over to the antics Of the Fakirs, an or

Art Students League. No. 2l5 West 57th

studios on the top floor. The programme
FOR the week included such things as the
fake exhibition and side show. and on
Thursday night the auction of the pictures
OF tne exhibit.
When one entered the league building
there was little to suggest students revel.
Along a quiet hail YOU walked 10 the gal
ler-es where the Academy of Design is
holding its exhibition. Persons visiting
these galleries walked on tiptoc and con-
vorsed i'm undertones. as though fearful Of
disturbing the repose Of the figures on the
canvases and IN the modelled clay. All
was pervaded by an air Of peace-no hint
of maddening crowds Of fakirs.
But as YOU started UP the stairs the at
rosphere Of peace fell behind and the air
was rent with wild and hideous sounds. II
might have been IA heavy dinner AT the Zoo
