USES FOR POSTCARDS
Decorative Value Of Pictorial Cards
Beginning to Be Recognized.


The possibilities of the pictorial post
card are beginning to be recognized in
America for its decorative value in
house interiors. 49,.
Those who live in America are just
beginning to come under the influence
of the pictorial postcard Of the better
class. It has. unfortunately, been de-
graded by many very questionable de-
signs, but there are pictorial subjects
in color which are Of the highest artis-
tic quality. These are the, cards. to
which reference is made in this article.
The newest recognition has been
given the pictorial card in the form
Of screen, which takes the place of
the postcard album. The screen is a
continuous display of one Of these col
lections. in which each card is finely
colored. -.
The varied tints and subjects in a
collection of the cards give unique re-
suits when they are tastefully arranged
in the screen.
The screen is so made that the cards
may be removed and replaced easily,
with a. constant change in the designs as
new cards are received, and the col
lector may go in for photographs pa
triotic subjects, Dutch prints, Of which
style pictorial cards, reproductions of
famous pictures, architectural interiors,
portraits of stage. folk, or dozen other
styles ofgpostcard. .-' b., &
I The available supply Of postcard de-
signs is illimitable as to quality OF
subject, and a decorative screen makes
one Of the best possible locations for
display of a collection Of subjects.
Furniture makers have recognized the
postcard in some Of the newer pieces
Of mission and nursery furniture. Some
of the new desks in brown oak, for IN
stance, have inlaid q number Of Dutch
cards, done in brilliant: delft blue. =
/! Cellarets are also made which have 8
j single postcard subject let into one OF
| the side panels Of the door with ex
cellent effect in color contrast.
~ A new nursery rockingchair has {
i juvenile: postcard let into the back o1
the chair as q motif. -$'s-.--
+ For wall decoration, one can arrange
a1coHection ofgpostcards in the form Of
g. continuous band or frieze running
around the sroom just at the photograph
The,eftect in such case Is excellent
especially if the remainder Of the wal
lis done in cartridge paper, or some
otherpaper without pattern or texture
thus giving full emphasis to the design
on the card subjects.
The idea Of making such borders W
from prints is one that is suited to thl
arts and crafts or mission room, ant
postcard sizes are not really essential
In many instances the decorator may
obtain panoramic views in color, show
ing natural scenery, or series of prints
on Interesting subjects may be obtained
in uniform size for the purpose, at .
small price. -

THE beauties of the country house

THE beauties of the country house
bedroom will be greatly, en-
HANGED this summer by it's
swung draperies ornamented with Irish
embroidery. The French shops-for
French shops are now the home Of the
Irish embroidery as well as the various
Irish laces-are showing the most raw
trimmed in this fashion. France has
literally taken over the Irish handi-
crafts and vast quantities Of this fash
ionable embroidery and lace are now
being made by the women of France.
The designs used for the bedroom
hangings are those which have been
shown during the spring on handker-
chiefs and collars. The work is not
open. at all. V ines and branches, hay
are the characteristic designs. If vines
or branches are not used the flowers
have long stems, which produce much
the same effect. The stems are crossed
and the branches or vines are meander-
ing. The general suggestion is of some
thing exceedingly light and airy.
Bedspreads are shown having deep
founces all the way around. The de-
sign is taken straight down the middle
Of the founce. Other spreads have the
design in the corners Of the plain part
and on the corners Of the founce. The
founce is then finished with hemstitch-
ing, and there is a band Of hemstitching
above the flounce.
There should be. pillowcases of COW
ers to match, also having founces and
embroidery arranged as on the, cover.
Sometimes the design is made only
across the corner of The cover.
Curtain Embroideries.
The window curtains have the en-
broidery down the two fronts and
across the bottom as well as on the
founce. at the top for drapery effect.
There is also bureau and dressing table
covers in this delectable style. The ma
terial used for these draperies and COW
ers when this particular embroidery is
used is sheer, either linen or cotton, but
Of the thinnest. quality. The embroid-
cry is only effective when it stands out
against such sheer material. Wild roses,
morning glories, daisies and poppies are
/ AS yet none Of this work is shown in
any but. floral designs.
Heavier linen is also used for bed
| spreads, bureau covers, curtains, etc.
! These heavy linen spreads are made
plain. The lace with which they are
trimmed is inset. Antique Italian lace
patterns, guipure, Cluny and Irish GRO.
chet are all used for this purpose.
/ Other new curtains for summer draw.
ing rooms, bedrooms, etc, are made OF
linen lawn, cotton etarnine and liner
trimmed with large pieces 11of italian
. flet lace, Cluny and English embroid
cry. These curtains are expensive
altho not SO much SO as the Irish EN-
broidered ones.
j For the less expensive curtains there
are those Of fowered lawn, which il

same treatment was used in making
bedspreads, bureau covers, etc., for cot

materials. Bright colored roses and all
the other chintz designs are printed on
dotted Swiss, barred muslin, ETC., for
the summer draperies.
They do we'll in certain places, but
are impossible in a handsomely fur
nished rooms, as. the designs, colors and
qualities employed are in most instances
not Of the finest.
More effective than the all-over flow
cred drapery muslins are the white cur
tains and bedspreads having borders
only Of flowers in bright colors. These
| have ruffles in some instances, but are
also used with a plain hemstitched fin
| ish.
/ There are also the colored linen and
lightweight crash curtains. These come
in pink, green, yellow, pale and dark
thick for windows, but may be used for
portieres. - ~
Some Table Covers.
To match these there are squares of
heavy colored linen with borders, to be
used for bedspreads or table covers. In
fact, the heavy colored linens are more
suitable for the other rooms of the
house than for the bedroom, as there
! they look almost too thick. In the
dining room or library they do very
well for the summer house.
Perhaps the prettiest, of the, heavy
linens and crashes for almost all rooms
are those in linen color with colored
! borders.
For thin drawing room curtains,
which are not to be in white or cream,
the lowered madras still reigns trium-
phant. These come in all sorts of col
ors and many show a mingling of many
hues. Last season the lattice curtains,
both! in white and colors, were SO ex-
a revulsion in favor Of all-over floral
/ patterns.
New covers for tables in summer bed
rooms, drawing rooms, ETC., are made of
colored or white taffeta with ornaments
of ribbon work, which is really part
narrow ribbon, part chenille and part
embroidery b The favorite designs are
ers,, garlands and stiff bouquets One
cover noticed was of pale blue taffeta.
It was long and narrow, suitable for q
table In bedroom, or even a dressing
i table it used under glass. A band 81
4 pale yellow tafeta was used as a bor-
i der, and at each end was large ribbon
| work basket filed with flowers done in
all the light shades. Another cover was
a in pale pink taffeta, also bordered with
4 bands Of yellow and embroidered with
stiff bouquets in ribbon work in each. OF
{ the four i corners A third cover OF
a white taffeta had wreaths and garlands
across each end.
Among the new cushions are many

DEATH STOPS BIGGEST APARTMENT

1t was reported yesterday that the death of

Grace Court 1t was 10 be the largest apart
ment house in the world petition was signed
by the Older residents OF the Heights. asking
the Heights Local Board that the property be
