44 A COLLECTING TRIP 
The women as a rule wear a bit more, but they are 
very scantily clothed to our eyes. This morning I met 
a woman who had such an enormous nose ring that it 
covered up one of her nostrils and her entire mouth. 
(Nearly all wear nose rings.) Then her toes were 
solidly covered with silver and she had huge silver 
anklets around each ankle, and both her arms up to 
her elbows were covered with bracelets. I am anxious 
to get some of these real native silver ornaments, but 
I guess I probably cannot. The native quarters are 
very interesting to go through. But there — you will 
see them much better in the postal cards I sent you 
than from any deseription I can give you. Be sure 
and keep all the cards, by the way, and I can give you 
the full details when I get back. We have seen every- 
tning that these cards represent. I am having a pon- 
gee suit made, exactly like the one Edelstein made 
for me, material, make and all, $19.40. Am going 
shopping tomorrow. Much love to every one. 
Most affectionately, 
Rosamond.

day came. We left Bombay at 9.30 in the evening of 
Sunday ; the next morning we were well out into the 
wild country. We saw hundreds of gray apes from 
the ear window and took some pictures. I hope they 
will come out well. Wild peacocks were very common,
