Many eastern rulers hare been at college In the Occident and when they return to their home, modern Innovations return with them to replace the primitive thirds and customs of centuries. Perhaps the one thing that impresses the observer when he enters an Eastern palace is the quaint mixture of luxury and squalor that often pre vails. A writer says: I have been In palace where the rooms were filled with priceless furniture and magnificent Persian carpet that would have fethced a fortune, but the windows were broken and mated with dirt, hole sppeared In the walls and celling. and the cheap and gaudy prints might possibly have fetched half a crown at auction." I remember being entertained by the chief of a State along the northen frontier of India, who claims descent from Alexander the Great and rules aver a people whose customs have scarcely changed ln the past two thou sand years. The walls of the reception-room wers hung with portraits of k!rs and princes, some of which were upside down The average day of the Eastern chief opens early in the morning. Just titer sunrise, when.
