always a physician himself; it is un- just but true. A man cannot rise above the fell hand of circumstance man whose father Is a physician Is in India, when it comes to birth. He is what he is born and can ever hope to overcome it."
 My husband was court interpreter and came to Washington with the East Indian Legation" Madame Bharingha told me. "He is beauti- fully educated, his father being of royal blood He was educated at the University of Calcutta and later in England and specialized in the lan- guages. He is marvellous linguist, speaking 14 different languages flu ently. He despises slang = looks upon it as quite vulgar and ill-bred. That is characteristic, how ever, of the native East Indian, cold, silent, calm--they look upon Amer ican enthusiasm as distinctly bad form. Dignity, elegance, self-repose, characterize the high class East In dian who always observes the ameni- ties of life and never oyersteps the bounds.
 Their religion is the foundation of all their being.' Madame Bharingha continued. ITO the great god Buddha they pray-Buddhist and Brhamin- with the vedic code as their guide; superstitious to the point of idiocy almost. And it becomes infectious For instance, I wear the talisman of my husbands family which is sup posed to bring me the best of luck. It is, as you see, a dainty little pen dant of imperial jade set with blood red stones on a dull metal back ground; the little chain which holds the tiny little round ball holds the dust of one of the greatest 'oracles' India has ever known; his dust IS supposed to be the good omen or talisman gift to humanity'-of the house of Bharingha. My 'CrystaI too is historic--and wonderfully interest ing; it came from the Temple or Ramasit, where the world famous Hope diamond came from-with all of it's i'll luck and tragic influence which has governed the various own CTS of it. My Crystal is beautiful thing-luminous with light, and ra- diant with the fire of psychic Vls- ion"
 "The East Indian women?' Madame Bharingha looked at me curiously out of her lovely gray brown eyes for she has the most winsome smile and the most fascinating manner, as she laughingly answered: "A woman is supposed in India to be an entirely negligible quantity; they still are yelled in public; they are not supposed to have any voice in any question:; but they are supposed to look beautiful and behave fasci- natingly."
 "The voter" she echoed fin India? Never. why women can't call their souls their own there-and never

, would they be allowed to have a voice in any public affairs. Never!
 "Oh yes. I've often heard and seen Rabindranath Tagore their idol" Madame Bharingha said in answer 10 my inquiry. He wears the long lures, and the long coat and always his turban-just as my husband does. The 'Sahibs' answering to our American title of Mr., always wear the long Imposing looking coats and their turbans.. Tagore is adored and worshipped in India; he is an idol as 1 said before. His books are read and beloved-his poetic fantasy and lilt- ing lore are typically East Indian and beautiful.
 "Music-oh, yes,-the Hindoos are very musical and the popular instru- ment they use is something like our guitar-very soft and sensuous and alluring," Madame Bharingha said Tn Shrinagar I was greatly i'm pressed with the fact that so many titled English women marry Hindus. Happy-the marriages? No-not as ft general rule; it is hard as kipling says for East and West to meet and the totally different atmosphere
 in which we of the western empire are brought up, makes the discrep- ency so great that with the mysticism of the east it is difficult to assimilate it.
 The East Indians adore color; riots of gorgeous colors are employed in their dress, their home decoration their theatres and their place of amusement; they love color; they love mysticism and they live on supersti- tion.
 The magic of the east is never followed as a profession by the bet ter classes" Madame Bharingha said. They believe in it and enjoy ex- hibitions of it, but they do not prac- tice 1t as a profession. That is left to others.
 .Is English spoken in India-do you ask me? Yes, quite a bit; my father-in-law, for instance, speaks English very well; of course my hus- band being an accomplished linguist, speaks it fluently. studied Sanscrit which is extremely difficult--but wonderfully interesting-fr the time I went to Shrinagar until I re- turned. In fact-I enjoyed every branch of learning which was open to me--the languages, art, music, lit erature, religion. and while 1 am only an amateur in the things I am in- terested in-pa almistry, magic, mind reading, astrology-it has been a genuine pleasure for me to live for two years in the birth place of these arts where,

Knocked down in eight years Of boxing,
had been dropped in fifty seconds by n
man sixty-two pounds lighter. Even
then few figured that this one blow was
any winning factor. Willard would
surel get to his feet, clincb. stall and
survive the round for another start,
savage at the affront offered his vast
person. Willard did get to his feet.
But also. before he could get set, another
numbering welt caught him on the Jaw
and down he crashed for the second
time. And, at this point, the answer
was plainly written that another cham
pion had come to his doom, sooner than
any champion in ring history had ever
stumbled into defeat.
Seven times in the course Of that one
round the challenger knocked the cham
pion sprawling. Willard never had any
chance to put his attack into motion.
That first punch left him dazed. be-
wildered. befuddled, with the bewildered
sml of one who is a bit comical in the
