Queer Ways In Anam.

Nine. Gabrielle NJ. Vassal, the
wife of French doctor who was at
tached to the Pasteur institute OF
Nhatrang, little village on the
coast of Anam, relates some of heI
experiences. When she and her hus-
band arrived at Nhatrang they were
received by the native servants, who
salaamed and squatted on the floor
for long period, this being their
method Of greeting Europeans,
Servants had the curious habit OF
washing all dishes under the table,
never on its top. Men and women
dressed alike, wearing trousers and
tunics, and women on the way to
market with their baskets always
walked in single file.
