The Red Mask

At first glimpse it looked like a man in a red mask and black cloak, crawling on his hands and knees. A moment later the red-masked figure straightened, spread great wings and flew into the blue above the Himalayas.

A carrion vulture! Coming out of the Englishman's cabin!

Pilsbury, of the Forest Reserve, stationed near Murree-whimsical, delicate, studious-a Iman who had a way with small creatures.

Beattie, his Chief-all man-plenty of chin, a bullock neck, a lot of appetites partially under control-said to be brave.

The deadly Karait, a creature of the blackest reputation of all India-thin as a lead pencil, black with the black of old leather, a dull gleam to her extra unlovely head-Pilsbury's one defense against the bullying of Beattie:

Around this triangle Will Levington Comfort and Zamin ki Dost interlace one of their remarkable Eastern stories a study in the psychology of fear between animals and men.

The Dangerous Islands - By Frederick O'Brien
For more than 400 years these siren
islands, a bracelet of ivory and jade
set in the sapphire Pacific, have been
known to mariners as marking the
most parlous piece of sea in all the
round of the globe. They are the fairy
islands of childhood, the coral strand
of youth, the lotus lands of poesy. It
takes but Frederick O'Brien's inimitable
story-telling to put you on familiar
terms with every interesting character
on Niau, from the Mormon deacon who
peddles bread to Chocolate, a mongrel
pup of the Marquesas.

An Evening with the "Damned" By K.K.Ardashir
"Oh, Allah! We are indeed lost!" ex-
claimed old Abdul Hamid, thirty-fifth
Sultan of Turkey, when an English
friend said to him that the Turks were
the only commercially honest people in
Europe. Chatty and historical anec-
dotes go to make up this more than
entertaining article about the old Sultan
who once claimed that, "The British
Sovereign and I are the two greatest
Mohammedan powers on the earth!"
Singing Craftsmen of Peking - - By Sam Dean
American captains of industry marvel
at the wonderful handicraft, skill of
the Chinese, an abiding heritage from
days when work was art and art gave
joy and joy meant song. These merry
artisans, members each of their power-
ful guilds, still specialize on beauty
while the rest of the world concentrates
on production

Hindu Stories in American Negro Folk Lore
By Norman Brown
There's nothing new-even under the
Asiatic sun! Now we find that some
of Uncle Remus' very best thrillers
have their counterparts in the softly
told stories that little Hindu children
listen to at night from their Ayahs.
Main Street in a Caucasian Village By Elizabeth Anderson
Molikans, Armenians, Russians, Turks,
crowd Main Street in Dilijan, where
even the mildest men looked ferocious
when they stared from under their
shaggy caps of tangled sheepskin at
this plucky American girl who made
the acquaintance of these swaggering
Caucasians while doling out the sup-
plies of a Relief Commission.

the golden shadows of the Shwe Dagon
or voyaging along the silken river that
skirts the lazy city of Rangoon.

Household Accidents

ON cleaning days, when the whole house undergoes searching

inspection-how those spots and splotches on the varnish do glare at you.

It is so needless to allow your house to become varnish-shabby. Valsparring your furniture and woodwork is absolute protection against the little accidents that mar or ruin the surface of ordinary varnish.

Water Can't Harm Valspar RAINY days never leave

ugly reminders in the shape of dull blots on a Valsparred floor. The whole family may come rushing in, frisking raindrops from coats and shoes, trailing little rivulets of water from their umbrellas, without

injuring the beautiful finish of a Valsparred floor.

[ocr errors]

Rain beating in at the window, snow water, soapy water, scalding hot water, cannot mar a Valsparred surface. Even biting acids have no effect upon it REAL incident is illustrated by this picture. Mrs. H. A. Kern of Vallejo, Cal., was carrying a dish. of cabbage in vinegar, boiling hot, from the range to the sink. The dish slipped out of her hands and its contents were strewn on the floor. She ended her account of the mishap by saying, "The floor, to my surprise, came out just the same as before the accident. I thought that this was rather a severe test with the boiling food and the acid of the vinegar." All through the house

[ocr errors]

WHY not list all the places in the house that can be

made accident - proof

by Valspar?

Begin with the hall. Here guests receive their first impression of your home. People tramp in dust and mud; the children run in and out. Surely the hall

floor gets very severe wear. It demands a varnish the is waterproof and accident-proof, looks well and wear well-Valspar.

Then the living-room. A streaky or scarred flod will spoil its whole appearance. When the radiator spouts floods of scalding water or the youngsters water the floor instead of the fern, then you realize the necessity of an accident-proof, wearproof varnish-Valspar.

Dining-room next. Remember that disfiguring whit ring the hot dish left on the table? If the table ha only been Valsparred! For Valspar resists heat!

All the furniture needs Valspar for good looks an protection.

Now the kitchen-where accidents are always hap pening. Valspar the floor, whether it is bare or covere with linoleum, Congoleum or oil-cloth. Valspar pro tects any floor

makes it sanitary.
Valsparred surfaces
may be washed sweet
and clean with hot
water and soap.

And in bathroom
and laundry-Val-

essary. Hot soapy water, steam, moist air-Valspa is proof against them all.

Accidents are common to every household. Yo can't prevent them-but you can protect woodworl and furniture with Valspar.

Anything that's worth Varnishing

is worth Valsparring.
