A series of tivelve successive Icircles formed by the names ot the days ot' the Week are thus Written on the disk 7, Ahe method for which Will be readily apparent from the foregoing description.

It Will be noted that in the radial column D the space e is lett blank because there is no April 31st, and that the spaces y, g and h are also leit blank because there is no June 31, September 31 nor November 31, the triangular end 10 oit' the indicator 9 being at the space c, f, g and /1/ ivhen the numeral 31 is to the right ot April, June, September and November respectively.

In Figures 3 and 4 it will be noted that my calendar may comprise ay cover 15 which may be secured to the back 5. The cover 15 is provided with a slot 16 Which is Wedge shape.
