    _—¦ ' — - - . _—^——» W ~ ~ _W _~—P ~ _. - ii Diaries of Messrs . De la Rue 6 . Co . have long been famed for their artistic excellence , beauty of workmanship , and useful design . Their nHE 'Finger' and other pocket diaries have attained a notable and well-marked success . The Finger Diary alluded to is an admirable aid to memory , adapted for the waistcoat pocket . It is issued in two forms of binding , one morocco , the other russia leather . Among the plainer and pre-eminently useful productions of the firm , the Desk Diary deservedly holds a high place . It is well arranged , clearly printed , and composed of excellent paper . The publishers also issue a serviceable series of Pocket Calendars which occupy little or no room and are thus admirably adapted for the demands of - _ , constant reference . The ™ Calendars , issued in various shapes and colours of binding , are both ornamental and useful . The Condensed Diaiy and Engagement Book calls for favourable mention . More expensive productions of the firm embrace a number of diaries suitable for Christmas presents . The Improved Indelible Diary for the pocket may be had in three sizes fitted in velvet , russia , cal diaries f , Turkey is the morocco marvellous , Persian amount or of French information morocco they cases contain . A . distinguishing As presents feature we can of imag these ine nothing more suitable or useful , and since they are issued in various degrees of binding it should certainly not be difficult to select a diary to suit every variety of taste . Like the remainder of Messrs . De La Rue ' s productions they are beyond all praise . We have received the usual supply of games which Messrs . Myers « Su Co . annually provide for the amusement of young folk at Christmas time . Merry and many games are essential in the happy evenings of gay delight , when ruddy light gleams on the leaves of holly and mistletoe . 'Upsand Downs' is a happy game for any number of players , and much interest will be taken in the course of the playing . ' Struwwelpeter' is a name familiar in connection with one of the best of children ' s stories - By permission it has been associated with a new and lively game , which Messrs . Myers have produced ; thirty-six bright picture cards being supplied for the entertainment . Thirty-two cards are furnished for the game ' Cock-adoodle-doo ! ' which may prove rather noisy , but will certainly delight children . The beautiful books which Messrs . Hildeshelmer _dt Faulkner introduced a year or two ago are still being followed by others of surpassing merit . This year the firm has brought out an exquisitely-illustrated edition of 'The Deserted Village . ' Both in drawing and in tints the understood book is delig the htful quiet to di look gnity upon and , and music there of Goldsmith is every ' evidence s masterly that work the . ' artists Cape Town have Dick felt y and ' is a children's book written by Theo . Gift . The talented Miss Alice Havers contributes the choicel monotint y-coloured drawings . pages Both , and books Mr . are Ernest worth Wilson y of the supp renown lies the of the finel house y-conceived of Messrs and . finished Hildesheimer & Faulkner .
