South Americans
Celebrate Feast in
PICTURESQUE WAY

The children of Latin America
learn about Santa Claus only through
the radio programs from North
America. Yet Christmas for them
is not lacking in gaiety and not lack
ing in gifts.
But the beneficent visitor, instead
of being the jolly, rotund Kris Krin-
gle, is Gel Nino Dios-the Christ
Child-assisted by Los Reyes Magos
the Magi Kings.
While the children of North Amer
lea are hanging up their stockings on
Christmas eve, their neighbors below
the Rio Grande are setting out care
fully made little beds of grass or
straw, which Ell Nino Dios will fill
with toys and candy during the night.
This is not universal, however. In
some countries the night for gifts is
January S, for that is the night Los
Reyes Magos ride swiftly from house
to house with camels laden with good
things for good little chiquillos.
The yule season in Mexico and
many other Hispanic countries gen.
orally begins on December IS and
continues to January 6, when pres
ents are exchanged in token of the
gifts brought to the Christ Child by
the Three Wise Men.
In fact, there is sometimes a col
orful addition of bullfghts, rodeos
and folk dances.

country in history through its
sports-forall program for which
it has appropriated as much as
SlOO,O0O.OO0 annually, says Col

in the construction of $50 stadi-
ums, $500 gymnasiums and 10000
playing fields, but has also encour-

nearly all ages to compete in ath-

either as promoter or a partici-
pant, there are no professional
athletes in the Soviet Union.

First Yule Card
Printedin 1916

The first Christmas card, proper
~ so-calied, was produced in Eng
land in 1886 as the result of a noble
mans suggestion.
Sir Henry Cole conceived the idea
when overwhelmed by the thought
OF having to pen personal greetings
OF the season to his many friends
and acquaintance. This first card,
of which about 1000 copies were
sold. was produced in black and
white: the drawing thereupon was
by j. c. Horseley and was hand
colored. The idea did not really
catch on until about 1864 and sew
eral more years passed before the
custom of sending Christmas cards
was taken up by British royalty.
Monopoly of the American Christ
mas card market was enjoyed by
Marcus Ward and Company of Lon
don for few years following their
introduction into the United States
during the 1905. In 1880 Louis l..
Prang and Company of Boston en-
tered into competition with the Eng
fish firm. Prang and Company Of
fered $1,000 in prizes for the best
designs submitted and nearly 600 en-
tries were received: thus launching
the modern industry which offers
Christmas cards of almost endless
varieties to fit every pocketbook.

Zorie wondered why he was so

plight did not wholly explain him.
1t was, perhaps, natural instinct;
but it went deeper than that. He
was little drunk, therefore gar
rulous. But it was not just that.
Perhaps, she reflected, it was his
vanity. He was bored. He wanted
to talk. And he was an eXhibitionist.

He tried to drown You because, if
