When Sending Cards
The exchange of cheerful Christ
, lias cards between friends is one
! if our most delightful Yuletide cus- |
* toms—and like all other social re
flationships. it is governed by sim- j
pie. common-sense rules of eti- j
| rjnette.
You may properly send your hoi- I
idav greetings to almost everyone—
I business and professional associ
ates. if you wish, as well as social
| acquaintances and relatives.
Be sure to choose appropriate
cards, however. If Aunt Jennie is
|p garden enthusiast, she'll probably
appreciate a beautiful llower print
1 more than a dozen Santa Claus de
; signs.
Special Titles.
Cards with special titles, such as
' “Merry Christmas. Mother.” are
; available for mothers, wives, sweet
hearts and practically all relatives,
including the in-laws, and are a
mark of individual thoughtfulness.
If you can spare a moment or
two. pen a brief holiday note on
each card. It adds a warm sincer
ity and a touch of your individual
personality to your Yuletide greet
ings. Christmas time is a sentimen
tal and nostalgic season for every- !
one. and many a friendship has |
been kept alive through the years
by the annual exchange of holiday
greetings.
Colored ink is entirely proper
both for signing the card and ad
dressing the envelope, provided it
harmonizes with the on] >r scheme
of the card itself
Signatures need not be formal,
except on engraved Christmas cards.
You may have your name neatly
printed if you wish, or take your pen
in hand and sign the greetings your
self with a holiday flourish.
“Mr. and Mrs.”
Married couples may omit the
"Mr. and Mrs ” if they prefer and
sign their cards simply ‘ Paul and
Jenny Wilson.” Either the hus
band’s name or the wife's may ap
pear first. Children in the family
rate a place in the signature, too.
In addressing the envelopes, it is
best to send one card to a husband
and wife, and separate cards to oth- !
er adult members of the family too. j
As an alternative, one card may be j
mailed to the whole family if you
are careful to write the names of
each individual on the envelope, in
cluding the children.
Use three-cent stamps for your
Christmas cards, following the rule
of good taste which says that first
class friends deserve first-class
mail. It is entirely proper to write
your return address on the enve
1 pe. to help friends keep tab on
changes of address.
Selecting attractive Christmas
cards for each of your friends is a
delightful pre - Christmas activity.
Don't treat it as a sober social re
>porsibilitv. Plunge in with a smile
• : d the gay lvPoay swws on the
cards will soon till ynur heart with
Yuletide cheer and s»*nt:mc:it.

and copies are available free up
on request.
The publication, prepared by
E R. Collins. W. L. Nelson, and
E. E. Hart wig, lists eight steps
to greater profits from soybeans.
These are: have your soil tested
and limed, provide adequate fer
tility, prevent fertilizer injury,
plant an adapted variety, pro-,
vide enough plants, treat seed to
prevent diseases, prepare a good
seed bed, and control weeds ear
ly.
According to the circular, tests
in six eastern counties indicate
that soybean yields can be in-1
| creased by as much as 12.4 bu-j
! shels per acre through proper
use of lime and fertilizer. At
v--c) per bushel, this increase in
| yield would bring an additional!
net return of $25.90 per acre. j
The Ogden and Pvuanoke var
1 ieties are recommended as the
! best available. The Roanoke ex-j
cels particularly in the lighter
soils of the Coastal Plain region
and is also good in the Pied
mont.
Persons desiring a copy of the
new circular should see the lo
cal county agent or write direct
