writes entertainingly of the color
of the Indian countryside:
"In the cities the snake charm

around and show them off for
whatever they can talk out of cu
rious observers, and if they can
get enough rupees they put on "a
fight between a cobra and a mon
goose, i
"Quite a few of the taxi driv
ers speak fair English and are good
about driving around to the points
of interest I still cannot'get used
to riding on the left ' side of the
street, especially when the taxis
crowd the right-of-way of every
thing else, but so far I have seen
no accidents."
Alfred speaks of the Indian
habit of balancing all manner of
objects on their heads without
touching- them with their hands.
Even," he says, "the beggar
youngsters walk with a posture
and balance that would be the
envy of many American girls."
