Pretty Pictures From Stamps

ffOlll tnt hdiisdS tity s'tdi.
 Someone has got some clever pictures made of cancelled postage stamps. The idea has been incorporated in children s book One sheet contains colored pie ture, the opposite sheet contains an out line picture. The color is supplied by pastinR in place cancelled postage stamps of various denominations.
 In the colored picture the kind of stamps to use is clearly indicated. Yet so clever is the use of the stamps that the pie lures made are really decidedly attrac- tive
 Just to show what can be done in this way some large pictures made with post nge stamps have been framed and ex- hibited. One shows young woman in her bedroom. The paper shows design of green. or conventional order. made with rarrow clippings from the edge of green stamps The young woman wears Q neglfgee made of stamps. so cut that the lines and folds of the garment are grace fully made. In her hand she holds q bunch of violets, made from purple stamps. and on her dressing table is a rose from red stamp, in tall iridescent vase, very skillfuly made from bits of colored stamps The spread on the bed Is made of other stamps. and so are the chintz hangInes Tho whole idea is clever, and really interesting results may be had after . little practice.
