I had been to a plcnio luncheon with soruo friends in a glade near the lovely valley of Kujiar. We walked back, having our dandia (light palanquin) dusk car¬ ried behind us; and when began to fall we put the dogs which had accom¬ panied us into the dandia, knowing it was no longer safe for them to run by our side. At length one lady became tired and called for her dandi. It was brought and set down for her to enter. As it touched the ground tho little dog jumped out to welcome his mistress; but in a moment his pretty gambols were out short.
