Christmas Cards
Catching On With
British Cousins
London -UPD- The tradition
alists fight the trend, but there
is a bigger demand for Christ
mas cards in Britain this year
than ever before.-
Many British of the old
school have denounced Christ
mas cards with cries of "too
commercial" and. "We're be
coming Americanized."
But the spirit of Christmas
card sending is catching on
rapidly.
The American influence on
greeting cards is becoming
more noticeable. There is an
agreement " between British
and American firms to use
U.S. designs in Britain.
It is estimated that 557-mil-lion
. cards will be sent this
year, compared with 250-mil-lion
in 1938. The average
Britisher sends about 14 cards
to his American cousin's 26.
Last year, 72 per cent were
sent by married couples.
Single girls out-bought bache
lors 11 to 9.
The trade believes the ex
planation for the rapid in
crease is prosperity. As people
become more prosperous, they
become more sociable.
The average ' British card
costs about 10 cents. Best sell
ers include those with pictures
of Big Ben and Westminster.
Etiquette
For Cards
Expli
i
ainea
New York (UPD Stumped,
on Christmas-card etiquette?
Use common sense, plus a few
simple rules. ,
Dad's name comes first on
the signature when small fry
are included. List the young
sters according to age.- Last
names are given if identifica
tion is needed. -
Do not put titles such as
"Mr." or "Mr. and Mrs." be
fore the signature unless your
cards are very formal and en
graved. Then the signature is
written, Mr. and Mrs. John
Doe."
Do not address envelopes to
"Mr. and Mrs. Will Smith and
Family." If possible, send a
separate card, tr address the
envelope to the parents, and
and on the inside, write, "To
Mary and Will, and Bobby
and Betty."
It's proper and thoughtful
to send cards to persons in
mourning, but select cards
with understanding. Religious
greetings or cards designed
for the purpose are appropri
ate. It Is customary to address a
widow by the same title she
used when her husband was
alive, such as "Mrs. William
White."
The correct form of address
to a divorcee is to add her
maiden surname before her
ex-husbands' name. For exam
ple, "Mrs. Addison Jones."
Always write "The Rever
end" before the name of a
priest or minister. The correct
form for Protestant ministers
with doctor of divinity de
grees is "The Reverend Dr.
Paul Smith" or "The Rever
end Paul Smith, D.D." Initials
of a special order or rank
should be added to the names
of Roman Catholic priests.
If you receive a card from '
someone not on your list,
don't rush out and mail a :
card in return if it will arrive :
too late. Instead, send a New
Year's card or write a note
thanking them for their greet
ing. '
Homemakers allergic to dust
can use new polishes that are
sprayed on furtniture, com
bining the dust and waxing
chores. The spray traps dust
which then is picked up in
the polishing cloth. Dry dust
ing causes .dust particles to
float in- the air where they
are inhaled.

Christmas Humor
Is Now Extended
To Wrapping Paper
New York -UP&- The humor
of "contemporary"" greetings
cards that deflate some of our
more stuffy traditions makes
its debut this year on Christ
mas gift wrappings.
Don't be surprised if you re
ceive a package wrapped in an
offbeat paper .that declares,
"I'm giving you this gift be
cause ... I like to help the
needy."
Another says, "If you think
this wrapping looks cheap,
wait until you see whaft's in
side!" Taking a poke at itself,
the paper advises buyers that
"This gift wrap is so cheap, it
makes any present look
great."

Washington-(CPD A new
method of converting certain
foods into high-quality instant
food powders has been de
veloped by scientists of the
U.S. Department of Agricul
ture. Liquid food concentrates
are whipped into a foam. The
foam is spread on a belt or
tray and dried in a stream
of warm air. Then it is com
pressed and crushed into pow
der form.
A stain remover, developed
by a former hospital labora
tory chemist, removes almost
every type of stain as fast as
you can say "one-two-three."
It comes in three unbreakable
bottles, one for each of the
three respective steps in its
applications. The maker re

Mother Types Compared
By Director of Research
i MARGUERITE DAVIS
United Press International
Chicago-(UPD-The white collar worker's baby is, in it moth
er's eyes, like "a good portfolio of stocks and bonds, to
pay off in the future," a sociologist says.
The blue collar wife regards her infant "more as play
thing," and makes the poorer mother of the two.
Dr. Lee Rainwater, an as-
sociate director of Social
Research, Inc. and co-author
of the recently published
"Workingman's Wife," made
these conclusions after ex
tensive interviews with wo
men in both income brackets.
The woman whose husband
is in the middle income
bracket is likely to be a bet
ter mother, more satisfactory
wife and more valuable mem
ber of the community than
the woman whose husband
carries his lunch to work, he
said. -
The blue collar mother is
a more indulgent parent, he
added, but seldom lifts her
sights beyond the front door.
"When children from such
a home got into trouble, the
mother almost invariably
said, 'But he was always such
a wonderful child at home "
Rainwater said. 'In the white
collar home, the mother
makes a point of knowing
what her children are doing
when they're away.'
The blue collar mother
loses interest in her children
as they grow up, and the
change from' protective ma
ternal love is most marked
when the child is eight to
nine years old, Rainwater
said. At this time, the white
collar mother "believes her
work is just starting."
Interviewers found "to
getherness in its narrowest
form" in the blue collar
homes.
"It's a necessity not a vir
tue," Rainwater said. "The
outside world is seen as dan
gerous and uncomfortable.
The women would rather be
with their families, even dis
tant relatives, than try to
make friends."
The white collar wife
wants to avoid being "just a
wife and mother," he said,
and prefers to make a spot
for herself among her neigh
bors. The blue collar wife gener-

P
ally is an anxious wife.
"She is much less sure of
holding or 'managing' her
husband," he said. "She
thinks, and sometimes with
no basis, that he may take a
drink or go off with another
woman. Her distrust and an
xiety make it impossible for
her to be comfortable. Her
husband probably feels this
and reacts accordingly."
The white collar wife, on
the other hand, is confident
"that just about everything
can be talked over and
worked out," he said.
