JoeMn.Ciy,~.s~lu.etigo, We have seen the famous Tai! I was awfully afraid of being disappointed in it, for from the hor- r ible littie images thrust at us every- wbere it was a very bàland plas- tery looking thing. But the moment we aiightedfrom ou r cars and looked tbrougb the greatt red' sandstone beauty.after ail. Therichneéss of -the red walls, the brilliance ýofý the lawns, and beds of flowers, the synmetry of the mosques placed at some distance on- either_ side, and penhaps more than ail the dark green of thecedar N rToZ;mprannired bridge you 4 of tbeu amart, d1is- tinctive pada of 10 shrees cach, iaupri nted with -a s t>lish monogram of thrce -initials, fur the surprisingly * ow price of one dollar.

As we sat on the lawn in the hush of the late afternoon we couid imagine that we were back in the days of the great Emperor who built it, for there were almost no tourists, about, only groups of -brilliantly and ricbly dressed Hin- dus, WIlking 'vith their stately 'tread up a1:nd.down the palis. Benares, *the holy city of. Iidia, is iincredible. I cannot 1try to describe. to you the batbing of thepilgrims in the river Ganges,' the moStfantasticý scene T have ever witnessed, viewed bv us, from -our b)arges on the, river on which we sat in, 'l think, kitcher chairs. Delhi is very different. More'Mo.- hammedan, than If indu it seerned- to us, and then,. too, the cieansing hand of Great Britain is very apparent. New Delhi, the govern1ment City, i boulevarded' and niarbie, columned to suit -any taste-except mine hc preferred the first niosque in, India dating f rom, 1166, a lovely old sand-, stone ruin, or tihe Ktitab-Jvlinar toweri a slender 'minaret, f rom a ýIightiy later date. As we Ieft the latter we met a live Maharajah who saluted us gravely. Maiiy notables of India are here for the horse races. When we returned to our hotel we found most of the notables there- principally Engiish but some Hindus, a few Hindu women unveiled with bobbed hair - and very graceful .9adapted"~ Hindu clothes; they were quite stunning. Tea on the terrace was a gala affair, and then. the din - rier at the hotel in the evening. When we tore ourselves away finally to get down to our train we found that a whoie city of shops had sprung up on the platform, the nmer- ,hants squatting like old spiders wait-, ng for their flies, the whole lighted DiIIE FL'YE R Route to it as that wei1 sce ail ourf riends again in 'Bombay where ail the par- ties join together,. and that ahead of us lie Singapore, java, Ceyion.
