This view prevailed, and the resolutions

Fashion In Calling Cards.

The Roman or block letter is becom-
ing more popular as the style Of engrav-
ing for visiting card plates, while the
fashionably thin card Of two sheet
quality is eminently proper. Cards for
both men and women are considerably
smaller, and the script engraving is
finer in consequence, following more
closely the English style than the Pari-
sian, which is large and with flourishes.
The block or Roman letter plate is very
English, and with those affecting Lon
don styles it finds great favor. The
price more than doubles that Of script
engraving. Ladies use the block style
now on their cards for teas and recep-
lions, as it admits of the necessary en-
craving Of days within smaller space
than the script and enables a smaller
card being used. Ladies' Home Jour
