This folded card may Whatever be the specific character of be rhomboidal or rectangular, as shown, having the corners b b diametrically opposed, which corners fit into the slits a a,,formed in the card, so that the color-box is thus shipped as a part of the card-and can be removed and opened, as shown in'Fig. 2, for decorating the figure. Afterward the card may be destroyed or retained, if desired.

Having described our invention, we c1airn 1. In combination with an advertising-card provided with slits, a detachable folded card containing color-blocks on an inner face of the fold and provided with corners adapted to engage with the slits of said advertising-card, substantially as described.

2. An advertising-card containing a figure in drawing, in combination with a folded polygonal card having color-blocks imprinted on an inner face of the fold, slits in the advertising-card adapted to receive two opposite corners of the folded card, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
