AFTER WORLD WAR I,
the greeting card business
hit its stride. In literate
America. it functioned some
thing like the street-corner
letter writer in Harun al
RaShid'S Baghdad. Here the
customers could write. They
addressed the envelopes. But
1t was on the greeting card
counter that they found
sentiments In prose and
rhymes. puns and gags that
seemed better expressions
than they could muster for
congratulations on a birth
day. a betrothal, a marriage
or a birth. AS for Christmas

seem to know what the holi-
dav was about.
