— you can hang them now 

 at every window 



Prom the million homes where the original Bren- 

 lin Unfilled Shades are known as the most beautiful 

 and durable shades made, there has come a repeated 

 demand for a Brenlin standard of quality in shades 

 of lower grade for less important windows. 



Go to your dealer today and let him show you how 

 he can supply this demand. He now has Brenlin in 



25c 



Three Grades 

 priced at 75c, 55c and 



(except in the Far West) 



for windows of ordinary size (l yd. wide x 2 yds. long) 



Brenlin Unfilled — the original Brenlin — should always 

 be used where length of service and attractive appearance, 

 are first considerations. For this shade is made of closely 

 woven cloth without the "filling:" that cracks and falls 

 out in unsig-htly streaks and "pinholes". Sun won't fade it 

 nor water spot it. It is supple — not stiff, yet always 

 hangs straight and smooth — and really shades. Made in 

 many artistic tones. For windows 1 yard wide x 2 yards 

 long, 75c. Special sizes and Brenlin Duplex — white one 

 side, dark the other, made to order at proportionate prices. 



The two new Brenlin grades, Brenlin Filled at 55c and 



Brenlin Machine Made at 25c, for windows 1 



yardx2 yds. will be found by far the best values 

 in shades at these prices. Cut generously 

 long and finished with unusual care.

Browning and His Century 



By Helen A. Clarke 



M 1 



TSS CLARKE is too well known for her earlier works on Brown- 

 ing to need introduction. Her "Browning's England" and 

 "Browning's Italy," are delightful and illuminating revelations of the 

 effect of two lands so widely dissimilar upon the great modern poet. 

 Her present volume is a fascinating discussion of the interrelation of 

 the man with his time. Beginning with a chapter on the Battle of Mind 

 and Spirit, which she finds as the mark of opening of his century, Miss 

 Clarke takes up such themes as : The Century's End; Promise of Peace; 

 Political Tendencies; Social Ideals; Art Shibboleths; Classic Survivals and Prophetic Visions. 

 The volume is immensely suggestive to all who are in the least familiar with the poet; while 

 to others it will give that which is so difficult to get — a rounded-out notion of the age, the man, 

 his work and his message. Coming as it does in the centennial year, the book has an added 

 significance and it will surely find an appreciative reading at the hands both of those who are 

 already familiar, and those who are just beginning to know, this master poetic mind of the 

 19th century. Net, $1.50.
