But the "secret engagement" of Caliph's daughter and Nizam's heir last week struck many Moslems as a happy thought.

Aged women forgot their slippers and wrappers as the black-robed nuns herded them into a crawling, shuffling line down the rickety fire escapes. Querulous prayers rose in the darkness to blend with hysterical shrieks.
