THE forbidden land' of Tibet is becoming more accessible nowadays, and several European travellers have penetrated it in recent years. Few women, however, can rival the record of Miss Cable, who, with two other women, made a remarkable journey across Central Asia from the isolated Chinese province of Kansu to Siberia, a journey recorded in their interesting book, ' Through Jade Gate and Central Asia.' By far the most interesting of all their experiences on this adventurous trek was their visit to Tibet, which they were able to enter as. unlike most travellers, they approached it from the Chinese side. In her talk this afternoon Miss Cable will describe the strange ritual dances that the Tibetan lamas perform, fantastically garbed in curious vestments and vast and grotesque masks.
