AN INDIAN SWELL.
The Gaudy Costume of tho Ebony" Gentle
man OF India.

The Gaudy Costume of tho "Tony" Gentle
man OF India.
No better spot could be found than
Oudeypore in which to observe the
ways of high-caste native life. ASH
remember the resplendent personages
who came to make brief visits of cere-
mony or to pay their respects to some
passing notability of official or diple-
matte rank, the glittering bravery Of
their attire, and the elaborate trim
mings of their horses, the inimitable
twist of their blue-black boards, and
the deferential grace of their ''sa-
laams," carefully graded to the correct
degree, the melancholy truth is born
in upon me that the dude" of western
descent is, after all, but crude and
unfinished production. When arrayed
in his court dress, and mounted on his
horse caparisoned with corresponding
splendor, the Rajpoot noble is decora-
tive to dazzling degree. One toilet
which had the opportunity of study
ing in detail might be termed sym
phony" in white, relieved by color spar
ingly used, and by the sparkle of gems.
! The wearer of this costume, who APP
peared thus attired on state occasions
only, was a young man of twenty, and
sat his horse like white statue. A
long-skirted tunic or frock of white
muslin, closc-ftting white trousers, and
n rose-colored turban with broad band
of gold lace and tall flashing plume of
dark heron feathers and gold fligree
were the salient points. Other access
series were the sword-bclt, crossing his
breast and encircling his waist, of dark
green velvet richly worked with I'M
alloyed gold, and thiclSly studded with
cmeralds, rubies, and brilliants;
transparent yellow shield of rhinoceros
hide, with knobs of black and gold
enamel; sash of stiff gold lace, with
a crimson thread running through the
gold; bracelets of the dainty workman
ship known as Jeypore enamel thickly
| jewelcd, which he wore on his wrists
and arms; and there were strings of
dull, uncut stones about his neck.
The skirts of his tunic were plated
with many folds, and stood stifly out,
like the skirts of "a premiere danseuse"
in the ballet; and when he mounted
his horse servant on each side held
them so that they might not be crushed.
Four Wallets had charge of this cos
tune, and it took them some little
time to array their master. The trap
pings of the horse were scarcely less
elaborate; his neck was covered on one
side with silver plates, and his name,
which hung on the other side, was
braided, and heightened by black
fringes relieved by silver ornaments.
White yalxs' tails hung from beneath
the embroidered saddle cover on both
sides; and his head, encased in head
stall of white enameled leather and
silver, topped with tall aigrettcs, was
tied down by an embroidered scarf in
order to give his neck the requisite
curve.
The everyday dress of this gentle
man was far more quiet in tone; but
he seldom appeared twice in the same
turban, which was of quite different
shape from that worn with the state
costume, being small and closely folded,
and it constantly varied in color

the maui swinging bit. lie didn't
like this, and backed off few feet.
The maui swung some more, and he
drew off still further; and as soon as 1t
was quite still again, he sidled around
it at prudent distance and investi-
gated it from the other side Of the tree.
"'The blame fool Is scared of it,
whispered Bill, scornfully; let's fling a
rock at him!'
Ono said l, knowing bears pretty
well; let's wait and see what he's going
to do
"Well, when the maui had been
pretty still for q minute or two, the
bear appeared to make up his mind 1t
didn't amount to much after all; he
came right close up to it, rs bold as You
like, and paved it kind of inquiringly.
The maui swung away, and, being
hung short, it came back quick and
took the bear a smart rap on the nose.
'Bill and | both snicbered, but the
bear didn't hear us. He was mad right
off, and, with snort, he hit the maui
pretty good cuff; back it came like
CREASED lightning, and took him again
square on the snout with whack that
must have made him just sec stars.
bill and l could hardly hold our
selves; but even if we had laughed
right out / don't believe that bear
would have noticed us, he was so mad.
You know bears snout is mighty
tender. Well, he grunted and snorted
and rooted around in the leaves bit,
and then went back at the maui as II
he was just going to knock 1t into tho
other side Of tomorrow. He stood up
to it, and he did hit it so hard that 1t
seemed to disappear for half a second!
1t swung right over the limb, and,
while he was looking for 1t, 1t came
down on the top of his head Great
Scott! how he roared! And then,
scratching his head with one paw, he
went at it again with the other, and hit
It just the same way he'd hit 1t before.
tell you, Bill and pretty near burst
as we saw that maui fly over the limb
again and come down on the top of his
| head just like the first time. You'd
have thought 1t would have cracked his
skull; but bears head is as hard as
they make them.
''This time the bear, after rubbing
his head and his snout, and roofing
some more in the leaves, sat back and
seemed to consider. In q second or two
he went up to the maui and tried to
take hold of it with one paw; of course
it slipped right away, and you'd have
thought it was alive TO see the sharp
way it lodged back and caught him
again on the nose. 1t wasn't much Of
a whack this time, but that nose was
tender enough, then And the bear
got desperate. He grabbed for the
maui with both paws; and that way, Of
course, he got it. With one pull he
snapped the codline and the victory
was his. Charles G. D. Roberts, in st.
| Nicholas.
