CHRISTMAS FAIRIES

SANTA CLAUS AT SEA.

Gifts on Christmas Tree For Passengers on Ocean Liners. Don't imagine that just because a person is at sen when Christinas ar rives-he gs *s no Yuletide cheer Christ mas on one of the big ocean liners iobserved religiously, which is to sax that tile day is fully appreciated b> both officers and passengers “The man win. spends his life on board a big passenger ship sees about as many different kinds of Christmases as anybody. I guess." said the cap a n I of one of the great transatlantic steamships as he sat in his cabin the other, day preparing for a holiday voyage to the Med terianeau. "Some Christmas days I i.-ive spent on the north At lantic, vtirers Avhile in the China trade i and still others in the south Pacific i and tiie Mediterranean. “1 he fact is that, i have spent only i one Christmas day at home since I was married—and I haven't been a j baehi or for a good many years. Now 1 we sail from New York very soon and will touch at Gibraltar, Genoa and oth ; er ports, and before Yve reach here ' again Christmas will have been passed. “M hen your ship is running on a voyage to the Mediterranean, with a crowd of jolly passengers aboard who are off on a trip to enjoy themselves, Christmas is a day to be remembered. Friends and relatives send gifts on ahead, so that they may be handed to passengers at the right time, and of course this personal remembrance from home makes more enjoyable the celebration which is always prepared on board the ship itself. i -“The 24th of December passes about as do other days until dinner time arrives. and then the chefs and stewards gmtdo themselves in providing an elaborate menu and in table decorations. If the weather is fine, and it is likely to be. the passengers are in high spirits, for the Christmas feeling is infectious, no matter where you go. “Toward the end of the dinner speeches are made, songs are rendered, etories are told and toasts are given, and when this is completed all go to the QMin sak»Qp. and the Christmas trep, ls revealed, standing there in the * middle WQder the big skyUght. it is a Mg tree. too—just as big as can be obtatned and put in ptace—and on It are bung gifts from the ship for every passenger, not costly *t alj, but remembrances that are HkSty to be long preserved as souvenirs of a pleasant occasion. ' _ “Then. If the sea is not high, the candles are lighted, and the tree bursts Into beautiful illumination. “After ■ distribution of gifts from

CHRISTMAS CARD’S FATHER.

British Artist Originated This Form of Greeting In 1844. Some day surely a grateful mono ment will be erected to the memory of W. A. Dobson, the parent of the Christ mas card, for he was a true herald of peace and good will to the world and no small benefactor to commerce, says a writer in Tit-Bits. In 184-1 Mr. Dobson, who later became a famous member of the Royal academy, was a young’man earning a modest income as master of the government School of Design at Birmingham. One evening in December instead of writing his usual letter of . Christmas good wishes to a friend it occurred to him to substitute a pictorial greeting, and, taking a piece of card about twice as large as a modern postcard, he began to draw on it In the center of the three panels into which he divided his design he sketch ed a family group raising glasses to the health of distant friends amid a seasonable environment of holly and mistletoe, while on each side of this festal scene he flrew a picture of a deed of charity. This card Mr. Dobson dispatched to his friend, giving it no further thought The friend, however, was delighted wittr his novel and artistic Christmas greeting and showed- it everywhere proudly, to the equal admiration of his acquaintances Everybody begged for a similar card, and in the following December the amiable Mr. Dobson etched another design and this time had it lithographed and sent out copies by the score. In the following year he had several imitators, and the Christmas card was at last launched on the tide of popular favor, although even then if Mr Dobson had been told that his modest card of 1844 would have 40.000.000 descendants sixty-five years later in Great Britain alone be would probably have thrown up his hands in amazement and incredulity.
