try waa Itself an adventure The ease
of travel nowadays has takes the edge
from all such jaunts Everybody
travels And Increasing numbers use
the modern transport system to leave
heme at Christmas time It may be
heresy but the eastern of spending
Christmas at aa Inn Is gaining ground
Congestion ef population lb great
cities has narrowed the dimensions ef
the metropolitan home and not many
apartments can comfortably accom-
modate the family reunion and the
preparation and setting of the Christ-
mas dinner So when the trip te the
country falls the city family goes holiday-making
In an hotel If hotels once
were lonely places at Christmas they
are tit from lonely now and many
seek them both for dinner and frolic
These are tendencies variations
upon the old theme The theme how-
ever remains unchanged It will not
change The great majority will atlll
keep Christmas at home Where there
are children the' proper paraphernalia
and the time-honored observances will
hold the ' family at home No' substi-
tute fully satisfies At best the sway-from-home
Christmas la only si substi-
tute for the genuine article So long
as children come to enrich the lives
of men and women Christmas will re-
main essentially a home holiday The
organization of modern life brings
some compensations to the absent and
the homeless but the fullness of
Christmas satisfaction Is ouly to be
had at the family hearth
THE FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD
First DecoratedYuletid Greeting Waa
Made for 8lr Henry Col
In 1843
CEn NGLISH NOTES AND QCER-
ji I IBS has the names of three
men who at one time or an-
other have been credited
with designing the first
Christmas card W Q T Dobson has
some claim to making the first Christ-
mas card In 1844 but John C Horsley
made a Christmas card for Sir Henry
Cole In 1843 and later began the pub-
lication of such cards
But there Is nothing particularly
new In the origin of pictures sent to
remind friends of some particular
event The custom was very old In
China from which country so many
customs came to be known as very old
after they were established In Europe
In the Chinese laundries pictures In
red and black used to be familiar to
the man going for his weekly wash
They were Chinese New Year Cards
which remained on the walls until the
next New Year came around But the
sale of Christmas cards as a business
came in about 1845 or 1843 The Amer-lean-made
cards some years later have
the credit for Introducing quality and
artistic design Into ' Christmas card
printing
On New Year's day Japanese mer-
chants send their patrons cards with
greetings of the season An elaborate
symbolism Is used in conveying the
Japanese messages and when It is
known the stork is supposed to live a
thousand years and the turtle ten
thousand their significance on the
cards Is readily understood they say
to the recipient "We wish you a long
life” The pine tree everlastingly
green Is a symbol of good fortune
the fan means Increasing good fortune

cupy prominent places on the New

Christmas and Twelfth Day
The festival of the Nativity was
never held on any other day than the
25th day of December The ancient
observance of the feast however con-
tinued for 12 days or In ecclesiastical
language "an octave and a half" other
festival days having an "octave" or
eight days of observance only Hence
the last day of the feast was termed
Twelfth day Little Christmas (among
the French) and Old Christmas day in
Ame parts of England It was In
818 A D that the Epiphany was first
celebrated as a distinct festival at the
end of the Christmas celebration prop-
er Tlie day has Its own observances
twelfth day cake king of the feast
the mystical bean fn the cake etc etc
but Is now usually celebrated as “le
Jour de rol” by the French people
or as the festival of the Epiphany the
Greek word for manifestation of Jesus
Christ to the Gentiles
EVERY CHRISTMAS IS BIGGE1

Year After Year
N uncounted pulpits and on
a multitude of printed pages
this Christmas day will be
M V made the subject of glow-
ing pictures of the progress
of the world toward peace and peace
with honor and Justice
In some features the holiday of giv-
ing the day set apart for rejoicing
over the birth of the most potent
apostle of peace mankind has ever
known wears a more nobly prophetic
uspect thla year than It has had in a
century or a millennium and thrilling
appeuls to the faith and brotherly
love of good people can be made with-
out In the least overstepping the
bounds of truth The facts are rich
In promise beyond the realisation of
many eyes weary of long strife and
repeated ' disillusionment There will
be comparatively little danger of ex-
aggeration In the praise of Christmas
this glorified day which finds tha
world scarce able te grasp the full
meaning of great events
But there la another phase of
Christmas which Is always wall worth
nettng and especially so when the
pace ef human progress Is quickened
by momentous ( changes toward peace
and good will' ‘This Is the constant
widening and Unending conquests of
the best sf holiday- -
Every Christmas Is bigger then the
one beforelt Always the day means
wore' to s gresteg number of human
beings Yea after year its bounda-
ries are extended Year by year Its
sunshine Is shed upon more of the
earth's Inhabitants
’ This- does not necessarily mean ths
gains of the Christian religion for
Christmas is wider than Christianity
The day of the coming of Jesus Is
cherished by many millions who have
no connection with Christian churches
or the faith they profess The holiday
Is dear to all who live In lands where
Christians are most numerous It
wins the devotion of little children
and holds their affection as they grow
older For multitudes Its observance
Is not In any sense a rite of belief but
a - manifestation of rejoicing In the
love of ' fellow-dwellers in a world
which at best has too little of the
sunshine of kindness and affection
There Is no reason to fear that this
growth of Christmas will cease There
Is nothing to Indicate that It will ever
fall to widen the realm of bright
hopes and radiant thoughts shining
children's eyes and smiling older faces
when winter days are briefest and
darkest In the more populous half of
the earth and nature leaves most for
man to do in making the world cheer-
ful and life worth while — Cleveland

lifting and not- to one who merely
drove a truck A missing finger
might constitute a vocational training
handicap to a violinist and entitle him
to training in another line while the
same injury to a lawyer would not
interfere with his work and would
not be a vocational handicap
A claimant wishing to claim a vo-
cational handicap traeeable to serv-
ice after securing from the Veterans

BRANN ON MAN
The place to take the measure of
man is not in the forum or the field
market place or the amen corner but
at his own fireplace There we may
judge whether he’s an imposter an
angel king or cur hero or humbug
I care not what the world says —
whether the world crown him with
bays or pelts him with bad eggs I
care never a copper what his reputa-
tion or religion be If his babies
dread his home coming and his better
half swallows her heart every time
she asks him for a five dollar bill he’s
a fraud of the fint water even tho
he prays night and morn till he’s
black in the face an dhowls hallelu-
jah till he shakes the eternal hills
But if his children rush to the front
gate to meet him and love’s own sun-
shine illuminates the face of his wife
when she hears hit footfall you may
take it for granted that he Is true
gold for his home’s a heaven and
the humbug never gets that near the
great white throne of God He may
be a rank athiest and a red flag anar-
chist a Mormon and a Mugwump he
may buy votes in blockg of five and
bet on the election he may deal from
the bottom of the deck and drink
beer until he can’t'tell a silver dollar
from a circle saw and still be indef-
initely better than the cowardly little
hypocrite who is all suavity in society
yet who makes home a hell — who
vents upon the helpless heads of wife
and children the ill nature he would
like to tinflict upon his fellow men
but he dares not I can forgive much
in that fellow mortal who would rath-
er make men sweat than women
weep who would rather have the hate
of the whole he world than the con-
tempt of his wife would rather call
anger to the face of a king than fear
to the face of a child — Brann’s
