this legend which tells
of two men flying by f1apping wings
must not be true. Men do not nave

bodies by Tapping wings

The question of cards, whether tney

up each year and require careful de-

Probably one Of the most important
things that led to the selection Of Henry
A. Wallace as Secretary Of Agriculture
was the fact that President Roosevelt
wanted In his cabinet for this post a
man who talked the language Of the
dirt farmer.
Wailaces for generations back have
done this.
Ordinary luncheon conversation Of
Secretary Wallace however, at times is
such that perhaps not only dirt farmers,
but others as well, would find 1t difficult
to follow. He expounds the theories Of
