from the ground, or on the steps Of build
ings. The scene presented To a stranger is
indeed picturesque. IL is well known that
Indians are very fond of bright cnlors. and
all that can afford il indulge in this fancy
10 the utmost Some of the hlushlng
maidens may lie seen in crimson, blue and
green plush dresses, and even bead covered
wraps, bangs in the latest style and a pro-
