activity as the Brownies launched
upon an all-out program Of train

Legends Told About
First Christmas Tree

Many legends have been told
about the origin of the Christmas
tree, the decorated evergreen
which finds its cherished place in
so many homes at the Yule sea-
son.
One legend has it that all the
trees of the forest had gifts of nuts
and fruits and fine woods for the
infant King, but that the tiny fir
tree had no worthy gift, so the
angles, in compassion, bedecked it
with stars and its beauty made the
humble evergreen tn most splendid
gift of all.
Another, who was missionary
to the heather Teutonic tribes in
the dark Northern forest, was so
shocked when he came upon a tribe
of heathens about to sacrifice a
young maiden beneath an oak tree
held to be sacred that Winfred,
in his righteous indignation, felled
the giant tree in record time.
The natives were impressed by
his strength, but angered about
what he had done to their sacred
tree, and were gathering for an
attack when suddenly there sprang
up before their eyes a beautiful
evergreen in place of the fallen
oak.
! Winfred shouted out: mot
death, but life. Not the oak of
death, btu the evergreen tree of
everlasting life and love shall be
your tree from now on, for you
shall become followers of the
Young King of Lfe-Jesus the
Christ"
And they did.
And trimmed evergreens in His
mmory each Christmas season.
Whatever the origin, the ever
green tree, ablaze with lights, has
become the symbol of the Prince
of Peace in millions of homes to-
day.

The Christmas Story as
Told by st. Luke

And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out decree
from Caesar Augustus, that all
the world should be taxed.
And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem; because
he was Of the house and lineage of
David.
To be taxed with Mary his es-
poused wife, being great with
child.
And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accom-
plished that she should be deliv-
cred.
And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in
manager; because there was no
room for him in the inn.
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flock by night.
And 10, the Angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrap
ped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heaven
ly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men.

Cards Had LiffIe
ReIofion To Xmas

Cherry Santas, glowing candles,
g1ittering snowscapes, stirring Ma
tivity scenes these are just a
few of the familiar and well-loved
symbols Of Christmas that grace
today's Christmas cards.
When Christmas cards were first
produced commercially In 1875 by
Louis Prang, Boston Autograph
er, the majority of Christmas de-
signs had little or no relation to
Christmas or the winter season.
They pictured summer flowers,
seascapes, fairies, kittens, children
playing, even fish and reptiles.
Roses, especially the moss rose,
received most of the attention on
floral designs.
1t was a painting of moss rose
that started Louis Prang in the
greeting card business and which
eventually earned him the title
Father" of the American Christ
mas card.
Miss D. E. Whitney, a young art
student who worked in Prang's
shop, showed him a painting of a
budding moss rose. Intrigued by
the simple painting, he decided to
print it on small cards and add the
words Merry Christmas, as the
British had been doing since the
184Os.
Prang's Christmas cards were
reproduced in as many as 20 diff
ferent colors. Many were extreme
ly large, trimmed with silk fringe
and several had silk cords for
hanging. Some were encrusted
with blown glass "frosting".
Printing in several different col
ors was made possible by very
delicate printing process developed
by Prang-"chromo-lightography"
For several years before printing
his first greeting card, Prang re-
produced original paintings with
this process and these were the
"chromos" beloved by all Ameri-
cans of that day.
Their vast range of colors and
shades, Stimulating the woven tex
ture Of an artists canvas, receiv-
ed popular and professional &C
claim the world over.
Prang cards became world FAM
GUS in just matter of a few years
and he continued to make Christ
mas cards for 20 years, until Ger
man limitations began to crowd the
American market. A proud crafts
man, Prang retired from the greet
ing card scene and turned his eff
forts to other activities, rather
than have his quality cards COM
pete with the cheap. imports.
