Bellefonte, Pa., Septembhr 5, 1913. FROM INDIA. By One on Medical Duty in that Far Eastern Country. No Let Up in the Heat. Nurses Needed. A Native Tea Party. Fine Clothes : and Jewelry in Profusion, While a Phonograph Furnishes the Entertainment. Dear Home Folk: JuaNsi, AucusT 23rd. Another torrid day well spentin trying to help sick folks is now coming to an end. It is nine-thirty and I have just come in from making a visit in the city to a young woman who is having a bad time trying to breathe, and having fixed her up for the night so she could be a little comfortable, I want to chat a short time with you. It is beautiful here tonight and I wish the mosquitos would stop buzzing long enough for me to really enjoy it, but you see those lovely little pests rather spoil the beautiful black and white effect of the moon and che trees, by suggesting temperature and hot, stuffy head feelings of malaria. It does seem strange out here; people are so kind and nice to me that I can scarcely help but wonder what “axe they have to grind,” and when I find they are really sincere | am rather embarrassed and feel like drawing into my shell, for I truly can’t see what they find in me to like. You will wonder what this means. Only another lot of invitations from the very nicest women of this place, for din- ners and teas and it is bad when you feel absolutely incompetent to return even a small part of their goodness. The girls are coming back from their vacations and so very soon we will be a large family jogging along in a regular rut as before we all separated for the summer. Tonight, after getting through with my own work. I went out to call upon a sick English woman, who has been very kind to me, and also to call upon a sick man, Captain Anscough, whom I have met several times. His Colonel's wife chaperoned me in the call and since he is to be married shortly I felt very safe from criticism. He had sent word ask- ing whether I would not come and cheer him up a bit. These people have a bad time here— not a single nurse in this big station and they must just lie down on their beds and let the native servants wait upon them, and you can imagine how pleasant that would be. Truly it is horrible, especi- ally in poor Mrs. MacKenzie's case. She is ready to go back to England, and in fact sails next week, yet here she is— , alone, very ill, and no one to nurse her. I feel so sorry and would be glad to go and do what I could for her, but your, own business takes all your best time and only a little is left. I can’t under: stand why the English government don't | keep good, trained nurses near their big military stations, but I am told there is | not a nurse in India supported by that! government, even with all the troops they have here. I went to a native ladies tea party the other afternoon, and after having tea, quite English fashion, I was shown all | her beauties. These consisted of very | beautiful materials edged with gold gal- | loon or tinsel (truly silver and gold) such | as we see on our Christmas trees, and the combinations were fascinating. Then she showed me what Mohammed women call pajamas; the wide ones are made of | heavy purple satin (nine yards in a pair) trimmed with the heaviest kind of gold braid. The tight kind were nearly all | made of brilliant satin—cerise, pink and yellow, with three-leafed clover in gold on them. Around the ankles of these are worn a four-inch cuff, heavily em- broidered in gold. The little shirt, com- ing to the tip of the hip, was made of pale pink silk embroidered all over in roses and trimmed about the bottom, sleeves and neck with three-inch silver | braid; or maybe it was of light blue stuff like chiffon, and over this gorgeousness was thrown the “chuda” or long scarf- like affair that is used to cover the head. | , 1C0 By far the most gorgeous of all was the| = dress, made of the most beautiful ma- terial and although mostly of gauzy stuff, was always run with gold thread and edged with gold embroidery, heavily overlaid with pearl beads until when thrown over the head it drops heavily on either side as though weighted.
