Miss Bothwell Writes of India Sound and Color and Confusion, Beauty and Misery and Romance, That Is India—Traveler Sees Taj Mahal, Shrine of the Beauty Loving World. (Miss .lean Both well, formerly of Omaha, left laat November for India to serve In the seerelarlal branch of Oie Methodist Mission service. I'nder ■inte of .lime 20 she writes hark vivid ly of her impression* In the new land.) "It Is a hit hard to realize, here In the penee and heauty of the Illtna laya hills and June time, that six whole months have gone by since landing, especially when I look liaok uisin all the sight* and sound* which have been tny portion In that length of time. "To me, India 1* sound, and yet they assure me that I haven't heard all of which It Is capable! On a lie (.ember morning, 1 stood on Malabar hill In Bombay and looked across the oily to ttie beautiful harbor. There cams up to me a murmur, shrill, clamorous, rising and falling yet never ceasing, the sound of a great city going nbout Its dally round Such a human wall, It was, not like the mechanical sounds of the west, where motor trucks, and trolley gongs, end hells and whistles and not people eon tribute to the characteristic din. It has Iwen tny privilege to visit In sev ernl of the principal elites of this great land, teeming with life and In terest for a newly arrived traveler, and everywhere sound, penetrating, mingled, shrill, Insistent and omni present was one of my strongest Ini p re salons. "Homhiiy Is a beautiful city and" a vast project Is going on there, where by great stretches of land are being reclaimed from the son, made neces sary by the ever-increasing popula tion. Slaty thousand people In Bom bay never sleep twice In the same place; that la to eny, they have no home, eleeping where they find room on the sidewalks and In doorways. Yet even with this great population. Bombay Is not India. Just as Calcutta Is not, ta-o great port cities to which the flotsam and Jetsam of all the east ern nations drift, there to l>e taker Into the commercial stream and ab sorbed ns a part of the great money making schemes of the orient, and the Industries characteristic of a port city. On the streets of Calcutta 1 have seen .Japanese, Chinese, Burmese, English. American, and It Is safe to guess, representatives from nearly every province tn India, all going nhout their daily round apparently friendly enough. Immigration Is a great problem In port cities, because It ere ates a floating population, lrrespon slble and dully shifting. "To me.

But the Victoria memorial there Is like unto nothing but Itself, It Is a truly fitting tribute to the great queen, standing at the head of the w ide spi • adlng green or common which borders the main street (Chowrlngheel on the one side and the boulevard on the other and at the foot utmost two miles away, Is the Strand road which runs along Ihe Hooghll rivet, up which the boats come from the Bay of Bengal. The (Tarn to raao four Column | N Gabby Detayls Dear Old Groom Comes in for Prenuptial Attention —Modern Version of Rebecca at the Well— Secret Marriage of Omaha Heiress to Film Actor—Thievery of Maids Subject for Blood and Thunder Drama. FOR th* most part, except at the stag dinner, the dear old groom Is almost the least Interesting of th* bride s accessories. However, of fate there has been a movement on foot to make prenuptial alTairs a 50 50 proposition. In other words, to relieve the gentleman In the case of the feeling that he la merely the person that she is to marry. To this praiseworthy end a group of Francis Gaines' friends presented him with an attractive and perhaps useful betrothal gift. When he opened it he was literally overwhelmed with surprise on discovering that the donors, the Messrs, and Mesdames John IT. Loomis. Fred Daugherty and Casper OfTutt. had selected a doxen dish towels, with his monogram cleverly cross stitched on, to give the personal touch. -- IK you find correspondence fatigu ing go into the movies. Miss Cor rine Elliott has tried it. albeit In voluntarily and finds It saves much time and a deal of wear and tear on the writing arm. During our recent water famine which, by the way seems an almost profanely exaggerated term since the latest cataclysm holds the world en thralled, Miss Elliott was wont to make up the liquid deficit at Elmwood each morning The camera man caught her there, a modern version of Rebecca at the I well, with a tip tilted nose, and In sports clothes and Imprisoned her Im age in the flitter films, filling her Jug at th* bubbling fountain. Later she received a letter from Miss Florence Odenhaugh of Mans field. O., who you will remember was a guest of Miss Elliott In April. It began "So you have bobbed your hair" which the render thought odd. since she had kept the facts of her clipped locks from her out of-town friends, and later explained In a casual way. "Saw you in the 'Newa of the day' pictures In a Cleveland theater " Will you be going to Hollywood soon. Corrine?

In a1 New York department stoic, who lured women to buy w th helpful! suggestions aul tactful remarks. Can! It be that the gentleman who servos a similar post In one of our largest Stores has studied Mr Morlev s creation, or does genius conform In stinctively to finesse. It was after a customer had told him that she aim-1 ply could not wear a collarlesa dress. | He gave her a quick and thorough glance. "You are right, mademoi selle.'’ he said understandingly. "I are you have studied the matter. So few women do that, you know, and when it is a matter of such importance, one wonders at the oversight:" What flattery could be more wel come to feminine vanity? However, though one may put. or rather get one's price by such sub tleties. truth also has its place in merchandising, for the same young lady went into one of Omaha's smart furniture shops where her eye fell on a lovely red lacquey cabinet which hung gracefully upon the wall. The t ’p and bottom were shaped like the roof of a Japanese pagoda, a glass door was artistically latticed, and golden flowers wnd a daintily kimonaed maid found their place in the design. An interior decorator stepped forward. He enlarged on the antiquity of this object d'art. ''— and it is a very old piece," said he. "they don't make such things nowadays." The young lady was awed. She gently opened the cabinet door. "I w-onder why they have marked It." she ventured timidly. "Oh. those old Oriental artists al ways signed their work: it was the custom." "But I don't understand, this says, ‘Grand Rapids.'" -« THIEVING, always a subject for drama, has only just l>een touched. Plain thieving ha* been done to death, and husband thieving has but recently come in for Its share of theatrical attention, but a wide field has been left. Now Gabby's suggestion for a real blood and thunder drama would have for its heroine a competent maid servant. The second lead, her mistress, and for the heavy viil.iiness. a near neigh bor whose proximity gives her an adequate knowledge of the heroine * capabilities. Fbr material one would find an ir. exhauatible supply among Omaha matrons, for during” the past month a desperate one of thtflr number, whose identity is at la~‘ exposed, hss been phoning their maids and lurtng them away with bright promise of gold.
