Cards Came
Late In Yule
Traditions

Mary Of today's Christmas
traditions began somewhere in
the dim past. but the practice
Of exchanging greeting cards is
just q little over a century old.
In 1648 William Nav Egley. a
Starving" young English art
ist. came up with the idea Of
designing q Christmas card and
reproducing it on pieces of
pasteboard for the public to buy.
Egley's card showed a family
Christmas diner. formal dance,
skating. carolers, alnsgiving. a
Punch and Judy show and other
aspects Of celebration resem-
bling the one in Charlie
Dickens 1.-THE Christina
Carol" published a few years
previously. Unfortunately. Egg
ley's friends were not enthusi-
astic about his idea.
New Years Apology
The daddy" Of all holiday
cards was designed ard etched
in 1872 by j. A. Boerner. a
young Londoner, who wanted to
apologize to friends for his fail
ure to pay a New Years Day
visit. Mr. Boerner's card made
it clear he was tied to his home
by depicting him with his coat
caught in the locked doorway of
his house.
In l843, Sir Henry Cole. a busy
English missionary of cul-
ture, hit upon the idea Of send
ing out little missives at Christ
mas. John Calcott Horsley Of
the Royal Academy. famous for
his campaign against nude art,
designed the cards and Sir Hen
ry sent out 1000 friends.
, It wasn't until the early 1e60's
that cards were issued for gen.
eral distribution by a large Eng
lish publishing company.
Christmas greetings were in
troduced into the United States
by the Marcus Card Company
of London. They became popu-
lar Immediately, and in 1874
Louis Prang, a German immi-
grant, started a Christmas card
business at Roxbury, Mass.
Custom Lost Fashion
At the turn of the century, he
ceased publishing rather than
compete with imports flooding
the market. For the next dec
ade or SO the custom of ex-
changing cards fell out of fash
ion.
Only after World War l did
American manufacturers begin
to achieve success in the card

printing and ithographing proc
esses brought Christmas cards
within every mes reach.
Despite its relatively recent
start in this country, the custom
has caught the fancy of the
American public to the extent
that it sends billions Of Christ

The Supreme Court today
faced the thorny question Of
whether United States courts
should give legal effect here to
confiscation DEGREES Selling
American property in Fidel
CaStro's Cuba.
The issue. presented in .
complex little case involving a
single shipment Of sugar, af-
fects the status Of Castro
seized property valued at many
millions and the relationship
Of both countries.
Ironically, the Justice De-
partment is backing the Cuban
position in the court contro-
versy while the State Depart
ment's publicly proclaimed
stand has been that the seiz-
ures were violations Of inter-
national law.
Key Issue In Case
The crux Of the case is the
scope Of the so-caIled act Of
state doctrine, under which
United States courts tradition
ally have treated as valid cers
tain internal acts Of recognized
foreign governments.
The case became q key test
Of the present meaning Of the
doctrine when q lower Federal
court in New York refused to
give effect to Q Cuban claim to
the $175,000 proceeds Of the
sugar shipment involved.
The lower courts reasoning
was that the Cuban govern
ment's claim should be dis
missed because the seizure up
on which its title was based
had been q violation Of inter
national law.
The decision, however,
meant that the lower court
was ruling on the legality Of
the Cuban seizure. Such a
ruling meant that the act of
state doctrine. at least in this
case. was being strapped.
