varying and perpetually interesting
surrounding for the romance of two
human beings whom love strips of
every difference in ancestry and social
place.
Kitty. an orphan of mysterious
birth and magic destiny, is a modern
Cinderella. She surpasses Cinderella
of the fable in that she is mistress
of the philosophy of laughter.

maid Denny. R. Henderson Bland, the
noted English actor. poet ana writer,

India and elsewhere, and l am here

India that the oriental knows.
India possesses unequaled featS OF
engineering and wonders of man and
nature the like of which can be found
nowhere else. She has a row of con-
tinuous temples one and a half miles
long, hewn out of one solid mountain.
She has another temple covering six
