cartoon that Is worth considering tells
its story at a glance and conveys its
message with q single blow. Mr.. Ber-
ryman, in dealing with public ques-

ridicule, but even when most stringent,
there Is q smile lurking somewhere
which mitigates the sting. Mr.. TaIburt
Is sterner in his expression and at
times very grim. The personal ele-
ment does not seem to enter into his
compositions. he deals with national
and international trends and in no
uncertain terms. His manner of ex-
preston Is modernistic, but it carries,
and at times is very dramatic. He
was awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1885
for the best cartoon of the year. His
representation in the present exhibi-
ton is extremely well chosen. The
work of Clifford K. Bergman is too
well known to Star readers to need
description or praise. As every one
knows, the wise and comical little

many and notable have been the
cartoons wrought by the swift strokes
Of his gifted pen. Indeed, to such an
extent has this cartoonist won his
audience that he has become q figure
In Washington much honored and be-
loved. The drawings by James Berry
man included In this exhibition are
few and slight, but witness to an in
heritance in talent and show a style
not unlike his fathers.
