Follow the Rules
When Addressing
Christmas Cards

How do you address Christmas
card to a widow A divorce? A
business acquaintance? Here are
some tips on cards:
Generally speaking, greetings fan
into two classes, formal and infor-
NAL If you use printed or engraved
cards for formal use, the title Miss,
Mr., or Mr.. and Mrs. should pref
erably appear above the greeting.
For instance: Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Stanyon wish you a Merry
Christmas" rather than "a Merry
Christmas from Mr.. and Mrs. Thorn
as Stanyon.
On informal cards, signed in ink,
the husbands or wffe's name should
come first. although ordinarily the
person signing would put his own
name last. In general the hls-
bands name comes first. These can
be signed Bob and Betty" or Bob
and Betty Bentley" depending on
how wen the acquaintance knows
you.
No card should ever be sent with
out a Mr.. Mrs. or Miss prefix. An
unmarried woman is always adj
dressed as Miss" A married
woman. whether her husband is
alive or not, is addressed with
Mrs" prefixed to her husbands
fun name. Since woman's maid
en- name is used only on legal pa
pers or when she uses it profession.
ally, divorcee's maiden name may
be used If it's been established by
legal procedure.
Cards to married couple should
be addressed Mr.. and Mrs, even
though you may know only one Of
them. II It's q business acQuaint-
ance and you haven't met the
recipients wife. it's permissible to
send the card in his name only.
Business addresses are quite all
right. though there's q bit more
courtesy and more personal touch
to find out the home address and
send the card there.
A family In mourning may send
and receive Christmas cards as usr-
al unless the bereavement Is very
recent-within the last two or three
weeks.

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
Christmas

Christmas, Chrst's birthday is again here
For which the world celebrates with Yule tide cheer
For His presence is always near
When we remember our thoughts to keep clear
Why was Christ lowy born?
Not ushered in by bare of flute or horn,
Like other earthly majesties had been
His birth in stable inn.
His earthly entrance among the born,
Did not stop them to disregard and scorn
His real purpose since nothing could deter
His mission when prosecuted with thorns and slur
AS we gain clearer thought each year,
We think less of material celebration here
Realizing that symbols only demonstrate
The outward sembance which helps spirtuay's state
This birthday holds out to all mankind,
The answer that right here we'll find,
The soace due us when we daily exemplify
The patient Christ when continually try
Each year that Christmas comes, there should be
A deeper meaning-set souls free
From trivialities that dwarf our progress
For love isn't manifested when continually dgress
Christ blazed the way for us to go,
He did it without pomp show,
Demonstrated that good deeds hold first place
Which is for as to remember as a race.
