H. Langdale, of the Alexandria, Wlnut Hills, read like a fairy-tale.Practices Dentistry in India.In 1902 Dr. Langdale graduated from the Ohio Dental College with high honors. At the same time a Dr. Smith, who had established a successful practice in India, was looking for an assistant andchose Dr. Langdale out of the large graduating class to return with him to India.Being young and an American, withall the splendid qualities that go with such a heritage, Dr. I^angdale strove tosucceed—-to make a name for himselfand be a credit to his country.It ail required time and patience, but he was successful and soon wa| known for many miles around, both on account of his profession as well as his genial disposition.He probably is the only American who has had the novel experience of being called to the harem of one of the Rajahs to, fill the pearly teeth of these dark-eyed beauties. It is the custom in that country for women to veil their faces, and no exception was made in the young doctoc’s favor.Sheet Between Him and Patient.A sheet was placed betwreen himself and his patient, with only an opening large enough to permit a view of the mouth.Besides the inhabitants, the doctor numbers among his patients a great| number of the tourists who travel over there so extensively.In India the professional man has the entree to all social functions, and Last year he was one of the favorite few to whom the following invitation was extended by Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, to the grand durbar:Invitation to Durbar Ball.Af“The aic^-de-camp in waiting is commanded by His Excellency the Viceroy to invite Dr. R. H. Langdale to a ball, Friday, January 8, 1904, at 9:30 o'clock.” Last June Dr. Langdale began practice for himself and has now fully decided to make India his future home.The life there is a life of ease, with servants at one's beck and call from morning until night, and the cost of living is really very small, as the natives are willing to work for very small pay.
