Quaint Scenes in Srinagar.

Seven curious bridges span the
river, and along the shore quaint old
wooden houses lean sometimes at a
rakish angle. Many of the city
streets end in wide stone steps lead
ing down to the rivers edge. These
stairways are usually animated
scenes of native life. Here the laun-
dry men wash the clothes; here
the women come to fill their wa
ter jars. Children tumble and play
about, and goats and cows ramble
freely among them all. From the
overhanging balconies lengths of
dyed pashmina hang out to dry. All
is colorful and gay.
Also there is the interesting river
life. A large part Of the popula-
ton of Srinagar lives afloat. Odd,
long-pointed boats, called dungas,
with superstructures hung with
mats of woven reeds, are the only
homes which thousands of Kashmiris
ever know. Sleeping quarters with
in. a kitchen of sorts open to the
eyes of all, few pots of brass or
copper, and a poor Kashmiri's house
hold is complete.
The native Of more ample means
has a better boat. Walls of wood
replace the woven mass, and as bet
ter and better financial status is in
dicated, so the boats improve. The
best are comfortable and well-fur-
nished house pOats, such as one
might see upon the River Thames.
The English nave made their
contributions in the development of
the house boat in Srinagar; for the
Vale Of Kashmir has become not
only a favorite vacation land for
the English army in India, but the
permanent home Of many retired
officers and their families.
