"ShaI I go on the stage?"
When you whisper this question in
your own ear, little American Girl,
whisper another one right in the
same ear, and with the very next
breath. Say it this way:
'eWhat have I to give the stage?"
And then answer it~truly, because
you are the person who will be
fooled most, and hurt most, by the
wrong answer. The answer you
should be able to make, if you are to
succeed on the stage, is
Personality! have loads of per
sonality to give the stage"
Then, if you answer your second
question to yourself that way, you
can hazard an UncomprOmising
Eyes" to the first question-and get
ready to go ION the stage"

LAMA'S CROWN
DISTURBS FEAST
Traveller Describes Hilar-
ity at Buddhist
Ceremony.

Rodney Gilbert, who has been travel
ling in the wild northwest OF China,
tells of visit 10 a Buddhist monastery
called Tung Ko Sc in The East and
West News" A resident living Buddha
had been, IL seems, out Of the flesh for
seven years and had persistently evad-
ed rebirth, and II had been decided 20
send him a goodly banquet through the
fine essence of fire. Mr.. Gilbert was
out of doors when he heard thunder
of drums and trumpets within the
lamasery. He proceeds:
II climbed the entrance, crowded with
Tibetan women pressing their noses
into the stone pavement. To the right
were ranged fifty priests, squatting on
mats in their gala dress, which served
to bring their ferocious bronze faces
into relief. Each wore black wig,
with bangs that hung 10 his brows, and
bound knot which rose eight inches
above his scalp. This headdress was
encircled by crown, gilded and orna-
mented with pictures Of Buddha more
grotesque than impressive. In the front
row sat a muscular lama with an open
book on his knees and a pair Of GYM
balls in his hands. Immediately oppo-
site him blazed log fire. and beyond it
on the left side Of the court a visiting
Giving Buddha' sat cross-legged on a
throne and stared into the fire with the
rapt expression of crystal gazer A
table covered with platters of tsambs,
butter, oil, brick tea and various lib
etan dalntles was convenient to his
right hand.
The muscular leader OF the choir
chanted a line from the book on his
knees in a voice that set the dishes
vibrating, and II was repeated by the
chorus. Then came the desfening
thunder and clatter OF drum and Gym
balls and the Buddha emptied plate
Of good food into the fire. Again the
reading went on, again there was din
and more food was resolved into its
spiritual essences.
Every one looked solemn enough
for time. but after the novelty wore
off the pilgrims at the gate began 70
shift uneasily and the lamas grinned
affably 10 their friends in the audience.
The big fellow who did the chanting
smiled across at me and, reaching IN
der his cloak, drew forth a long yak
horn. Posing this with one hand. he
roared line Of the sacred text while
he poured out a good portion Of snuff
into the palm Of the other hand. This
