about with him. Senior Vice Department Com

Pranr,s Easter Cards.

The public are 50 accustomed to associate th6
idea of artistic excellence with Prangs publi-
cations that it is difficult to convey the notion
of superiority in their cards season by season.
Yet there are many reasons why those which
come to celebrate the present Easter should be
selected for special notice. They are uniformly of
the highest artistic conception. and are exqni-
sitely reproduced. Many leading artists have
furnished designs for them. Walter Satteriee has
companion pictures, Hamilton Gibson has pro-
duced piece of colOriug which is worthy OF
the highest praise in his emblematic represen-
tation of butterflies soaring upwards to the
golden light. Mrs. E. T. Fisher has a lily
cross, which will satisfy the most critical, aud
the floral designs By Mrs. Whitney and Miss
Bridges are, if possible, more delicate in sug-
gestion and treatment than ever. Miss Swan.
an English artist, has two charming studies of
daffodils and jonquiIs. Many of the more
beautiful designs are printed upon satin and
elegantly mounted. An entire novelty Is
shown in Easter Carol Cards, which are Won
derfully appropriate to the season. Thy are IN
two sets, one consisting Of cards printed IN red
and black in Medieval type and style, and the
other OF booklets with cover of handmade
paper, and all contain Carols of ye Olden Time.
These cards, we venture to say, viii meet with
a very wide popularity.
