Church Calendars and Books Taking the
Place of the Expensive Cards.
Something beautiful and novel in the way
of Easter cards, if they can be called such
are church calendars. printed Oh squares of
white satin. Usually cross or other re!il-

been for something original. People Seem

which all the pictures are photographed
Here is another in which they are genuine
steel engravings. Ii is lith0graph work
which you notice on most of those parCh-
ment leaflets, as they really are. The idea
of these designs is, suppose, for Eastern
presents. The thought probably grows out
of the old Russian custom of forgiving your
enemies and making presents on Easter day,
which, by the way, is a very good one
What is the demand for cards."
Very small for the expensive kinds.
Our trade is brisk in the cheapest varieties.
You see, cards are very appropriate pres

rewards of merits, and We sell large guam
