Contents

• The Cunarder's Calendar of Events
  Covers Austria, Britain, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
• Pekin
  By Sydney Greenbie
  I have seen the marvel of Pekin through the eyes of a cautious old man who was death on exaggeration. Here is a Pekinese that is a Pekinese. And a frivolous pet he looks too, for a Lama monk from the solemn plains of Thibet. These monks, in their robes the color of grape juice, are a characteristic part of the Pekin scene.
• The Happy Island
  Japan and the Japanese
  By Reneé Browne
  These Japanese smiles weren't just put on for a particularly funny photographer. Laughter is characteristic of the Japanese, who are in general light-hearted and contented.
• Something Rich and Strange
  The City of Bangkok
  By Ethel Fleming
  Bangkok, the capital of Siam, boasts sophistication against the most exotic background in the world.
• Soft Life in Shanghai
  Living Well on Little In China
  By Anne Donnelly
  People with very moderate incomes, as reckoned by our standards, can afford a servant or two, and good ones. For a few dollars per month, the office stenographer can sport a personal maid, the clerk can manage a bachelor apartment with a servant thrown in.
• Aloha from Hawaii
  By Betty Bacon
  Many a traveler is surprised to discover that Honolulu is not on Hawaii at all, but on the island of Oahu, and that Hawaii is a big island off to the south.
• The World of Diversion
  By Betty Shannon
  Do not expect me to tell you of all the festivals that are going on in Europe at the moment, and will be going on in August and even into September. There are festivals everywhere, and if you want to see one, it is safe to say -- "Scratch any small country on the European map, and you will find a festival."
