Dining Car Service In India.

Dining car waiters on railroads in India are barefooted natives, tn long white gowns held in at the waist by a broad band, their heads wrapped up in puggrees (a light scarf). The dinner service is rough and coarse, and the price higher than in this country. Most of the food served comes in tins. Between courses dishes are piled on the floor. India is a land of contrasts, and this contrast between the dirty black feet and the dirty white dishes Is one of the things to which the traveler gets accustomed, but never reconciled.
