Asia. July 1921

All rights reserved."JULY 1921 For fit and wear—for complete Summer satisfaction— we recommend our Sweaters and Hose of camel's hair THE AMERICAN ASIATIC ASSOCIATION THE PURPOSE of The American Asiatic Association iTo contribute to a satisfactory adjusment of the relations between Asiatic countries and the rest of the world by the removal of sources of misunderstanding and the dissipation [...] THE DEADLY KARAIT By Will Levington Comfort and Zamin ki Dost The feel of fear sensed by a creature of the blackest reputation of all India— two Englishmen heavy with the torture of solitude—a watcher and painter of the big cats" and other haunters of the jungles—component parts of a tale by a keen observer of animals and men. [...] The road to the walled windowless palace in which Begum lived passed in front of the Mission hospital and stretched towards the Himalayas broad and khakcolored -in fact the very word "khaki" is derived from the name of the dust of streets like that one blinding white in the sunshine and shaded often as that one was with mighty gnarled trees whose tops touched very high in the air above [...] I followed the road out of the city and having passed a few orange gardens of the rich I paused to look for a second across the young green wheat-fields that stretched from the road seemingly to the foot-hills and then I turned into the path among orangand banana-trees which led to the courtyard gate. [...] Today we send a dinner to the hospital to nurses and to patients and a special one for the doctor and yourself and to the cooking of that we must ourselves attend.
