APPEALING FAMILY GROUP IS SUBJECT of the 1885 Louis Prang Christmas rard shown here. Illustration of the mother marks trend of 1880's greeting eards, whirl) often pietured altrac live young women. This eard is front the Norcross Historical Collection. Women Rule Christmas 1885 I A picture of a beautiful i woman on a current Christ : mas card would seem inap propriate to many. But fem inine beauty enjoyed great ; popularity in Christmas ; cards during the late 1880's. Until 1880, children and elderly women were most often pictured. Or, if adult young women did appear, they were shown as "tenders of the hearth,” with their husbands, children or pets. , Later, classic Greek and Roman feminine figures were used to convey ideals of feel ing and beauty. Artists of the Royal Acad | emy in London began the t new fashion for using con temporary women in their Christmas card illustrations in 1881. One of the earliest of these was designed by W. F I Yeames and showed a richly gowned young woman asleep in a chair, with winged cu pids in a golden cage. In 1885. fashion figures of elegant women were a typi cal subject of Christmas cards. An example is a Louis Prang card irom the Nor cross Historical Collection. Mr. Prang, who published the best-known early greet ing cards in the U S., con ducted a Christmas card competition. The $1,000 first prize was won by Elihu Ved- j der, a well-known American artist. The model for his success ful illustration was his wife, and the inscription read, in part, “Thy own wish wish I thee in every place.” Later Christmas cards de picted women as fashion plates, sportswomen, cyclists and, in general, growing par ticipants in the life of their times.

Foods Flavor Celebrations “What’s for dessert?’’ At Christmas, the tradi tional answer to this ques tion in England, the United States and Canada is, “Mince pie and plum pudding.” One legend says that it brings good luck to eat mince pie on Christmas day. In earlier times, mince pies were baked in an oblong shape meant to represent the manger. Plum pudding, too, has its legend of luck, but here the good luck comes in the mak ing of the pudding. Every member of the family must stir the pudding while it’s be ing made, if good fortune is desired, says an old English tradition. Fruit cake is one of many specially-baked cakes that are part of the food-and feasting customs of Christ mas. These also are said to bring good fortune and good health.
