The New Series of _Once a Week_, started on January 6, 1866, was
preceded by a Christmas number, wherein one of the most graceful
drawings by Paul Gray is to be found, _The Chest with the Silver

Wedding_ (p. 37); G. Du Maurier, _The Ace of Hearts_ (p. 56); J.

composition by G. Du Maurier (_Frontispiece_); _The Vagrants_ (p. 112),
