Everybody who is anybody, and that means all nice people, is interest ed in the poster decorative idea. It has so many forms that it would be almost an endless task to attempt a list, but the Great Philadelphia Sun day "Press" has taken hold of one possibility that is certain to get every body in this section talking. With every copy of the Philadelphia "Press" of next Sunday (August 5) will be given free a beautiful picture, size 20 xa8 inches entitled "The Maids of Fair Japan." It is by Arter, and that guarantees its quality. As a picture it is well worthy of framing, but if you wish to be in the swim you will take a pair of scissors, cut around the lines of the girls' faces and the flowers, and then paste the picture on a dark back ground of any material. Try it and you will have the most striking poster effect of the year. It will be neces sary to make certain early this week that you can get next "Sunday's Press," because the demand is certain to be tremendous and the supply will be limited. i Stner colds I are noted for hanging on.
