ART TEXTILES. 
The collection of art textiles and other art objects started in the 
spring of 1908 by Mrs. James W. Pinchot, assisted by other ladies of 
Washington, was very materially increased during the year both by 
loans and by gifts, two of the latter being especially noteworthy. 
The importance of this movement, which it is designed shall lead to 
the formation of a worthy permanent collection, can not be over- 
estimated, and it is gratifying to note that the interest on the part 
of contributors has continued unabated. That the subject is an 
appropriate one to encourage is demonstrated by the attention it 
receives in the important art museums of the world, and that it is 
appreciated by the public is shown by the number of visitors at- 
tracted to the hall in which the specimens are displayed. While 
appealing to the esthetic sense through beauty and delicacy of de- 
sign, it is from a utilitarian point of view that the matter is mainly 
being considered by the Museum. By stimulating and furnishing 
motives for the higher grades of handiwork, several: lines of indus- 
trial activities long fostered in European countries and for which a 
promising field exists in the United States can be very materially 
aided. For this purpose a large collection is required, containing 
as many and as varied examples as can be brought together, and it 
is hoped, therefore, that the efforts of the ladies, on whom the bur- 
den of the work has so far fallen, will be properly sustained. 
With the transfer of the paintings to the new building and the 
removal of the western and middle screens, it became possible to
