ceremony for the first time. We were
provided with a complete new suit of
Hindu garments, and our dressing
was superintended by the maharajas
servants. We had camels, elephants
and victorias provided for US. l was
on an elephant In a kind of box, and
we drove in procession to the palace
in the native city.
We were received with great acclaim
by the natives, and I was led to be-

nified occasion. But l was woefully
mistaken. The fun had not begun.
Certain formalities had to be gone
through before the signal was given.
We took our seats in the courtyard
of the palace at long table that was
loaded with large gilt dishes filed with
different colored balls as large as
oranges and filed with Holi powder.
At signal the brother of the mahara-
ia came to the front of the table and
salaamed to the prince. who took one
