BE A
SOLVENT
SANTA-
PLAN
A little advance planning
can help you enjoy the holi
day season as you should,
without having to reach down
the chimney of your bank.
Keep a "Yule log”—a day
by day record of Christmas
expenses which can serve as
a brake on this year’s spend
ing and act as a guide to fu
ture Christmas budgeting.
To do this, decide the to
tal amount you can spend on
gifts, this sum, divided by the
people on your list, represents
your average gift outlay. You
can adjust this figure upward
or downward for different per
sons, just so you stay within
your total gift outlay.
This does not mean, how
ever, that you must ban an oc
cassional splurge. Realist
ically, your Christmas budget
should be like any other sound
and practical account of
money: it must be controlled—
by you reins. By allowing for
the unexpected expense in your
"Yule log”, you can avoid one
of the costly mistakes many
Christmas shoppers make: o-
verspending on every item pur
chased.
By obtaining buying infor
mation, then comparing items,
prices and stores, and by avoid
ing the last minute rush this
Christmas, you too can be one
of the Three Wise Men.

Popular Cards
Mostly Religious
The Partridge in The Pear
Tree is being replaced in pop
ularity by Christmas cards with
a religious motif. Of all the
familiar and well-loved images
that adorn the new Christmas
cards, the favorite is one that
recalls the Christmas story with
its message of hope.
Whether a card is illustrated
in the formal style of a Ren
aissance painter or with the
simplicity of primitive modern
art, the manger in Bethlehem
strikes a responsive chord
wherever it is seen.
Legends of the Christmas
season from all over the world
emerge from the themes drawn
on Christmas cards. Their
beauty is enriched with vivid,
contemporary colorings and
textures.
The most popular flowering
plant for Christmas, according
to many florists, is the Poin-
settia. The plant was brought
to the United States more than
125 years ago from Mexico
by Dr. Joel Poinsett, who was
the American ambassador to
that country. According to one
legend, a poor Mexican girl,
who was heartbroken because
she had nothing of beauty or
value to offer the Virgin Mary,
plucked some weeds from the
side of the road and placed
them at the foot of the holy
statue. The plants were mir
aculously transformed into the
scarlet brilliance that we as
sociate with the poinsettia
today. In Mexico, many people
still call the flower "Flor de
Noche Buena”—the flower of
the Holy Night.
