CARDS AND CALENDARS.

PRETTY DESIGNS IN PRETTY CoLoRs
The usual bundle reaches us from Raphael
Tuck & Sons. filed with calendars for the
coming year and with Christmas cards. Both
show the admirable adaptation of embossing
processes and OF color printing which have
long been recognized in the work Of this house
The most beautiful Of the calendars is The
Glory Of the Year." a sheaf Of tall boards, with
floral embellishments surrounding the days Of
the month and certain selections from Shake
speaFe. The briar rose reproduced the first
page OF this calendar is especially artistic in
color and quality The Alma Mater calendar
illustrates new idea. Each sheet is adorned
with the figure Of a pretty girl who wears the
colors Of Harvard. Yale or some other univer-
sity. and these colors appear in the rest of the
decoration. Longfellow is drawn upon for one
Of the decorated booklets which Tuck & Sons
publish at this time, and quotations from Ten
nyson are reproduced in another. The Christ
mas cards mostly tender IN sentiment. but
We note one particularly engaging specimen in
the shape OF design which, when unfolded
exhibits family Of pigs in laughable attitudes.
The appositeness Of the design is not very clear.
but there is no doubt about this being a very
funny card.
E. P. Dutton & Co. also issue a batch Of CAL
broad sheets. with three months on each one,
presents vivacious sketches by Hal Hurst Of
fashionable youths and maidens dancing, skat-
ing, boating and idling under the summer trees.
'Favorites OF British Art" gives eight reproduc-
tions in color Of noted paintings by Sir David
Wilkie, Sir Edwin Landseer. George Morland
and others. The Golden Age" presents six
types Of feminine loveliness. An amusing cal
endar published by the buttons is one called
"Comical Cats" with droll drawings in colors
from feline models. We note also one beautiful
floral calendar and a calendar with drawings
in black and red for THE Golfers Season"
Sooner or later the cult for Omar Khayyam
was bound TO be recognized outside the sphere
in which new editions OF him. with commen-
taries, are prepared. The Frederick A. Stokes
Company is in the field with an Omar Khay-
yam Calendar" an affair of six pages. each
bearing a quatrain and an illustration by Mr.
George 7. Tobin.
Thomas A. Whitaker publishes in a style OF
becoming simplicity Church Calendar" ac-
cording to the usage of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church in this country. It gives the
order Of service for every day. with quotations
bearing upon the Christian life and the Church's
waYs.
