134 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE. TRAVEL TO THESE PLACES IN FEBRUARY Join our very select and personally conducted party and travel in leisurely fashion through HOLLAND LONDON BERNE JAPAN PERU BUDAPEST CHINA EISENACH HELIGOLAND RANGOON CAIRO ARIZONA NEW MEXICO MANDALAY SEVILLE POMPEII You need not leave the comfort of your library fireside — you will not have to catch steamers or trains — you will not have to endure polar cold or tropical heat. You will have none of the inconveniences of travel and yet all of its pleasures and advantages. You will become familiar with the world by close contact — you will be at home everywhere and have at least a bowing acquaintance with people in every city of the world. Here in detail are a few of the charming glimpses of the world which you will have in February: FROM RANGOON TO MANDA LAY, by S. R. Vinton This article is a narrative of one who is thoroughly familiar with Burma. The manners and customs of this remarkable part of the world as well as the physical qualities of the country are set down with the greatest fascination. HELIGOLAND, by Dr. Perry Wor den The recent edict to the effect that in the future tourists would not be allowed further inland than the seashore has turned the eyes of the world toward this place and makes this article of timely note. OVER THE ANDES IN A HANDCAR The novelty of this article aside from its adventurous and descriptive features will make it a very striking part of the magazine, especially on account of its unusual photographs. THE LATTER DAYS OF POMPEII Mr. Heriry James Forman is the author of a number of books on travel and he shows in this article the same keen sympathy with the subject as in his larger books. He makes Pompeii live again. CHEESE DAY AT ALKMAAR, by Blair Jaekel Tells of the humorous possibilities in the quaint little Dutch town of Alkmaar and the cheese industry. BUDAPEST ON THE "BLUE DANUBE." by Schuyler M. Meyer Comparatively few people have any idea as to the beauty of this city of Austria-Hungary or of its interesting people. Its picturesque position on the Danube and its many scenic and architectural beauties are shown here in an entertaining manner. TIPPING AS A FINE ART The author of this article, Frank X. Finnegan, writes from a full heart — he has had to distribute largesse to waiters and other servants all over Europe, and what he has to say on the subject will strike a chord of sympathy in every reader. And, incidentally, it will get a laugh. ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO The communities of the Pueblo Indians, those compact little towns of stone and adobe, Oriental in aspect and each with a local government of its own, are not only graphically described by Charles Francis Saunders, but the life and manners of these interesting people are depicted with incisive detail and interest.
