GIBSON PICTURE FAD
SEIZESCOLLECTORS
Takes Place of Post Card Craze
. With the Young
Women.
The CHbaon picture habit has been ef
fectually fastened on bis proportion of
the reading population of this section by
the publication by the Sunday North
American of ten of the latest of this
great American artist's pictures as art
supplements. It hns etRrted the Olbwn
cnllectlnn fad, and this promises to last
until the last of the pictures are out.
There wns a time when the Olbson girl
was the Idol of the young woman. Now
the Gibson art supplement gives every
body an opportunity to collect the artist's
works, and there will be few homes that
will not have a good representation with
In the next few weeks.
For the time being the collection ol
Gibson drawings has taken the place ot
the collection of post cards In Philadel
phia, and the fad Is certain to spread to
all of the towns where the pictures are
made so easily obtainable.
The picture whic h The North American
Is to Issue next Sunday Is "A Castle In
the Air." It Is one of the most forceful
of Gibson's works, and teaches a broad
moral lesson to young people and ol"
alike.
