Meaars. Stockl and Nathan (30 and 32 Jewin Crescent) send

us specimens of their very elaborate Christmas and New-Year's Cards, many of them in compartments and fringed with silk,—an ornamental effect which we hardly appreciate as appropriate to Christmas cards.

The cards range in price from one penny to five shillings, and are all in good taste,—at least, if the silk fringes of the more elaborate cards be excepted, and that is a matter of individual taste. The prettiest of them are landscapes of considerable beauty ; bat the flowers are also very delicately executed.
