In the bedrooms there is no dressing-table or washstand, but there may be a bed--a wooden frame- work" with strings or tapes drawn across; and there will usually be a few .sleeping mats that are laid on the into a corner by day. "Going to bed" in India is not quite the same thing as it is with us, The men lie down anywhere, inside the house or out ac- cording to the weather, and no place seems too hard for them, They sleep covered from head to foot with a sheet selves from snakes, scorpions, centi- pedes and mosquitoes. One may. perhaps, see a basket hung from the roof.-This is the baby's cradle, and it is hung in this fashion 80 as to be out of the way of snakes. Also, the baby himself rocks it when he kicks or rolls about! The thing that is always found is the corn-bin, where grain is stored. This may be 'a huge earthen erection, like a vast pitcher, filling.up one end of "the room, or it may be two or three . tall baskets, shaped like barrels and bottom - of the bin is a small--hole, large enough to take 4 man's arm, through which the day's supply is removed. ; There are, as a rule, no tables, chairs, table-knives and forks, spoons, plates. or dishes. . People sit, eat and talk on the floor. = The kitchen is probably in the courtyard, surrounded by a screefiof mats or by a low wall. There are no coal fires, and wood, which is scrace and dear, is seldom dung which has been" mixed with chopped straw, patted into small cakes and stuck by the women to dry on a dung, made wet with water, is also used in scrubbing or plastering the During thé wet season, cooking may have to be. done indoors on a fireplace of a few mud bricks. As the houses have neither chimneys nor windows, the smoke lingers in the room till it finds an outlet at the door. Meals are as simple as the furniture and do not change much from day to day. The chief food is always some kind of grain, Those who can afford it use wheat, but the poorest classes corn), barley and millet--a grain somethipg like bird-seed. In Bengal, .on the Malabar Coast, and in other wet places where much rice is grown, rice may be the chief grain. The people also eat fish. wherever there are fish to be caught in sea or river. A common dish is the chupatty; this is made of grain ground by hand between two round heavy stones. The grain is damped, rolled out flat like a pancake, and baked quickly over a small charcoal fire. : Because dishes made of grain are . rather tasteless, especially when they 'anre eaten day after day, different 3 A curry is a kind of stew made of cut-up vegetables, red pepper, coconut, pickles, and many other things. Almost anything can be put into the curry, especially if, like ginger, garlic, and onions, it is hot and, spicy. 'What is not eaten at the meal is usually thrown away: only fresh curry is good curry. As Hindus rarely eat meat, there are no joints to be either roasted, baked or boiled. Cooking is a very important busi- ness. The woman, always a member of the family, who acts as cook, first 'bathes and drapes herself in a. clean garment and then goes into the "kitchen alone.. The people who cut up the vegetables and grind the grain stay outside. } When meal-time comes the men eat alone, sitting. cross-legged in some shady part of the courtyard. Mother up quickly, as soon as father enters, to attend to his wants. In front of him she places big leaves on which she piles his food; by his gide are little brass drinking bowls filled with ~water. If the meal is of rice the eater heaps up a little pile, pushes his fist in to it to make a hole, fills the hole with curry, and uses his fing- ! instead of spoons or forks.

Anyone drinking from a vessel does not put it to his lips, but holds .it a little way from them and pours the liquid into his mouth. This, teo, is not messy, because the water is never spilled on the food or clothes. After the men have finshed their meal the women and children sit down and eat what is left, though children may eat with either of their parents when they are very young. The leaves that have been used as plates are thrown away, and there is no "wash- ing-up" except of the vessels used in cooking and drinking. At the present time, however, tin and white enamel plates are coming into use. Dress is, not the same everywhere, and it would take too long to tell of all the different kinds and. colours; but it may be said that the commonest form of dress for men consists of a loin cloth, a coat and a turban, The loin clath is so worn that it looks like a pair of shorts, The coat is now much like ours, with buttons and pockets all complete, - The turban is, of course, worn to protect the head, though the people of Bengal seem to prefer an umbrella, in For' Hindu women: the commonest garment is the sari, a wide strip of material about eight yards long.- It is passed several times round the waist, and the loose end is carried round over the head to form a hood. It, has no buttons, hooks and eyes, or safety pins, but it may have beautiful Much jewellery is worn by the women; bangles, necklaces, anklets, ear-rings, nose-rings and other orna- ments are common, and are often of gold . or silver - and studded with precious stones. This is one way of saving money. Instead of putting it in a bank, even if there be a hank (and that is not often), the peasant buys ornaments for his women-folk. If there is anything over, he probably buries it in the ground and hides it. Sometimes he hides it 'so well that no one knows where he has put it, and if he dies without telling, it is lost.
