Origin of "The Story ofthe
Other Wise Man" Traced
Theme of Washington's Yuletide Drama
Came to Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Author,
as He Lay on a Sick Bed

placing all versions made by others
than himself
EXCEPT only the Washington ver-
sion, which continues annually,
through courtesy and at the wish Of
El1e late author of the dream legend,
in Luther Place Memorial Church,
where during Christmas week, accord
ing to the tradition OF the past 10
years, the drama, as conceived from
the book by Washington writers and
producers. enacted by Washington
players, with music arranged and
rendered by Washington musicians,
attracts huge audiences nowadays.
And the benefits" derived from the
free-wiIl offerings of the audience
each night go as Yuletide gift from
the Chapel Players to the poor and
the needy of the city in token Of the
spirit of Artaban, the Median Of Ecba-
tana, the "other wise man, who by
the waters Of Babylon risked the re-
ware of his faith for a single deed OF
human love when he turned aside
a dying stranger; when in Bethlehem
of Judea he parted with the second OF
his three Jewels to save the life Of
little child, and when, 33 years later,
on the way to the Damascus Gate. in
Jerusalem, he surrendered the last of
his Jewels that he had kept for the
King to rescue a helpless slave girl
from worse than death, and found the
King on Calvary.
In the drama, as in the story, q
still. small voice comes through the
twilight of his life struggle, which
seems to say Verify say unto thee.

one of the least of these, my brethren.

in the end 1 might have an arbi-
tIary ideal. But would she be beauti-
full in fact?
st have seen women whose eyes
were set too closely together, who had
something wrong with every part of
their faces and figures, if you anslyzec
them in the way have suggested-yet
these women have dominated a room
where so-called perfect beauties
thronged unnoticed.
what is beautiful to me is not so
to you, and what you may delight in
would mean nothing at all to the
young man in the next room.
'In this country it is the Eweet young
adolescent who Is thought lovely.
Abroad it Is the woman of mature
years who attracts attention. Beauty
over there never means youth. but is
an attribute of the woman of 80 or 40
Since a motion picture star never

requires the most bookkeeping. On
the first of the month the amount Is
set down on a blank page. AS clothes
are purchased, trips made to the
movies. the theater or concerts, when
doctors bills come in, when any ex-
penditure is made which is not covered
in an individual account, the expendl-
ture should be entered in the book and
deducted from the surplus balance.
If goods are purchased in a store, on
credit. the amount still should be de-
Quoted from the current months sur"
plus.
WHEN this surplus is gone extraor'
binary expenditures should stop.
Going into debt is the only alternative.
Now and then it Becomes possible
to add income beyond the regular
amount. When this occurs the sums
obtained should go into the surplus
account.
This form of budgeting is very SIM
pie, foolproof and workable, because
it is based on known income and
known fixed charges. The difference
between the two controls the flexible
expenditures. which can be adjusted
to meet conditions.
AS a further aid, starting from the
the back of the book to the front, the
items which are deductible in income
returns can be set down as they occur,
thus making the preparation Of in-

ter.
This budget system, from the per-
Sonal experience Of the writer. is most
effective. In fact. it is the best five
months budgeting method he has
ever encountered. Along about the
first of June his ambition begins to
dwindle and the budget suffers as a
consequence. However, the records
up until that time could hardly be
bettered. Some time the writer is
going to carry it through full year
to a successful conclusion. Perhaps
it will be next year. At any rate that

"a pairing from the hoof and the
ears of the victim are burned on the
altar, apparently as an act of con-
secration.
THE priest at sacrifices, other than
the New Year sacrifice which Is
the greatest of all, receives the
shoulder, the breast and the skin.
Then the worshippers divide up the
flesh among themselves. No stranger
may eat of it, because it is holy.
1.-The procedure varies somewhat ac-
cording to locality. The remarkable
thing is that these bands of men in
the stiffness and darkness of midnight
meet to worship God in this way and
have done so for more than 1000
years in West China. They believe
they meet God there. He comes near
to them in the person of their angel
Je-Dsu. The light of the sacrificial
fire, reflected in the glistening white
ness of their white stone, symbolizes
his glory. It is their Shechinah. This
sacrificial light represents to them the
shining of the divine effulgence.
THE ceremony on the mountain
ends with responsive singing after
the sacrifices. Rejoicing and dancing
are engaged in by all. The songs sung
are said to be very beautiful For
three days all work ceases. 1t is a
real Sabbath of rest and gIadness
pointing foreward to its counterpart
in the heavens"
Few scientists or explorers ever
have visited the Chi'ang. They live in
the westernmost recesses of the
Szechwan Province of China, where
their closest contacts have been with
the mysterious Tibetans. They are
described as a hospitable, although
naturally somewhat suspicious, people.

worshipers kneel as the priest begins
his chants and prayers. He keeps time
with small drum. Je-dsu, the angel
overseer Of all that is done, looks
down to see that the hearts of those
present are sincere. If not the re-
puted punishment is liability to trans

A special awe, therefore, rests on every
worshipper.
" A T THE conclusion of the initiatory

The background established, he re-
moves the rope from the lamb. The
rope is wound around the vessel that
is to receive the blood. The priest and
the elders now kneel and place their
hands on the head of the victim, After
wards all who have specially prepared
themselves do the same.
After this solemn act of the trans
ference of their sin to the lamb the
priest recites an intercessory prayer.
1t begins with triple ascription to
God and goes on to invoke him to
see and hear that they have as
sembled to offer sacrifice. He pleads
that the offering of lamb has been
perpetuated from of old and the pay
ing of VOWS from former generations.
Then comes the prayer
"The arrow is now removed from
the bow on the white banner and the
lamb slain. The original practice was
to kill the lamb by brazen arrow,
this being the symbol of judgment.
Now a knife. the property of the
priest, is used.

interchanging and yelling far beneath
the surface We are speaking, of
course, of the perfect gems in each
case, not of those with flaws which
may change the character of the stone.
Irene Dunno is the priceless milky

patrician features, its delicate forms
and easy, effortless sway over time
and material. . She has light,
gracious presence. speak always
of what comes to me from the screen,
remember.
The youthful pearl and moonStone
is the essence of Ann Sothern. Like
these gems, she seems to bring
fair, shining picture of romantic
nights, soft music and the breathlesS
moments of the magic teen age. {.
An unpretentious, but wholly sincere,
beauty.
Norma Shearer-this star is one of
my pets on the Screen-giveS me the
warm, clear colors that rise and wane
in the topaz. She possesses the
same sense of majesty, the simplicity
and wellspring of human, earthly
charm. She and the topaz have
like power for aloofness and warm
friendship.
GRACE MOORE is that amazing
thing-the changing Alexandrite
that turns its personality from cool
green in the daytime to an intense
and compelling presence of crimson
in the night shade. She has
trenchant ability that bellies the calm
ness of her appearance. She con-
quers the most drab as easily as she
triumphs over the most luxurious sur
roundingS.
Then there is Joan Bennett. At
first glance one thinks that there are
a million more like her, that she has
a more commonplace beauty than the
others. But this is not so. She is the
blue of apphire-somehow the blue of
sapphire seas more nearly reflects the
color she has ageless, unso-
phisticated depths to her beauty,
depths a modern world cannot touch.
She has a pastel beauty that may
dafken and become concentrated with
passing light and mood.
after all, beauty is so much a mat
ter of mood. Knowing person inti-
mately you realize that she is some
times lovely, sometimes not lovely at
all, that her appearance depends on
outside things. Always, however, in
side she remains her real self, the self

had it in mind that was to be an
architect, so I tried to see what l could
do in that field.
But no, it seemed that could not
be an architect here. In New York
the idea of a building was so many
wooden boxes piled on one another
with squares cut for windows. They
did not care for the modernistic things
already being designed abroad. l
found I could be craftsman, draw
ing up plans for these wooden boxes.
''I decided I would be sculptor. I
went to Boston, rented small studio
on Charles street (where is the Mont
martre of BOSTON, for SIS month,
and became a sculptor.

toward the goal Of architecture.
''In the course of my studies he re-
lated, Il had taken lessons in painting,
in dancing, in literature, classes in
modelling classes in music, all these
that I might understand each art in
preparation for the chosen one of
architecture. The first time had
clay in my hands felt a supreme hap
piness, but I did not think more deeply
about it because it had been predeter-
mined that my destiny was designing
buildings. so I forsook the clay with
out realizing what it might have

''Then I came to America, greatly
needing a profession that would sup
port me, a way to make a living as
well as way to express myself.
