/ Another greeting card category consists \
| of those persons who send out |
| photographs of their families every |
| year. In the same mail that brought the |
| greetings from Marcia and Philip, my |
| friend found such a conversation piece. |
| "My God, Lida is enormous!" she |
| exclaimed. I don't know why women want |
| to record each year, for two or three |
| hundred people to see, the ravages |
| wrought upon them, their mates, and |
| their progeny by the artillery of time, |
| but between five and seven per cent of |
| Christmas cards, at a rough estimate, |
| are family groups, and even the most |
| charitable recipient studies them for |
| little signs of dissolution or |
| derangement. Nothing cheers a woman |
| more, I am afraid, than the proof that |
| another woman is letting herself go, or |
| has lost control of her figure, or is |
| clearly driving her husband crazy, or |
| is obviously drinking more than is good |
| for her, or still doesn't know what to |
| wear. Middle-aged husbands in such |
| photographs are often described as |
| looking "young enough to be her son," |
| but they don't always escape so easily, |
| and a couple opening envelopes in the |
| season of mercy and good will sometimes |
| handle a male friend or acquaintance |
| rather sharply. "Good Lord!" the wife |
| will say. "Frank looks like a |
| sex-crazed shotgun slayer, doesn't he?" |
| "Not to me," the husband may reply. "to |
| me he looks more like a Wilkes-Barre |
| dentist who is being sought by the |
| police in connection with the |
| disappearance of a choir singer." |
