1t is to be feared that Orientalism
will exercise u controlling influence
over our fashionable destinies for the
next few years. People are running
wild after the grotesque articles ex-
hibited here III the several Asiatic de.
partments. Chinese and Japanese
work, especially, is the admiration of
the throngs. lii the Main Building.
the large sections containing these ex.
hibits are always crowded F.; and I no.
