Chapter XXVI: The Ivory Palace

_Source._--Knowles, _Folk-Tales of Kashmir_, pp. 211-25, with some slight omissions. Gulizar is Persian for rosy-cheeked.

_Parallels._--Stokes, _Indian Fairy Tales_, No. 27. "Panwpatti Rani," pp. 208-15, is the same story. Another version in the collection _Baital Pachisi_, No. 1.

_Remarks._--The themes of love by mirror, and the faithful friend, are common European, though the calm attempt at poisoning is perhaps characteristically Indian, and reads like a page from Mr. Kipling.
