NEW YEARS CARDS.

They Originated In Japan, Where

In Japan originated the art Of max
ing and the custom Of exchanging New
Year cards. Today both are as obso-
lete in the Flowery Kingdom as is
New Years calling in the United
States. More charming art, more de-
hghtful custom, are not numbered
among the good things that have
passed away to suffer in their time. let
us hope, happy revival.
For more than hundred years the
designing and coloring Of New Year
cards, occupied the attention Of the
foremost craftsmen and wood engrav-
ers Of Japan. They were made at the
command Of the noblemen of the en-
peror's court. In size they were from
six to eight inches. and each was in
scribed with poetic sentiment dictat-
ed by the noble giving the order. They
were printed from five or six blocks.
