WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 3 WHIPPING. LIQUOR CHASE EVIL SPIRIT At Least That's the Formula Prescribed by Hindus How natives of India believe hard luck may be avoided by application of clubs and switches was described Friday morning by Mrs. William C. Thackwell of Evanston in an address at the North Shore Country Day school in Winnetka. Mrs. Thackwell, who returned a tew weeks ago from a year's trip around the world, spent many months visting all parts of India. "While out driving near Bombay one time we passed a group of natives hurrying along the road, chanting and singing as they went," she said. "In the center of the crowd was a native whose painted face looked fiendish and who carried a huge branch from a tree. He danced as he was pushed along by the throng. Whips and Liquor "An English friend with us ex- plained that the unfortunate fellow was being taken down to the sea where the natives would beat him without mercy because his wife had died, or his house had burned, his crops had failed, or his cattle had died. The natives insisted that he was possessed of the evil spirit which they were obliged to beat out of him. He had been given liquor to make him stupid." Mrs. Thackwell gave facts about the ' situation in India and included in her story many illustrations of strange customs of the east. Describe Strange Customs "If one of your servants in Win- netka were to enter the drawing room * barefooted your parents would be in- sulted," she stated. "But over there it is a mark of disrespect if a ser- vant comes into the house wearing either shoes or hat. Even the Hindu women are barefooted. The women and girls wear a sari composed of many yards of straigh material draped | around the body and covering the head and right ear. One can learn the caste by noting the way in which the sari is draped." School books usually describe the elephant as India's beast of burden, as the means of doing heavy hauling. Mrs. Thackwell said that the motor truck has already replaced the ele- phant, DESCRIBES CIVIL WAR BATTLES TO ARCANIANS M. J.
