 In describing a reception given by an Indian queen she told many inter- esting and picturesque incidents The invitation. the size of which is gov erned entirely by the recipients sal- lary, is brought with great pomp and ceremony. The palace was a wonder of beauty, the mirrored walls, panelled with jewels, reflected back the myriads of light The windows were hung with haud-woven tapestries and in the music rooms were pianos and harps. The scent of jasmine and roses per vaded the air.

 gra acious anf lovely. Mrs. Elnore in
 talking with some of the native wo-
 men in the garden observed the change
 in dress and mind of the younger generation. They are beginning to desire to be more like their western sisters.
 They sem in many ways to be most highly civilized. They arc cultivated and refined and have high sense Of honor. They are, however, hopeless ly inaccurate. Their books on history, geography and physiology are a mass Their mode of life also has develop ed no sense of deiicacy as the west ern mind conceives it. Mrs. Elmore spoke of the terrible condition of child marriage and the necessity for every woman in the world to help these Indian women. We should know how all the world lives and endeavor to ameliorate the suffer;ngs and nisunderstandings of less enlightened peoples. We are brothers and sisters of one blood. The Indian people are intensely re- ligious. Their lives are governed all most entirely by religion They have an interrninable number of rules by which to govern their daily life. But their religion is not that of Jesus Christ
