not likely that the nnmo Is usjd by any other

In short, thoro Is n great deal In a name In

Announcement has boon made from tfmo to

publisher has long boon planning nnd securing
features for this Issue, nnd tho preparations
havo so far culminated that somo of those can
now bo definitely announced.
In picking up tho Holiday Couuiku tho
first thing to be noticed will bo tho fact that
It Is bound in a iswutlful cover. This Is n
heavy lemon-colorod paper, nnd tho title
pago, u handsome original doi jn, will show
throe colors and tints, all blending most har
moniously. This number will htvo sixteen or twenty
pngos, and the Inside pages will bo on extra
heavy sized and calendered paper. Tho pages
will be of the usual sizo.
Lincoln Is n city of lieautlful homes, nnd
many of the flnost will bo represontisl In tho
Couuiku by engraved Illustrations.
A feature of sieclal Interest will bo a series
of finely engraved portraits representing tho
gentlemen in an inior!aut lino of business.
Among tho art Illustrations will bo a largo
engraving, representing six notable paintings
by EurniHMii artists, but now owned In Amer
ica. This engraving Is made In thooxcnslve
process known ns half tone. It Is mndo from
photographs taken direct from tho pnlntliigs
themselves.
The Couuiku has boon negotiating for a
photograph of tho famous picture, "Tho An
gelus," for a half tono engraving of it, nnd
whllo It cannot lie piomised Misitive1y nt this
writing it Is oxocted this engraved copy will
ben feature of the holiday issue. "The An
golus," it will be rcniembeied, wns taught by
Americans for 110,000 in competition with
tho French government. It Is now tho central
attraction lu n big art exhibit in New York,
and it lias a special Interest for Lincoln yvo
plo becauso tho Hiiydou Art club expects to
have it heio on exhibition tho lutter part of
tho wli.ter.
"The Coming of tho Storm King" will lie
an engraving symbolical of the season made
eqiccliilly In Now York from the drawing of
a Getmiiti artist.
There will be other engravings of minor
interest.
Among the contributions will bo n spocinl
article on art in architecture by Miss Harah
Wool Moore, who Is at the head of tLo art
depurtuiont at tho BUito university, Ml"8
Moote's life hns bot'n given to the study of
art, and this article will bu of great practical
value.
Hon. C, II. Goro, editor of tho State Jour
nal, will bo represented by an able nnd coin
prelioiislvo nttlclo on "Caricature." Tho
writer begins with tho Kiiu-diicd bricks of
Chuldcu and traces tho i Ise nnd development
of tho art to the colired cm toon of today,
Tho article shows txlmustlvo resoarch and
philosophic redaction, but through It runs a,
Hue vein of humor.
Under the caption of "Look to Your
Daushters." Ella Wheolor Wilcox will ex
plain why somo gli Is elopo with a coaehmau.
Hhe will tell something about girl nature, Its
beiitlment8 and its ideals, and she will sc'io
mothers for tholr failure to bo tholr daugh
ters' ooiilldnnts. It toucho on delicate
ground, but it isdonoso tactfully as to givo
no olfeuse, whllo its sound sense will com
