Christmas is at hand and in less than two
weeks the Christmas tree will bear its fruits.
Dealers are generally making extensive prep
arations for the holiday trade and are already
showing goods Christmas cards are shown
in larger variety and handsomer designs than
ever before. The hand of the painter and
designer has worked marvels. Fringed cards
we're the rage last season but many plain
ones are now seen. A delicate little
card is painted in water colors, and although
small makes up in beauty what it lacks in
size. Satin panels bearing brilliant floral
paintings and views of winter scenes, en-
closed in beautiful plush and silk
borders, sre numerous. To add still further to
their sttractiveness they are highly scented
with sachet powders. They are comparative
ly costly, retailing from three to Ave dollars
each. Leaflets of poetry, enclosed in bril-
liautly decorated and colored covers, are
quite unique ard will attract many purchas
ers. Small cards selling from one dollar
down are without number and are as pretty
as they are cheap. Cards are devoted tt
winter scenery more than has heretofore
been the case. frozen landscape, snow
covered earth, a hunter carrying gun, with,
perhaps brace of rabbits trolicking about at
his feet, are the characteristics OF these
