GAUDY FUNERALS IN BURMAH
With Ballet and Band the Rich Bur
mese Are Paraded to Their
Tombs.

They have gorgeous funerals in
Rangoon, the capital of Burmah, India.
When rich Buman is buried, for In
stance. the funeral procession might be
compared to the street parade OF some
circus. First comes a kind of ballet
of Burmese In bright colored silks,
dancing the widest kinds of contor-
tions, anything but graceful. Next
there is the hearse, drawn by several
black horses. Oddly enough, in some
cases II will be huge black English
hearse with attendants In black and
white girdles, instead OF the usual
gaudy Burmese hearse, with It's mod
els Of dancers and race horses. Fol-
lowing this brass band will blare out
some lively tune, to which the ballet
can dance, the whole being about as
appropriate to the solemnities of such
an occasion as would be dirge to en-
liven bridge-whist party.
Stringing along after the band will
be a mile, more or less, Of ox-carts
with quaint tops OF colored mating,
each crowded with gay mourners"
who are provided with no end Of re-
freshments. A big Burman in brilliant
pink silk and carrying large fan us
ually plays the part of master of cere-
monies, his chief duty being to see
that all are happy. AS companion he
will have a muscular chap bearing a
huge case Of bottles containing drinks
for the whole party. Luckily, since
dead men tell no tales. it is also true
that they find no fault; and so these
grotesque funerals are never inter
rupted by the box occupants in whose
honor the spectacles are arranged.
