Customs and Costumes of the Past in Lahore’s Kaleidoscope
Temple Manning tours a historic highway from the Khyber Pass to Calcutta, noting caravans and elephants beside motor trucks.

Women in white tunics and big checked waistcoats mingle with bracelets and American wrist watches, while men wear stockings and Lahore girls wear socks as a sign of evolving style.
