CHRISTMAS CARDS AND CALENDARS
PROBABLY the Medici Society does much to keep alive the gesture of sending Christmas cards ; for without it a man of reasonable good taste finds it hard to select anything pleasant to send to his friends. There are the British Museum post- cards, of course ; this year we have a new set of fifteen minia- tures of the Nativity and Epiphany. But these can be used equally well at any season of the year, though with especial appropriateness now. Messrs. A. R. Mowbray send a large selection, and some of the plainer ones are attractive. We fall back generally on the Medici Society. This year there arc reproductions of Rembrandt, Diirer, and Botticelli. The modern works reproduced are undistinguished, except for a series by Mr. William Nicholson. Not all the Medici calendars arc of interest, but we shall probably find satisfaction in one of them. Messrs. Mowbray publish their well-known series of Church calendars, in a large range of prices : the pleaSantest is the Red Letter Kalendar ; but the others have their several uses.
