A BENEFICENT CHRISTMAS CARD.
Among other energetic bodies, the Norfolk Naturalists' Trust is already anticipating Christmas. For the third year it is issuing a Christmas card of • an original and delightful sort, for the purpose of buying a sanctuary and financing bird protection. In this most desirable crusade readers of the Spectator have co-operated generously. They bought last year's Christmas card in many hundreds. If as many people buy this year's Goldfinch as bought last year's Crossbill, Alderieia Broad, the most peaceful and complete sanctuary that I ever saw, will be fully purchased. One reason for anticipating Christmas by so large a margin is that requests for the card came from all round the Empire and from the United States. Happily, as the word Christmas does not appear on the card, it will serve equally well for the New Year.
