ham St. Leger, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Bret Harte, and E. J. Goodman contribute stories, while the illustrations, mostly bearing on the text, are by J. Bernard Partridge, J. H. Bacon, H. C. Olsen, and Paul Hardy. A large coloured plate, more artistic than is usual, is a reproduction of Gainsborough's portrait of Mrs. Siddons. The illustrated papers have this year an important rival in Pears' Annual (Simpkin, 1s.), an incursion of advertisers into the publishing field which is full of omen for the future. For the number, however, we have nothing but praise. Three coloured plates, by W. S. Colman, Torrini, and Fred Morgan, are given, instead of one, and Lucius Rossi has excellently illustrated Charles Dickens's "Cricket on the Hearth." Mr. Henry Herman's short story, "A Night at Spa," illustrated by Lucien Davis, is dramatic and not devoid of merit. From over the water comes the Figaro Illustré Boussod, Valadon and Co. 3s. 6d.), printed in France, with English letterpress. The cover is particularly unprepossessing, but the coloured illustrations within are excellent. The first story is an antique legend by Jean Richepin, "The Holy Tear"; the second a story of modern lite by "Gyp," illustrated very naturally by Albert Lynch; the third and last story is by René de Pont-Jest; the number closing with a comic full page by Caran d'Ache. Pictorial World (18.) contains a very sensational story by George Hughes and Leonard S. Outram, illustrated by John Gulich, and a large coloured plate by S. E. Waller, Christmas Pensioners," together with a monotone animal picture by Louis Wain. The excellent cover of the Lady's Pictorial (1s.) will attract readers to its excel ent contents, the most prominent of which is a Japanese story told in verse by Sir Edwin Arnold, "The Grateful Foxes," and iliustrated in a surprisingly Japanese manner by F. H. Townsend. Among other contributors, literary and pictorial, are Marie Corelli, Maurice Greiffenhagen, J. Bernard Partridge, Ella Hepworth Dixon, Clo. ? Graves, F. T. Pegram, and J. F. Sullivan. The coloured plate, above the average in delicacy, is by V. Corcos. Yule Tide (Cassell, 18.) contains a long sea story in W. Clark Russell's well-known style. illustrated by that excellent sea-artist, W. H. Overend. Of the other illustrations we would particularly mention a wood engraving after E. Blair Leighton, and two coloured plates of reasonable size by Arthur Hopkins, and a larger one by Henrietta Rae. Truth Christmas number (1s.) is this year as entertaining as ever. Mr. F. C. Gould's caricatures, some of which are printed in colours, are exceedingly clever, while the rhymed commentary on the chief events of the year is smart and up to date. Conservative and Liberal alike will get many a hearty laugh out of Truth this year. Two children's numbers reach us. Father Christmas (Illustrated London News Office. Is.) is almost entirely composed of illustrations, and should be welcome in every well-conducted nursery. Fred. Morgan's large plate of a half-naked baby is well suited to children's taste. Chatterbor (Wells Gardner, 18.) contains letterpress and woodengravings suitable for the nursery, and three garish colour-plates, which will no doubt please children. The Penny Illustrated Paper (6d.) is as good as most of its dearer rivals. Stories by (among others) George R. Sims. John Latey, Manville Fenn, and Richard Henry are illustrated by Fred Barnard, Kate Greenaway, Louis Wain, F. H. Townsend, and Davidson Knowles. The print is large, and the coloured plate-for children-is good. The Detroit Fre: Press (6d.) relies on fiction, excellently illustrated by the Misses Harmond. The scene of Mr. Luke Sharp's story is laid on an Atlantic Liner. It is admirably told, crisp and readable, and should not be missed. The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic (1s.) has the seasonable title "Holly Leaves," and contains the usual budge; of interesting short stories and articles sporting, dramatic, and general-and numerous full-page engravings by well-known artists, among whom are Alfred Bryan, J. Jellicoe, J. Sturgess, and Davidson Knowles. The large coloured plate, for which the editor claims an unusua! artistic excellence in reproduction, is entitled "Little Dame Durden," by H. Smiechen. The Monthly Packet (23.), with its numerous short stories, will appeal more particularly to young girls. We can promise that they will not be disappointed. The Christmas number of the Sunday Magazine (6d.) contains a long story by Evelyn Everett-Green, illustrated by W. S. Stacey; that of Good Words (6d.), stories by Dr. Conan Doyle and Gilbert Parker, illustrated by Paul Hardy and Gordon Browne; while that of Atalanta (18.) contains a long tea story by W. Clark Russell, illustrated profusely by Everard Hopkins. The Gentlewoman (1s.) has an excellent number, containing stories and poems by Grant Allen, Conan Doyle, Mrs. Campbell Praed, Henry Herman, Florence Warden. B. L. Farjeon, and Lord Brabourne, with numerous illustrations, and instead of the usual coloured plate, a beautiful engraving, by E. G. Thomson, of a female head, printed on satin. The Art Annual (Virtue, 2s. 6d.) is placed last because it is the most artistic. It is devoted to a study, by W. Armstrong, of the life and work of the well-known animal painter, Briton Riviere. It is superfluous to speak of the excellence of the reproductions-at least three are worth framing,

DIARIES AND ALMANACKS.

Messrs. John Walker and Co. (of Warwick Lane) have sent us a selection of their "Loop-Back" pocket diaries, of which they make a speciality. They are certainly wonderfully handy and portable, and ich is furnished with an excellent pencil, fitted into a loop at the back, a particularly useful invention. Printed on specially prepared thin paper, with pages for appointments, memoranda, addresses, letter register, and cash account, we pronounce them the most handy and useful pocket-books of the season. No.7 (28.), a new shape which does not bulge the pocket, we like best, but for a business man the

letter-size diaries will prove more useful, while for those who desire something small, the No. 1 diary will be acceptable.

Messrs. Cassell and Co. have sent us a selection of the Rough, Com mercial, Office, and Pocket Editions of Letts' Diaries, which they publish for the Letts' Diary Company, Limited. Toe large rough diary (No. 31, 1s. 6d.) giving a week at an opening, will be admirable for office purposes, white for the ordinary man or woman, intent on keeping a full and complete account of the whole day's doings, we recommend No. 8 (68. 6d), which is of ordinary book shape, with one day to the page." No. 18 (2s. 6d.) is a useful and compact pocket diary. The Nonpareil Diary (63.) is also very compact and has a handy leather case for letters, cards, etc. At the end of the year a re-fill can be purchased for 2s., so that it will come cheaper in the end to get the better class diary. We may add that in every case the paper is excellent. There is nothing at all finnicking about the diaries of Messrs. Charles Letts & Co.. (3, Royal Exchange, E.C.), whose productions are evidently intended for work and not for show. Their pocket diaries are ali neat, handy, and concise in their contents-especially is this the case with Nos. 27 and 29, both of which are models of compactness. An excellent tablet diary for the wall gives room for notes, and will prove particularly useful to the busy man of business, who will also do well to see No. 181 (48. 6d), a handy diary of crown size, showing two days at an opening. The larger diaries (Nos. 3636, 64B, and 51), giving a week at an opening, are also very cheap, and will prove very useful. The same firm also send us a "Household Account Book" (1s. 6d.) and a "Cellar Book for Large or Small Cellars" (1s. ed.).

"Pocket Whitakers" one might call the diaries of Messrs. De La Rue and Co, whose goods are most particularly adapted for the use of ladies, so dainty and so small are they made. No. 3,544c is, however, large and bulky enough for any man, and is, in fact, a purse and diary comb ned, and at the end of the year it can be refilled. No. 8,827B is just the thing for a lady, for, as in the previous case, it combines purse and diary, and contains also card and stamp cases. The little engagement books are very dainty and pretty, while the engagement, books and cardcases combined should have a ready sale. Messis. De La Rue also publish an admirable engagement diary for the desk, and a "Boudoir Calendar," which is quite a model of delicate printing.

Games.-Three new games (1s. each) are sent us by Messrs. Hildersheimer and Faulkner, which will greatly add to the hilarity of any Christmas party. "Stumbling Blocks" and "Flickem" will be played for diversion pure and simple, out "Spottit" is an educational game. although none the less amusing on that account.

us.

CHRISTMAS CARDS.

CHRISTMAS CARDS seem steadily improving, if we can judge from the selection which Messrs. Hildesheimer and Faulkner have sent The crude and ugly designs of past years have almost entirely vanished, and in their place we have cards and booklets-for small colour booklets are rapidly taking the place of the more expensive cards of surprising beauty and delicacy. This firm seems to publish cards of all sorts; comic and reversible scenes, pastoral subjects, children, animals, are all to be found in the heap before us, and we are glad to see that the artist's name is printed on the envelop in which the cards are plac-d. Messrs. Hildesheimer's booklets are very pretty, two Souvenirs of Venice (1s. 6d. each), and those devoted to Stratford-onAvon and to Bettws-y-Coed (1s. each), being particularly worthy of praise, while the little books for children are very humorous and cleverly drawn and executed. A more expensive work of this class is Mr. Clark's "Well-known Characters from Dickens" (6s.), a series of colour drawings from the novelist's works, with appropriate quotations.

Messrs. Raphael Tuck and Sons are in no way behind their rivals in the variety, beauty, and delicacy of their cards and booklets. They seem to have catered for every taste. For the art lover they have a series of etchings of dogs by R. Ansdell, R.A., and a large panel reproductionvery excellently printed-of Sir Joshua Reynolds' The Angelic Choir." For children they have numerous animal subjects, together with some charming little cards of Japanese and Chinese Children. They are particularly strong in humorous subjects, in comic love scenes, etc., while for those who prefer a good show for their money, they have some particularly gorgeous designs, resplendent in lace and satin-a pair of bellows made of cardboard and silk being particularly noticeable. This firm alone, we understand, disposed of over twenty-one million cards and half a million booklets last year.

The cards of Messrs. John Walker & Co. are of an entirely different kind, and are more likely to appeal to that public whose artistic taste prefers a simple single-colour design to the obtrusive and garish tints which too often disfigure these Christmas reminders. They are entitled "The Society Cards," have a space for the name of the sender, and are Bold in boxes. The shapes and prices are very various, and envelopes, which exactly match, both in tint and shape, are presented with the cards. The same firm also publishes a number of cards with very delicate steel engravings by Birket Foster for design; one in particular, of a "Venice Canal," calls for the highest praise. A new departure is taken in publishing cards made of thin strips of wood, the device of which is entirely worked by the point of a hot iron. Hand-painted floral designs and rural scenes, both on paper and ivorine, are also very much to the front. In fact, we would advise every one who prefers a tasteful design to gaudy colours to ask for the "Society Cards," and, in the words of the advertisement, to see that they get them.

Miss Clifford (of 44, Hill Road, Wimbledon) has sent me some autotype reproductions in the shape of Christmas cards of Miss Marian Gardiner's drawings of Wimbledon, which should be popular.
