Origin of Calling Cards,
A French journal says that visiting
cards are not of recent invention. nor
even of European origin. Thcy exist-
ed in China twelve centuries ago, but
their use did not spread to France
until the last century. The (‘hincsc
cards. however. had little resemblance
to those in use in Europe fo-day. They
contained often wonderful designs. ex-
pressing all sorts of good wishes for
those for whom they were intended.
The size of the card indicated the re
spect the owner had for its recipient.
In the seventeenth century, the Eng:
lish ambassador at Pekin received
from the Chinese government a card
eighteen feet long, which was carried
by six men. Cards were illustrated
with designs, the work frequently of
artists of reputation, when first intro.
duced in France. Mythological sub-
jects were most in vogue.
These were in fashion until the first
empire, and it was not until 1845.
when the use of cards became univer-
sal, that the. name on them was en-
graved in the simple form of today—-
Golden Days.
