Ornaments In India.

In India for the mass of the peo-
pie the purchase Of ornaments is al
most the one form of indulgence
to which man who has made a
little money treats himself. Ordi-
narily the man who has saved few
rupees does not change the nature
Of his food or the style of his cloth
ing, nor does he invest in articles OF
furniture. What he does, if he is
Of a cautious and saving nature, is
to put his rupees in a hiding place,
but if he is inclined for show he
INDUCES his fancy by putting gold
or silver ornaments on the persons
of his wife and children. These
ornaments are the very last things
to be parted with on a reverse OF
fortune, and even in the lowest So
cial depths they are not put on the
market until the last piece of coined
money has vanished and no house
hold utensils Of brass or copper are
left with which to obtain q coin.
