Messrs . J . Walker & Co . of Farringdon House , Warwick Lane , E . C ., have brought out the
' Adjustable Desk Rack , ' which is likely to supersede the old-fashioned and tiresome desk rack and book slide . It is fitted with light metal
partitions , which can be moved in a moment to make the divisions any required size . Another novelty 1 / 7 , adapted _ £ for those who want a handy
and inexpensive contrivance for copying letters , is the * Anchor Portable Copying Press . ' The ordinary awkward-looking four-legged stand ,
which has to be secured to the floor , is dispensed with , and two blocks of wood and an iron grip take its p r lace _____ . By — simp . ly turning ^___ the . _ iron gri ___ j p _
or handle , the letter ^ -book receives the necessary ^ , pressure , and the copying process is complete . ¦ It ——— — — — _ can —_ - ' —_—r~— ° *—— - ^_ B be ——_— ' ~^^ T easil ~_^ ~^~~~ ~~ i * ^ ^^ y W ¦ packed H ^_~ _—^™ " ~—~ ——— ^— — ~_ V —W ~_¦ — and * # ——— ——i —— - ~—i" —V carried —fcF » ^ p——_ F _— - —¦ ¦ —— —i ~— — , V and —^—BT ^— - —¦— - ~ " —_ — there — — — — —¦ ^—» — . ** ——— ——— — is —— " •—~

Messrs . Marcus Ward & Co . are introducing a number of novelties in Christmas Cards . The
' Tambourine' and the ' Fan' designs are particularly effective . The * Christmas Cracker' is appropriate and striking , whilst the droll element
is represented by soldiers , sailors , sandwich-men , and policemen punched out in four-fold figures . The box of fifty well-assorted cards for a shilling
is a marvel of cheapness . A new series of coloured W The all tablets Calendars in the , with 4 Shaksp block e t ablets e , ' * Day , is n unto ow read Day y , . '
and ' Every Day , ' contain , respectively , quotations from the dramatist , from Scripture , and from celebrated authors . The ; Boudoir' contains
poetical selections for every day in the year , whilst the tablets in the Commercial Calendar , * To-day , ' are printed with the date only . A
number of single and folding calendars , with new and extremely chaste designs , are also readj r . The 'Oriel' Photo Scrap Album , in t - hree - - - sizes -
» — , wit d _ . h 4 pat ent met al _¦ binde - _ l __ ¦« ^ r , will _ - ^ ^ be ^ welcomed ^ -m b y collectors of photographs . Each page can be easily removed and replacedwhen necessary — —
without if sending to a bookbinder JL , . The mounts •/ , can be marked and the pages decorated apart from the binding- The metal contrivance for
holding and releasing the pages is at once simple and durable . Another novelty of this enterprising firm is a glass Photo Frame , with the photo
mounted at the back of the glass . The imitation carved wood frames for photographs—* Imperial , ' * Panel' and ' Boudoir '—are suitable for
drawingroom tables , and walls , and are ingenious specimens of the art of imitation . ' The composition used to represent the carved work is so naturally
designed and skilfully manipulated that it might well pass for the genuine article . Special attention ought also to be directed to the new Portrait
Al from bums Turnbull for band ' s -painting 4 Coronet . ' The mounts leaves with are roug made h surface ; the openings for the photographs arc
placed in various positions with sufficient space for exceeding the ¦ Hfe p l ainted y durable desi . i gns No , effort and the has bindings been rfnj 0 m spared arc
