Unique Visiting Card.

Nine. Johanna Gadski has brought
to this country fad that has become
quite the rage in Germany, where it
was introduced by no less parsonage
than the crown princess herself. 1t
is a new form of visiting card, con-
tanning not only "a deliberately en-
graved border, but a silhouette of the
person it represents. The custom calls
for design appropriate to the hold
ers station. Thus, in Nine. Gardski's
case the prima donna's head Is framed
in a border of laurel, while Tyre
forms the base of the design. The
card is not only unique but exceed
ingly pretty and effective.

the poor have a monopoly on selec

those who are long on coin seem ut
terly unable to project their own point

whom they are choosing the rememb-

the sundown side of the Father OF
Waters 1t has never been our lot to

Christmas dismal. You are in doubt
as to what to give your friend. You
wait until the last moment for an
inspiration then you hurriedly select
the first object that greets your eye
in department store. The gift in
itself is usually sufficient evidence
that you were not inspired.

long furnished material for ambitious
humorists. His selections are usually
of two classes, intensely practical or
foolishly extravagant.
