Thomas H. Morgan, general superin-
tendent of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company, did well several weeks
ago, but the later holly-leaf and berry
laureled little fair-haired and smiling
miss is better The additional cOlOrings
of red and tints of pink make this one OF
the prettiest calendars of the year.
The belong Hook and Eye company's
(Philadelphia) calendar is "a daisy.
Evidently this beautiful little lady is a
lover of daisies. Nine decorate her straw
hat and the stem of one is held between
her pretty teeth. a pair Of laughing
blue eyes illuminate vision of brown
hair and pink and white attire.
Two pretty youngsters en- dcShnbHe
are discussing the dispositions of two
kittens, each lightly collared by blue
ribbon. The furnishings of gilt frame,
figured covers and red curtains help to
make very attractive picture for the
Cumberland Brewing company's calcn-
dar-indeed, one of the prettiest of the
eaSOn.
From the North Yakima drug store,
"Gossips," two white haired ladies dis
GUESSING neighborhood news. The
hostess has her knitting we'll advanced :;
the caller, bonnet in lap, is all attention,
and the comfortable room shows evil
dence of old-time housekeeping. Had
this calendar come from DR.. George
Sloan the JOURNAL would have nearly
suspected he had intended to remind the
great paper of the dialogue lie lately put
off on two of his estimable Scotch lady
friends. 1t came from Alex. d., how
ever, generally known to be more of a
good ry-teller than Scotchman.
The tone-work-pedestal and column,
surmounted by Cupid on tip-toe, wall
and bench, and arboreal back ground of
the James Clark Distilling company's
calendar suggest classic age. ES-
pecially the Greek costume of the beau
tlful heroine gives this hue to the scene.
Perhaps this is the trysting- place, this the
hour, and Cupid's PARKWAY look reflect
i've of maidenly wonderment why the
lover is not also here. The picture is a
beautiful reminder of the inscription on
the column raddock Maryland Rye. "
"Our Little Lady is picture of a
beautiful little girl ornamentation of
the j. NJ. STREET. company'S calendar.
Reared upon Mothers Bread she is
a healthy testimonial to the excellence
of that unrivaled accomplishment of the
bakers art She is nicely attired, too.
If a bakers daughter she would be re-
garded living witness to her father 5
success.
"A Pair of Grunters," illustrated by
The H. b. Shaffer Company, is IA picture
of two porkers, so well-fed they appear
to care little for the broken watermelon
i'll sight. Their hdbitm looks clean. but
picture-makers reproduce the possible
best. Indeed, it can be stated for artists
that they have little to do with hogs, or
a great mistake one time would have
been avoided. A painter pictured Il row
of shoats standing at ii trough eating
and MISUNDERSTANDING with military
precision. An old farmer, however,
shattered all the ideals of artistic real
ism current among its admirers by grutfly
whoever saw a lot of pigs
feeding that some of them didn't have
their feet i'll the trough" There is some
quiet amusement, however, back of the
Shaffer company'S selection of the
porkers.
The G.. E. Pearce Drug company is
sued two calendars-one "Moon-light
OH Manila Bay" the other large
weather signal poster of months, days,
lunar changes, etc. There are other fea-
lures which make it desirable hanger
for house and Office
