By MARY PALMER
With the holiday seasonrapidly
approaching, it brings with it a
spirit of cheer and good will, and
Christmas cards are one of the
nicest and most inexpensive ways
of expressing this spirit.
With the wide range of cards
now on the market, there are cards
to fit every taste, ranging from
the traditional to the modern.
A POPULAR trend this year are
cards done in a modern abstract
style. These depict everything
from jolly Santa Clauses and
Christmas trees to devout religious
scenes.
Color variation is another new
trend in today's cards. Breaking
away from the usual red and
green, one can find cards done
in almost every hue.
Some manufacturers have also

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS-There comes a time in everyone's
life when they must go Christmas shopping. Shown above is
Diane Johnston enlisting the aid of Al Green to carry packages
for her. The smile on Al's face is quite appropriate to winter and
the season of Christmas; that is, it's frozen.

"I want to be creative . . . or
something in my Christmas pres-
ents this year."
A good way to accomplish this
often heard wish might be through
record gifts.
Today an enormous selection of
LP's, 45RPM's and standards are
available in record stores for any
taste ranging from Tchaikovsky to
Teagarden.
In response to widespread pub-
lic demand, RCA Victor has been
giving out items on LP from its
"Treasury of Immortal Perform-
ances." Recently, two "Treasury"
releases made record news, with
Mozart's "Don Giovanni," Chopin's
Nocturnes, Beethoven's Concerto
No. 4 and Debussy's "Pell'eas and
Melisande."
The first complete recording of
Gershwin's blues classic, "Porgy
and Bess," (Decca) reveals that
the six sides of LP still sparkle
with their usual flavor.
For jazz enthusiasts, Columbia
has recently released an album en-
titled, "The Bessie Smith Story,"
which contains some of the best
jazz of the '20's and early '30's.
During her brief, reckless life,
Bessie was the rage of the "blues"
world. This collection includes
such instrumentalists as Arm-
strong, Fletcher Henderson, Ben-
ny Goodman and Jack Teagarden.
added sparkle to their cards to
give them a bright, distinctive
look.
* * *
SUCH FAMOUS artists as Nor-
man Rockwell, Grandma Moses,
and Winston Churchill have had
their work reproduced on cards
lovely enough to frame.
Or for those with their own
artistic talent, cards can be
fashioned at home with a mini-
mum of expense. It adds a per-
sonalized touch to each card
and can also be lots of fun for
the creator.
Those without artistic talent but
who still like the personal touch,
can take a jaunt to the local pho-
tographer and have their pictures
reproduced on their Christmas
cards.
* * . *
FAMILY GROUPS or pets make
appropriate scenes for this type
of card, or perhaps the photog-
rapher can offer suggestions.
Those who like to have every
card different and yet don't like
to shop around looking for varia-
tion, will find many boxed assort-
ments which are both inexpensive
and attractive.
No matter what the taste may
be, students are advised not to
wait until the last minute to send
them out because of the big rush
at the post office. Delivery on
"late" cards is often delayed un-
til after the holidays.

STOLEN STOLES:
Current Fashion Fads Based
On Styles of Ancient Times
By MARTHA PAPO
Although fashions always por-
tray ideas as "the newest thing,"
most of our present fashions are
borrowed from the past, with very
little change.
Modern stoles are nothing new,
in fact they had their origin as
the ancient Roman toga. They are
now used to a slightly different
purpose, but it might be said that
we "took the shirt off the Roman's
back."
A recent topic in the fashion
plates is the large medallion. As
costume jewelry it is something
new, but it had its origin during
the Medieval period. At that time
they were the family crests of the
knights.
The large crests on belts and
purses are even reproduced in "an-
tique gold finish," to give them
that old, aged look. From their ap-
pearance, they might have just
been taken off the shield of some
armor-clad knight.
Although they are never as
large as those found on a knight's
shield, they range in size from
that of a half dollar to about the
size of a small saucer. Most Qf
the medallions have touches of
bright enamel, although some are
all old gold or silver finish.
