dazzling light, and you cast your eyes with a
sense of relief up to the beautiful tamarlnd
trees with their wealth Of exquisite foliage.
Now puff of wind sets not only the leaves
quivering, but puts in motion a cloud of fine
white dust, and sends it in spiteful gusts

by the cruel heat. Sitting on the broad
verandas of some of the bungalows were
family parties gathered about small tables,
refreshing themselves with toast and tea
with which the day in India invariably be-

On the roads we're long lines of men and
women on their way to market, bearing on
their heads baskets filled with golden melons
or the luscious mango, a fruit much es-
teemed by foreigners as well as BY the ma
tives of the country. Others were carrying
huge baskets filled with large, coarse
cucumber. Under some great mango trees
