NDIA, the land of adventure, of princely wealth and
abject poverty, is inhabited by many different tribes,
now rapidly becoming civilized under British rule.
The women are tall and slender; gentle, timid, loving
creatures, painfully desirous of education, which was
deried them until mission schools had been established.
Hindoo girls are often betrothed during infancy and
are married at the age of twelve.
They have dark skins and regular features, a bright,
intelligent expression, and fine, straight, black hair.
Their usual dress consists of loose, gauze trousers,
with a short frock of some bright-colored silk or muslin
girded by a wide sash. Ears, neck, hands and feet are
loaded with ornaments, sometimes of great value.
The chief office of The Singer Manufacturing Co. in
India is in Bombay, having more than fifty subordinate
offices scattered all over the Empire. The same liberal
system of selling is maintained here as elsewhere, and the
increasing use of the sewing-machine in a country whose
inhabitants are so intensely conservative, is one of the
strongest indications of the silent change caused in the
habits of the people through western intercourse.
