The above sketch represents a corner of the market; in the centre a Kachin fairly characteristic but too tall, beside him his sturdy Kilted wife, with the usual basket on her back; other figures, a Burmese girl, a Chinese woman, Sikhs, and distant Shan woman.

So in other Scottish billets the first of the New Year was kept, and to-night there is sword-dancing by Kilted men as nimble as Nijinski, in their stockinged feet, and old songs of Scotland which are blown down the wind of France, in this strange nightmare of a war where men from all the Empire are crowded along the fighting-lines waiting for the bloody battles that will come, as sure as fate, while the New Year is still young.
