This postcard shows a calendar for 1911 underneath the portrait of a woman. Charles C. Myers explains that he chose this postcard less for the calendar it shows, but for the example of mosaic tiling, which surrounds the picture of the woman. Many of the tables in Versailles were covered in mosaic tiling.
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This is a French post card calendar, but I have it to show at close range some of the mosaic work which is done by placing pieces of stone or tiling of the proper color and shade, together in an artistic way so as to properly form the desired object. The roses and leaves in the background of this picture are of mosaic and not painted as you think. most all the tables in the rooms of the palace have a covering of mosaic.”

Theodore Roosevelt praises Nicholas Longworth on the capital speech and extraordinary figures, which he will see if he can use. Roosevelt thinks they make a startling indictment of the good faith of President Wilson and his supporters. Roosevelt also shares a humorous story about receiving a Christmas letter along with a Navy Department calendar from Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, “that preposterous old grape-juice gentleman,” despite the fact that Roosevelt has attacked Daniels as strongly as he has attacked Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
