THE WORK OF A CAPABLE STAFF.

"The British Printer" of a recent - | date publishes discriminating praise of a New Zealand contemporary. It says: . 'The Christmas, 1913, issue, of 'The- ; Weekly Press,' Christchurch, surely surpasses any of its predecessors. A capa- - We artist has evidently had a free hand in the lay-out of its pages with tho - result that there is a freedom from restraint, a daintiness, a tone of genuine originality and yet of true harmony throughout which is delightful to the , . critic. The series of magnificent photo-' graphic views which are utilised as full ~ pages or in. grouped form afford oppor- ,' ' tumty tor the utilisation of a charming array of" panel designs and headpieces. ' -• J lie illustrations themselves are exceedingly attractive, and of course tho more " • so on account of their charging setting ' ' We have to commend also tho skilful use of a touch of colour here and there and the success made in tho adaptation tints. The whole is a work of a capable staff right from tho inception through all the stages of printing A dainty cover in colours and gold is -■ utilised; but we fear it is somewhat too sombre for full effect, at least" in _ -tritish winter climate."
