Messrs. De La Rue are considerably reducing the prices of

their diaries. The bindings are, as usual, serviceable and attractive, and the thin but opaque paper makes these diaries surprisingly compact. For instance, a diary about five inches high containing four days to a page, with many pages ruled for cash accounts, an alphabetical index for addresses, and a small pocket for visiting cards, is less than a quarter of an inch thick. The fixed ribbon marker is a welcome innovation.
