A Joyous Chustmas Take these flowers, genun'd with dew -drops. As a lovins gift from me: May thy heart reflect their brishtness And thy Christmas joyous bel Flowers Speak Language of Love In Modern or. Victorian Era Like holly, ivy and mistle- toe, flowers share in the leg- end and lore of Christmas. In terms of the Victorian era, the floral legend is an, espe- cially meaningful one. A Victorian lady who re- ceived a bouquet from her admirer could either smell it or read it as if it were a let- ter. Often, it was a letter. Young engaged couples, strictly chaperoned, found a way, to communicate words of affectiqn Via flowers. Each flower had a special meaning. Flowers in sequence could be used/ to spell out a fervent pledge of love. To help in composing, — and translat- ing — these messages, there were numerous tiny diction- aries listing flowers and their meanings. The flowering honeysuckle,, for instance, spoke of "bonds of love." A red rosebud told a lady that she was "pure and lovely." •Red double pink meant "woman's. love." And heliotropecarried a bold message, "I love you." This Victorian language of flowers. greatly influenced the design of Christmas cards ,of the time witness the • card illustrated .here, from the Norcross Historical Col- lection of antique cards. The lush surnmer blooms are typical of the Victorian admiration of flowers, re- gardless of the season. Though sentiments may be expressed differently, flowers still bloom on modern Christ- mas cards. A current card offers one example. Poinset- tias flower on a background of Mistletoe, and the message read, "Just- for you, honey, all my love at Christmas." 4s children watch and children walk, we all of you the true joys of Christmas ti YOU DON'T HAVE to worry about hot grease splattering on the wallcovering in this kitchen — it's protected by a solid sheet of vinyl that makei k greas6-proof water -proof and "kid -proof."

Treasured Today In the preparation of illu- minated manuscripts, a mas- ter artist often set the style for copyists and assistants to follow, since even- the deco- ration of an initial letter could be a major project. A single letter might occu- py an entire page, and 'a complete scene or miniature painting might be contained within the boundaries of, for instance, an initial "C" or tint, Some manuscripts, in fact, represent the work not only, of more than one artist but of more than one generation of artists. Today, illuminated manu- scripts are treasures of li- braries and museums, and rightly so, for throughout a thousand years of Christian, history, the art of alumina - tion brought an extra dimen- sion* of beauty to manu- scripts that are, in them- selves, precious works of art. NO -STOPPING LAW? LET THE ROMANS SHOW YOU HOW Drivers who feel that no - stopping regulations in cities are rough. might think about this historical note. In ancient Ninevah, where roads were sacred, posts were pladed along the processional way, inscribed: "Royal Road. Let no man lessen it. " It was decreed, for this Way, that anyone who parked a chariot or 'ether vehicle along the road should be slain and his bodyimpaled on a stake before his house. With that in view, look again at the $6.00 penalty for blocking traffic at rush hour! -- Highway Safety News. IT'S TOO COMMON In most of the United States, the' poinsettia is a prized Christmas flovfer. In Hawaii, however, it grows so profusely that it is conMd- ered too common for such an important holiday. Potted or- chids, anthurium or the or, ange-and-blue flower &ailed "bird of paradise" are Ha- waiian holiday favorites. • ONTARI WINGHA HYDRO OFFICE Christmas is made of snowflakes and churchlbells and laughter and' dreams . play all of yours vome true.
