A catslogae of 260 pag: is required to do justice to Messrs. Raphael Tack Sons' publications at Ch: istmas time and each page does its duty well. Each year seems to produce rome dominant note in the Obristmas Cards, and this season we detect an artistic' simplicity that is no less effective than the more ornate productions of previous years. The finish is always the same; the words in many cases are of particularly happy choice, Then in other directions there are may familiar and features. The are splendid works of art, wh postcards sre, as usual, infinite in their variety. "Father Tuck's Annual" is quite one of the prettiest and most attractive volarness of its kind this year, and is s source of never failing joy to the youthful recipient. Gift books, toy books, mechanical animals and many other attractions also issue forth Raphael House and no word of praise can be too high for them.
