Elsberg collection of coptic and Islamic textiles, a recent addition to the University collection, will be presented to the public at the Rackham Building under the sponsorship of the department of Fine Arts. The exhibition is composed of 144 examples of fine weaving found in Egypt andassembled overbmany years by the late Mr. Elsberg of New York City, a noted collector of ancient Near Eastern, European and Peruvian textiles. The textiles were selected to illus- trate the history of the art of weav- ing in Egypt from the third or fourth centuries A.D., Hellenistic examples, to later Coptic cloths, through the transition period, showing the grad- ual change in taste after the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641 A.D. to a new style of decoration which be- came popular under the lFatinid dynasty. Two of the pieces included in the textile in the Islamic group is con- collection are inscribed with the sidered of particular interest, be- I cause the inscription maintains that name of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mog- it was made in Persia at the town tadir and are dated A.D. 917 and of Sabur. A few of the group, how- 925. The Islamic textiles were prob- ever, were evidently found in graves ably found in the ruins of Fostat, in the Fayoum. 4 r l ANDY SERVICE IRECTORY 191111 r !i SGECIAL TUSSY OFFER REGULAR $2.00 LIPSTICK OPEN EVENINGS . . .

May 4, 1940 GENTLEMEN: I I I I I I1 You can rent every room in your house to summer students. An exceptionally large registration is expected this summer; thousands will be seeking rooms. And notwithstanding the competition of dressy dormi- tories and dolled-up rooming houses, there is one SURE way to attract a full quota to YOUR HOUSE: PUT COLORFUL FOX AWNINGS ON ALL YOUR SUNNY WINDOWS By doing so, you add oodles of oomph to the outside, and completely cool comfort to the inside of the house. And the Cost? Clad you asked! An awning for the average small window, costs but $6.00 or so. Spread over a ten-week rental-period, the COST WOULD BE REPAID IN A SINGLE SUMMER, by adding only 60c per week per window to the price. We think this would be getting your investment back pretty fast-but other renters of awninged rooms will be asking much more for theirs. And at the price, the extra comfort is decidedly inexpensive. But Remember; FOX Awnings last, not one year or two years, but, with care, from eight to ten years. After the first year or two, all extra income would be profit for the house.
