manner which compares favorably
with the best work of this particular
school. There are quite a number of
works in the cubist style, but one
does not need TO look at them If one
does not wish to. There are also GER

style of 90 years ago which are no
less engaging. But one can turn from
these, too, If so inclined.

modernists represented in this eXhi'

follows:

heads of the others, got aboard and

stop another hundred Osijekers tried
to get aboard, and only two managed
to get hold somewhere. The others
looked after us disappointed. They
seem mad. They laugh and shout and
fling their heads. They marvel, They
ask how electricity can make a street
car run.
Those inside scuffle for elbow room.
Soon we are as crowded as sardines
in a can. The conductor demands our
fares. All laugh more heartily than
ever and throw coins to him. Now 1t
is a rush to get ticket as a souvenir.
Half of us cannot pay at all. SO it

wanted to ride. Then at night the
