everyone who FlSltS Burma IS
 fascinated by it and longs to
 return, for though to some ex- tent it has been invaded by Occidental civilization, in the main it is yet un- spoiled. Then, too, one of it's charms IS the mingling of modern hustle and Oriental calm. Such cities as Manda- lay and Rangoon are full of these in congruous contrasts, writes Helen Barrett Montgomery in the Mission. ary Review of the World impres. sions of golden pagodas, yellowrrobed ascetics, fiowerga garlanded shrines, silk-skirted men, mingle with the re. membrance of broad, paved streets, street cars. business blocks, newspa- pers, e1ubhouses, parks, department stores and railway stations.
 The mingling of races makes Bur ma a 'melting-pot" in miniature. Ran goon has it's Chinese quarters, it's Tamil and Telugu streets, it's motley throng of Europeans from many lands added to it's native Burmese, Karen, Talian, Shan and other races. In fact. more than half of the population of Rangoon are foreign born. The com ing of these diverse races to trade and to live is producing profound changes in Burmese life.
 The Burman is the aristoerat of the land. It is his country. his language.

Women go and come freely in the street, as they do with us They are not married so young. They engage in business, have prop erty rights. and seem altogether the favored women among Orientals. They have achieved picturesque and comfortable costume, too, so similar to that of men that at first glance there is little difference Both sexes ] wear the straight, narrow skirts of gay-colored silk to be sure, but the mans skirt, brought snugly around the hips, has its fullness so tucked in at the waist as to cascade in lordly ripple down the front. It is an anus
 
 ing sight to see a youngster of six trying to wear his tiny skirt so that it projects in front at the very angle affected by his dandified young uncle. The woman's skirt, equally narrow and equally bright, is tucked firmly about the waist with the fullness fold ed over so as to lie in a flat plait tt the left side.
 Below these gay skirts twinkle bare feet. the skin about the color of warm old ivory. Above them the body is covered by a short jacket of white cot ton The woman adds thin floating scarf and a posy in her hair. A crowd of Burmese men and women i5 quite the brightest and most engaging color feast of the Orient.

Why aren't we in society like those people across the street?" grumbled the citizen who was spend ing an afternoon at home. That mans salary is no larger than mine. '
