We entered through a gate in a hiffh stuccoed wall and found ourselves on a . THE RETURN 107 flagged path in a rain-drenched garden. Around the corner of the house we went up a short flight of steps and knocked at a glass paneled door. It instantly was opened by a quaint and charming old lady whose absolute replica hovered in the background. The large hall was lined with big wooden coffers and presses. Through the cur- tained doors of these furnishings I saw piles of the heavy hand-woven sheets... and pillow cases, embroidered bed covers, and other linens that are the pride of a Serbian household. The shelves of another revealed row upon row of glass jars of fruit and syrups of which the people are very fond. I was ushered into a pleasant room with great shuttered windows opening on the street. The walls of the room were ornamented with bright- hued native tapestries and the table cover was a brilliant specimen of hand-woven silk and linen threads finely embroidered. Coffee was brought in on a beautifully carved tray and that invari- able adjunct to Serbian hospitality, a large carafe of sparkling cold water.
