woR1D's FAIR, Aug. p II Ispecial-l =
Ono OF the pleasantest features of this fair
IS that distinguished foreigners Of all sorts
in race, dress and color walk around
among us common folks, and are not an
moved by people erowding around or star
ing at them. The visitors are so satiated
with grandsicAtst that they would not turn
around to look twice ut anybody less than
I, monarch or a president I was sitting
l.be other afternoon at table in the open
mir eafc opposito the India building when
y tan. distinguished looking gentleman
about IS dark as a mulatto, accompanied
by n stin taller Englishman, walked in,
al down opposite me and called for coffee.
Tho dark man was dressed in an elegant
gray suit, American cut. but wore very
hisa turbsn in white silk. It was the Ma
barajal Of Sapurthala.
couId but admire the fine contour OF
his head and face He has an ideally
y Greek profile, the only defect, if such it
may be called. being that his exquisiteiy
shaped nose is a little too small. Theysat
lona and talked with animation about
the improving prospects Of a large attend-
anee at tile fair, but Of the many who
passed not one gaYe more than second
glance or paused in his course. His Eng
iIsh is peculiar. It is little too correct,
SO to speak, that is he talks rather slowly
with careful euunciation as If he were read
ing from n very precise book. 1t IS s'lld
that he speaks French more fiuently than
English. and Spanish and German only
tolerably we'll.
ASH fingered as long as possible overmy
simmer and looked at him from time TO
fine many whimsical thoughts rose inmy
mind about our early impressions OF TAR
foreign folks, especially the Hindoos, and
certain lines struggled up in memory,
lines I often heard many years ago at
MACE used to visit once week. / forget
the connection but there was something
in the piece about "only man Is vile, and
how "the heather in his blindness on
India,s coral strand bows down to wood
and stone, ," in spite of the logically con
vincin4 fact that ''spicy breezes blow soft
DER Ceylon's isle" How pitied said
beathen. How I wondered if / should
oversee one And looking at tins lnteiii-
gent and cultured gentleman, l SAID 70
myself: One thing is sure. The very lg-
norant in India, like their fellows IN aA
lands. may believe all those absurd my
fbolooies and tales, but nobody need tell
- tbet this man. with head Ikea Greek
m and D form like an athlete, takes any
stock in silva and Ramsuta and India and
Camdeo and Gemesa and all that snaky
business of manifold and contorted arms
and legs in the building yonder
Thus thinking I walked over to the
India house and found that dazzlingarray
Of wood carving and lacquered work so
often described and the usual gods in their
usuaI plaee, and noted that the intelligent
brown gentlemen in charge took as good
re Of tho gods as of their other property
more And then thought for the
ldth tim" - now should IKE 10
intelligent and cultured heathen
ne exactly what he thinks Of the geds
OF his people But that is somethingt
hail never know, for it is n feeling which
the man of one race can never explain to
the man Of another. Let it not be forg6t<
ten. however, Tint the true Hindoos aIepf
the same general race as Ourselves.

social Organization last week was and this
