Picture Postcard Fans

The picture postcard is as much in evidence as
ever and an ingenious idea for utilizing really
artistic ones may commend itself to our readers
Get one of the twopenny Japanese folding fans,
and arrange your postcards to completely cover it,
cutting the edges of the top ones to shape with
the fan.
The novelty in this seemingly old idea consists
in not cumming the cards on the fan, but fixing
them through with manuscript paper clips The
cards thus held in position by a number OF
little brassheaded struts which look quite decora
tive on the one side and quite neat on the other,
besides forming a pretty whole. The idea could
be used for fan fire screens which would be very
effective.
