Christmas card messages were apt to be expressed 'in rather quaint verse. Here are several reprinted recently in the Illustrated London News. From an elaborate card oY the 1880's: Come welcome again The King of Seasons all For Christmas doth reign With heaily good cheer, Success to next year Re-echoes from wall to wall. This one is from a card of 1878: • • Happy Christmas to thee, dearest, Dwelling in thy,happy home, And ire wish for thee, how fondly, Mangy long bright years to come. May such friends be thine as ever Seek ,thy pleasure as their own: And if sorrow must come nigh thee May'st thou never weep alone. • And here's another: :gris now a 1.4'Wi4 and jovial time -141 !.O.FOP'`,friends tOgetiher meeting • But those whom fate doth,sembtate, v Must take rt friendly greeting, Then let me hope my missive may Serve as a welcome token Of all the loving words I'd say Could'st thou but hear them 'spoken! THE BEAN KING • In parts of France, Spain, and,lVfexico they still eat a special 12th Night cake, in which , a'Single bean has been eoncealed, The finder of the bean is hailed' as Bean King — a survival of an ancient pagan custom which chose the King of the .Saturnalia by lot in this way.

In many countries, any- one coming to the door at Christmastime was invited to enter, For some believed that Christ Himself would appear at a house with a candle, concealing his iden- tity, to learn the extent of their kindness. Candles have inspired men throughout the ages, linking their bright glow with the beauty of faith. Research by Hallmark can- dle expert John Sinjem re- veals that candles were generally used at Christ- mastime as far back as the llth Century. Until the 18th Century they were made primarily from tallow or beeswax. The latter was preferred„as an emblem of Mary's purity, for wax is the product of virgin bees. Many persons believed that bees came from heaven, and it was not unusual for reli- gious institutions to keep swarms of them. According to an early writer, the wax represented Christ's body; the wick, His soul; and the flame His divine nature, - The religious symbolism of the candle grew through the centuries after early Christians, .huddled in the damp chill catacombs of Horne, used lighted candles as a source of comfort. New Candle Materials In 1750 a substance from the head of the sperm whale was found to be superior to tallow and beeswax. Later, in 1850, paraffin wax was developed and cornbined with stearic acid to make candles of the modern type. Bayberry candles with their delicate scent are es- pecially popular at Christ- mas, and they are said to bring good luck to the home. The bayberry candle is uniquely American. Bay- berry bushes grew in great abundance in the new world, and after learning to extract the greenish wax from the wild bayberries, the Pilgrims used it to make candles.

For a Family Gift • SWEDISH CROWN OF CANDLES In Sweden, the Christmas season traditionally begins on December 13, When a young girl in each house assumes the role of St. Lucia, wearing a white robe and a crown of lighted candles. The custom goes back to Viking times when, under the old calendar, the night of December 12-13 was the longest of the year. The'Lucia girl symbolizes re- turning light.
