LIFE November 22, 1929 ESTHER GOUlD"S TRAVEL CORNER. ON TO INDIA Leaving Egypt to h er reverie s, her m vs te rie s and her ghosts, our ship will pass by Port Said, that city which still, we believe, in spi te of Chicago, holds its proud title of the wickedest city in the world, through the Suez Canal built at so much labor and such ~x travagant cost, through the "Bitter Lakes, " then more of the canal, down through the Red sea which Moses divided with his staff, and dropping down farther, farther to the so uth , co·11e at last to Bombay. As in ev ery country there are man~· countries, so it is Uf!USually true of India. There is a Chtcago of the boot · leggers and politicians, of the stor~ y~rds and of the Colored Zone, but 1f visitors coming here saw those a'1d nothing else we would think them ven· poor and unimaginative travelers .

They have gone in the opposi!e dire~ tion from us, one of whose tdeal s 1" sanitation and perfect housing. A phi: lanthropist \\'ith us is great man; in I India he is a man seeking deliveranct> , · bv the least worthy and easiest of th e 1 . r~utes, the harm of whose work is br1 lieved to he compensated for by t!w good done himself. Let us look for the India so symp:lt hetically d.e scribed by Dhan M ukerF I in his books, the India of the beautiful ! "Song- Celestial," of the Upanishad~ in : which the pupil of Death says what ·\11 1 Tndia believes: "I know that what thn· call trea sure is unenduring, and br unla stin g things what is lasting cannot he obtained . . . When all de sires tha t j dwell in his heart are let go, the mor!al , hecomes immortal, and reaches the Eternal."
