KANGOON.

[Continued from page 3.]

The Burmese women wear wreaths of jasmi. se in their hair and fragrant frangipani stuck behind their ears. They laugh, and smoke their huge cigars, Airt gay scarfs, and wink with wicked oyes on all the world. They dress in little coast of sea-pod green and pink of rosa geranium, in cherry-ted and cow- ulips opening in the spring. They look like garden posies beside the sooty jewel-laden Tamil women, who, wear scant draperies and bear great jars of brass upon their heads. Other man and women are in this crowd, vendors of sweats and fruits with rou d red trays of lacquer

balanced on their heads. And many others:***

All this time the sun still sticks above the fevel of the roofs-a sick distorted thing show- ing blood-red and swollen through the rising dust, Ir turns the trees a varnished brilliant green, the red park roads to copper, the purple hedges of bougainvillas an artificial staring pink, and the faces of the little lakes to rippling

Yet it is passing-and tired creatures sitting Himply on a bench, clasp their knees and praise its going. Others again throw themselves upon -the hat stiff grass and venture to uncover,

Carringes, gharries, the bleached white life of **Rangoon-town draws silently to this one green 'spot, Watches the colour marvels sprending in the sky, and sees their faithful copies in the Jittle iipturaed mirrors of the lakes, and wonder Upon wonder nistes near at hand that sacred Tooming shape of gold, that gleams in the deep ly flushing sky like the gold in the heart of a perfect fall-blown latus.

The gloaming draws about it and lesser pinacies of gold shoot sudden nls flames. Again the dusky ravens rise and fall like flakes of soot against the gold and rose-and from *the sacred grave comes the heavenly, halting

tinkle of a little bell.

And then--and then-two mammoth plaster- bodies, paint-streaked dragan dogs with lash golden tails and slaring eyeballs call a sudden hak. Between them leads a path of sloping steps worn in smoothness by the passage of naked feet climbing through the cen

Wide temples rise at every turn carved deep in gold-red lacquer, and Buddhas in long rows itsmiling on their thrones. Shining balls of glass and tinsel hang from the law-browed eaves. Bowls of rice and sweets, bronze jars of incense, boxes packed with tiny leaves of gold, and fading wreathes of me are heaped | Fri, upon their altars. Priests kneel and bend and pray in noisy monotone.. The murmurs from the countless shrines rise and fall in gontlo nudulations. Prayers break and drip from ups, beads slip through faithful fingers, and ever present are the echoing prayers of count- less generations gone before.

The great trees lifting through the pave ment have spread for ages shade upon this golden company, have softly stirred above the tiny temples, the peaked pagodas, and the tinkling bell-tipped towars. Through the slit Alm leaves the sunset swims in final glory. **Far below the circling wall lies Rangoon dim and hary, with gray mist-covered field between. Gold dust quivers thickly in the sunset in the air.
