LITERARY NOTES.

The advertising poster is fast be-

coIored cartoons of M. Jules Cheret,
proclaiming the virtues of hair re-
storatives and the graces of concert
hall singers, are eagerly sought by
collectors, rare sorts bringing prices
VARYING from twenty-five to one
hundred francs. The mania for COL
lectlng show-bills has reached this
country, and Harper & Brothers are
said to have received so many re-
quests for the series of monthly col

that no more sets are obtainable.
