India is a country of eternal holi- day Every sect and tribe, roughly speaking, has its own festivals, and these are religiously observed. On such occasions the open spaces are filled with swings and merry-go- rounds, and the booths \ghere food and sweetmeats are sold doa roaring trade. It is very interesting watch the different racial types thst come to make holiday--here women veiled and mysterious, there women who show their faces and wear tight-fitting trousers instead of skirts. The people are of all shades--{from the fair, al- most European, complexion of the northern types, to the practically coal-black of the original Dravidean stock of the south. It is in India, at the typical religious fairs, that will see the quaint originals of the "Great Wheels™ visitors of the west. Marriage In Burma. 1} Burma marriage is civil, pot re- , and is regarded as a simple tnership which, if not happy, may be dissolved at any time. After mar- riage there is no outward symbol like a wedding ring on a Burmese woman. She does not even adopt her hus band s nawe, but retains her own. The husband has no right over the roperty which his wife possesses be- Foe marriage nor over the property which she might aequire after mar- riage.
