CHRISTMAS CARDS!
"THE 'GRACEFUL MEANS”
Christmas trees were known to the Ronians. Christmas cards were known to no one until 1826 Then John Callcott Horsley, R. A.. designed the first one at the behest of Sir Henry Cole, thereby establishing the custom of sending specially designed cards bearing Christmas greetings. The first of his cards was decorated "with a Germanesque style, which was treills of rustle work in the

copies were established.
In the brief apologia "to" his "Recollections of 8 Royal "Academician," Horsley has said that he, "was by nature a talker." His talk, however, appears not to have extended to any discussion of his own personal ideas about the Christmas cards he originated. Neverthless, It is to be assumed that the sort of man who was to his family from the age of "portrait draughtsman, in ordinary
eleven, whose sitters were enthroned on stability," must have been the sort of man to have a thoroughly

Diplomats Uneasy. The diplomats are uneasy over the aspect of affairs in Peking. Tuan Chi-jui, the Provisional Chief Executive, has been given as much support as the Ministers dare, since they feel that he stands for maintenance of Treaty obligations rum The status quo in general. But while the Minis- ters are hoping for the best, they awail signs of rapid progress. Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang is in the Western Hills, Marshal Chang Tsc-lin and Dr. Sun Yat-sen are in Tientsin where the latter is suffering from illness, which the Ministers say is either real or "diplomatic" in nature. The Ministers fear that Marshal Feng may delay his trip to America indefinitely, in his desire to see the wheels of the new Govern. ment start in earnest. It is : argued, if Dr. Sun were to effect
