The office babu, like the Japanese and unlike the Chinese, who is usually better than he seems, wears his virtues on the outside. This arrangement is the more pleasant because the virtues generally suffice to keep the facts in the background.

The Hindu religion, which prohibits most mest foods, is not an incentive to luxury, of course, but babun getting £75 to £50 a year, without the above-mentioned extras, live in the slums, or in village, huts milles out of the city, in quarters that would disgust a savvy. The resultant savings go to swarms of indigent or lazy relatives, and to provide for the dowries and marriage exponics of daughters and sons. But the taste for liv ing in European style is growing.

No article on the babu would be complete without a reference to "babu English." It has to be regretfully recorded that it is dying out, and is now almost confined to the begging letter, the petition (a much-favoured form of Bengali literature), and the quack-medicine testimonial. You may still ċing across such remarks an "This is to crtly Mr. Jopwaladult Debidut he got pugutiva' pills, very good; 1 recommend to take any one; I used many times that pills."

That bas aor died out. Len is heard of it because the Bengali is too polite to laugh.
