Novel That's the 1 932 Christmas Card Both Past And Future Suggest Ideas For This Year's Greetings NEW YORK Vpy To achieve nov elty without extravagance that a the thing most of the Christmas card designers strove for this year. And a glance around the shops shows that they have pretty well succeeded. "Novelty" in Christmas cards per mits a wide range Into the past as well as the future. The big Idea Is to get away from last year's designs and the year's before that. But go back to the Victorian age for suggestions and, the field is as fertile for novelty as the odd little creations ot the reck less modernists. More Depression Carda That old bogey, the Depression, still Inspires a number of tricky cards. The spirit of these is spoofing, sat irical. They gain effect from mater ials as well as design. Some of them are printed on wrapping paper, wall paper end paper bags. Last year Santa Calus was out in the breadline. Well, this year his reindeer have Joined him. Then there's the fellow who apparently has lost his shirt. He stands in a barrel and explains: "Greetings Between 'Hard Times' and the darned "Depres sion." Ain't got nothln left but this pleasant expression. Getting back to the Victorians, the treatment of types and scenes of the era Is refreshing. This trend In Christmas cards Is a reflection of style trends In furniture, clothing and what hav you. Recent years have been so full of the zig-zags, contortions and distor tions of modernists that the pretty sentiments and conversation of those dim days are novelty Indeed. Of course, there are some cards that take sly pokes at the Victorians, for those who want to follow aT style but make their friends snicker as well. Pet lovers must have their animal cards, so there Is an abundance of these, both quaint and modern In treatment. And .those queer little penguins, who have wobbled their way Into such popularity In all man ner of decorative art, will go thru the malls on many Christmas greet ings this year. Those who want to bo ritzy have plenty of opportunity, and the cost lier cards are not so costly as they were In other years speaking rela tively, that Is. There are some ex quisite Imported numbers, etchings and fine pen and brush work. For the younger generation, sports scenes are stressed. And there are cards appropriate to "kid" friends who wax enthusiastic over such things as movies and what-not. Interesting Meeting Hold at Christian Church The Woman's Missionary society of the Christian church held a most In teresting meeting In the church par lors Wednesday afternoon.- The meet ing was opened by singing "In Christ There Is No East or West." to the tune of America. Mrs. Allen Curry presided at the business period. Rev. W. R. Balrd, pastor of the church, led the Worship period, read ing the Christmas story, found in Luke 3:10-14. At the presentation hour, a round table conference In which several women discussed peace trends was led by Mrs. I. H. Gove snd group. ' Most of the program hour was given over to Mrs. R. M. Day, or Eugene, superintendent of the Young People's work, who told of the international convention, Just closed, at Indian apolis, Ind. Mrs. Lois Young of Central Point closed the program hour with a vocal solo. A social hour followed and cof fee and wafers were served to 35 members and guests. Those assisting the leader, Mrs. Gove, were Mrs. Will Lockard, Mrs. Hallle Saunders, Mrs. F. A. Gregory ana Mrs. Boy auyer. aCHUO II AnD A mww cmiTnwi M N y I wtfsssft Christmas cards with a new touch are In demand this year, and there seems to be one for every taste. Among the newest are those dec orated with penguins, one of which Is shown above. Greetings suggest ed by the Victorian age, and "depression" cards In new forms are other favorites. Wednesday Study Club Mas Meeting The Wednesday Study club held Its first meeting in the new club rooms, located In the City Hall at 6th and Central on the afternoon of December 7th.
