Bombay Like Dream of Strange

&C. W. Stevens, in the London Mail)
The first sight of India is amazing, en-
trancing. stupefying. OF other countries
you become aware gradually; Italy leads up
to the Levant and Egypt passes you on in
possibly to the desert. Landed in Bombay
you have strayed into most elaborate
dream, infinite in variety, blurred with
complexity. gallery of strange faces. a
buzz OF strange voices, rainbow of strange
coiors, garden of strange growths a book
OF strange questions, pantheon Of strange
gods. Different beasts and birds in the
street. different clothes to wear, different
mealtimes. and different food-the very
commonest things are altered. You begin a
new life in new world.
1t takes time to come to yourself. At
first everything is so noticeable that YOU
notice nothing. When things begin to come
sorted and sifted, Bombay reveals itself
as city OF monstrous contrasts.
Along the sea front one splendid public
building follows another-variegated stone
facades, with arch and colonnade. cupola.
and pinnacle and statuary. At their feet
huddle fimsy huts of mating, thatched
with leaves, which a days rain would re-
duce to mud and pulp. You sit in mar
e-paved club. vast and airy as a Roman
villa, and look out over gardens OF heavy
scarlet and purple flowers toward choking
families together in open-fronted rooms,
and filth runs down gullies to tester. in
the sunken street. In this quarter you
may see the weaver twirling his green
and amber wool on a hand loom-a skele-
ton so simple and fragile that a kick would
make sticks Of It; go to the street ,eorner
and you see black smoke belch from a
hundred roaring mills, whose competition
cuts the throat Of all the world. In the
