CHRISTMAS CARDS, CALENDAR, AND LITERATURE FOR THE BLIND.—Christmas literary fare
for the blind continues to be provided by the editors of the Braille Weekly Sununary, Eltham, Kent. We notice that a squirrel adorns one of their new embossed Christmas cards. They publish an eighth series of "Day by Day" devotional readings for a month, with extracts from writers saintly, episcopal, and lay. The Calendar for 1910 gives well-chosen mottoes from Tennyson, that for October blowing a counterblast to the suffragist craze. We congratulate the editors of the Weekly Summary on the high level maintained by their newspaper, which supplies the blind in a handy and readable form with an intelligent and impartial report of the world's doings both at home and abroad, the special interests of the blind being always kept in view. This paper retains the generous old custom of presenting its readers with a Christmas number, this year's bane containing a awry by Mrs. Flora Annie Steel, "The Regeneration of Daisy BelL" Its moderate price of sixpence post-free to non-subscribers suggests that it would make a possible and pleasant form of Christmas card to send to blind friends.
