At any moment, it seemed to me, the cloud -capped palaces might Peel, the plaster come away,.and the whole thing crumble like a Hollywood creation; yet the Raves of the doll's house shops were held up by elephants' (heads that belonged to times long before the Moguls, and the Stili whitewash, streaked by the monsoons, broke everywhere into kiosks or doors of lacework- ed arches, where women stood on steps, their bell -like skirts swinging above their anklets and two pitchers at a time upon 'their heads, All colour was lov- ely and all movement graceful, even to the pigeons' ballet round. the water -palace cupolas in the lake.. , , Every room in the palace must have its stay — rooms glass - /leered, or lined with Chinese tiles, or roof gardens with mar- ble fountains, or sudden rich pavilions; narrow staircases, and treasuries where clerks squat counting bank -notes as one pass- es, while elephants painted all over munch their hay in the courts below. In the town, old Bajput noblemen rode through the streets — white eyebrows and a yellow satin turban, and a white beard brushed from a parting to either side; or a wed- ding, where the bridesmaids wrapped in red and orange walked singing behind t h e groom. Ile, in a red coat strip- ed with tinsel and green satin turban, fourteen years old per- haps, rode with a small brother on his crupper and his bride (buried among females behind hitn in a cab, An old Muslim (fakir came after, in a rich gown seated in an open gharry, grey hair in waves aver his should- ers. Outside the town, where the lake is surrounded like the background of Florentine pic- tures with low and pleasant but empty hills, the Government feeds the wild pig from a high terrace every afternoon.

The town it- self was geranium - coloured by the genial caprice of some ruler long dead; and where the fac- ades had no ornament of white- washed flags or flowers, the out- lines of white windows were painted in for fun, The old pal- ace, now abandoned, was above, in the neck of a valley, and there an elephant would take the ruler's guests.—Fran "Dust in the Lion's Paw," Autobio- graphy 1939-1946, by Freya Stark. DRIVE WITH CARE ! ISSCE 38 — 1962 SWOOPS IN — Mrs, Karen Hantze Susman, swoops in to make q return against Justine Bricks in a U.S. Tennis Singles Championship match, Record -Breaking, Cash Losses Without gambling or indulg- ing in any form of speculation, some people are always losing money. This happens particular- ly in the United States, where Mr. Donald Macanamara, a con- sulting criminologist, says the staggering sunt of $750,000,000 a year is lost through sheer negli- gence, "No nation," says Macnamara, "loses its cash so freely as ours," His survey shows that only one person in ten ever recovers any cash he has lost, But if he loses his car, or has it stolen, his chances of recovery are ninety- five percent good. University graduates, Mr. Mac- namara found, scored highest marks as money -losers, followed closely by professional and bus- inessmen, Of course, there are cash -losers in other countries, In Ringwood, Melbourne, milk -bar proprietor George Nicopoulos always placed his day's takings in a garbage can, until he was ready to bank it Suddenly, while sitting in the barber's chair, he remembered the garbage men were due! With his haircut unfinished, he raced hone, Too late—his can was empty, and his $514 gone. However, he hired a taxi and dashed to the local garbage dump. Luckily, he got there just as the truck arrived. His cash was saved.

The Kids Enjoyed Every Minute Of 1t Peter Monaghan is known around Melbourne as a man with a talent for making money. He makes considerable amounts of it, but he keeps his wheeling - dealings to himself. Last Novem- ber the 37 -year-old entrepreneur found himself in difficulty when a court was investigating . a bankruptcy case involving a wire -fence company and the company manager named Mon- aghan as his silent partner. Sum- moned to testify, Monaghan de- cided he was "a marked man," and he also decided to leave town. So he boarded his own lavish- ly furnished $42,000 lugger, the Bintang Siang, along with his wife, Ivy, and their three chil- dren, Bruce, 8, Glen, 5, and Ter- rie, 3. Together, they headed out into the lonely Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, and began cruising about just beyond the 3 -mile limit that marks the end of police jurisdiction and the be- ginning of international waters. For seven months, the Monag- hens cruised on, Occasionally the skipper nipped in over the Great Barrier Reef to get sup- plies. At other times he met at sea with one Vincent Vlassoff, who hires boats out of the town of Cairns. Through Vlassoff, too, Monaghan arranged to entertain newsmen frons time to time. He even set up a lengthy TV inter- view with Brisbane's station BTQ. After drinks and a leisure- ly lunch, Monaghan went on the air to display his supply of wea- pons and to announce that any attempt to board his ship would be considered an "act of piracy." He also threatened to shoot "any trigger-happy policeman" who tried to capture him. This was too much for the Australian police, They learned that the Bintang Siang had an- chored for repairs within the S- mile limit and an RAAF plane pinpointed it precisely off the tinny fishing village of Portland. Roads. Then they brought up an RAAF crash boat from Towns- ville, 570 miles to the south, and waited their chance. It came at 6;25 a.m, on a misty morning. Three officers came over the side and found Monaghan just getting up, lie submitted quietly and was flown back to land to face trial. Drie ped down for "masquerad- ing as a buccaneer," Monaghan spent five weeks in Brisbane's Pm:tiedge jail before a judge de- cided last month that he had been "sufficiently purged" of contempt charges to be released, He had a cigarette dangling from one corner of his nu ulh and 1.1s captain', cap was still at a jaunty angle. But he was sud- denly quiet as he headed back toward Portlr,nd Roads and his family, waiting aboard the bent. Newsmen who had visited the Bintang Siang during its cruise said that Mrs, Monaghan hadn't been altogether pleased by the sea -borne life, But the kid$ had loved every minute of it, When you hear a person say, "I say just what I think," you know he doesn't think. Putting Golf -On Television Between holes, .Arnold Palmer Waits --anywhere from five min- utes to half an hour; when the cameras are in position for the next hole, he finally steps up to the tee. Just a few feet to the side, the cameras glare ominous- ly and give off a loud, steady whir; there may even be a con- fident cameraman lying down on the grass about 12 feet dead ahead of him. Finally Palmer laces into the ball, sets aside his driver, and picks up his micro- phone, En route to his ball, he tells several 1nil1.i01I home view- ers what's on his mind end what strategy he plans, This is television golf, a new and strange contest which was dreamed up only a few years ago but which will be one of the hot- test sports on the air this season. Conversely, television itself has become about the hottest thing to happen to golf—or at least golfers—since the emergence of the popular Palmer himself, "TV golf has probably been the big- gest factor in increasing the popularity of the game," golfer - commentator Jimmy Demaret of the "All Star Golf" show said recently, At first look, golf and TV seen an unlikely snatch, and for a long time it seemed that way to insiders. "Golf isn't a spectator sport," NBC sports director Tom Gallery said ten years ago, when TV golf was suggested to him. Gallery has changed his mind about that, but not about the dif- ficulties, "It's the toughest damn sport to televise," he said last month, "You get set up on a 'tole and everything looks great, and then the sky changes when the players get there and you can't see the ball in the air any more." But televised golf also offers viewers unique rewards, not the least of which is the unrelenting exposure of the athlete himself, at close range, in a series of agonising and decisive moments. The golf match played espe- cially for TV, however, is a far cry from a regulation tourna- ment. "I think the main differ- ence," Jimmy Demaret says, "is getting adjusted to the delay between each shot. It definitely b r e a k s you r concentration. There's also the camera noise. But Gene Sarazen, Babe Ruth, Gene Tunney, and I once played a rcund with hundreds of kids and Fred Waring's band behind us, and I shot 68 and Sarazen 69. So that debunks the theory that you have to have quiet." "Eighteen holes of television golf," said Gary Player, the other day, "is equivalent to 45 holes of tournament golf, both in time and in what it takes out of you, On a tournament, you get a birdie and it gets you in a charged -up mood and it carries you along. In TV golf, there's the wait. Playing tournament golf is like going straight through, flat-out. Playing TV golf is like playing eighteen separate holes." One unique request that TV makes of golfers is that competi- tors should wear contrasting out- fits for clearer identity. "It is useless to try to hold a man to anything he says while he IS madly in love or drunk." Or trying to get a seat in Parliament.
