LORD DUNsANY is one of the
most versatile authors in England.
His books have become collectors
items for Others, but he himself
collects caricatures of we'll known
men, - fgurines of wood or clay
which he models. Once year he
has an "art exhibition" and in
vites his victims to see them
selves. Some day his little figures
of such men as Shaw, Wells,
Barrie or the Duke of Windsor
will probably be as valuable as
first editions of his books.
Lord Dunsany deals more gen.
tly with the little people of Lon
don's parks. Here is a poem he
sent us about them:

In q Park
by LORD DUNsANy

Small folk of woods and grass,
Shy things we seldom see,
Regard us as they pass
With careless scrutiny.
Forsaking leaves and shade,
Bold in the broadest day,
Waterhens unafraid
Walk but yard away.
With opal necks agleam
The wild wood-pigeons COO,
Their glances scarcely seem
To trouble what we do.
And just when dusk is here,
The ducks most secret hour,
Drops without trace of fear
Each wanderer to its bower.
For news has gone about
And crossed the town like fame
And reached the woods without
Here man, at last, is tame.

Y /ou will succeed if you capitalize
" defeat. OF course, if you'd rather
indulge in childish rage and dis
appointment over a preliminary
setback, it's your privilege to fail. But
if you understand the value of defeat
you will take grim pleasure in acknowl-
edging it. Defeat is the best possible
beginning for your march toward sue
cess.
julius Caesar began his career by
joining defeated political party, the
Populanists. His property was con6s-
Gated and he was driven into exile. He
ended his career as head of the vast
Roman Empire. The three dictators of
modern Europe all began as defeated
fusitives from then existing authorities.
In our own country the President
elected last November took previous
beating at the polls as candidate for
Vice President. Even worse was his
health defeat, which served but as a
rallying point for the victory to follow.
1t is safe to say there never was a big
success in living, or small one either,
that wasn't founded in good part on
defeat.
Defeat is a good beginning for sew
eral reasons. 1t shows you what you
can't do before you do it with dis
astrous consequences. Three years ago
lie-detector test showed that mes
senger boy in a bank was stealing. He
was given another chance. Since then
he has put his excellent energy into
pleasing his chief instead of deceiving
him. He has developed real ability, the
foundation for a steady, dependable
career.
Defeat before it is too late may also
show person how his life purpose cam
not be attained. A girl who wanted
love married handsome, conceited,
popular boy. Almost at once he began
neglecting her, treating her unkindly,
pursuing his own selfish pleasures. Add
ing insult to injury, he divorced her on
trumped-up charges. That girl was one
hundred per cent beaten. But her de-
feat pointed the way to accomplishing
Evening star., 1937-07-11
0ss,siag ~ @. Pakik Nsisoa

what she desired. The next man she
married was earnest, sincere, struggling
he needed her. They have found
love and happiness together.
Above all, defeat at the start keeps
you from delusions of grandeur. 1t
keeps you plugging, keeps you down on
earth, keeps you from asking more for
yourself than anybody will pay. When
was in Hollywood buying stories for
Universal Pictures a talented news
paperman whom shall call Larry sub
mitted some scripts. l liked them,
asked him his price. 1t was impossible.
| asked him what he had sold. Before
I'd been in Hollywood month" he
said, 81 sold the first screen story ever
wrote to Cecil De Mile for Sl5,O 5,OOO."
That explained Larry. He needed a
good licking, and instead he had begun
with striking success. 1t had turned
his head, given him an altogether false
idea of himself. Larry has never, to
my knowledge, sold another script He
is now in real estate.
If fate has vouchsafed you good,
sound defeat at the beginning of your
career in any field, remember Larry
and thank your lucky stars. 1t will
keep you from thinking you can win
without working and prevent you from
over-valuing yourself. You may imagine
that you can resist the subtle invasion
of the egotism of triumph, but l have
never yet seen anybody who could do
it at the beginntng of his career, before
he had learned from experience his own
practical value to other people. Defeat
at the beginning teaches you that. If
you build on that knowledge you can
sell yourself for what people will pay.
And after while your price goes up.
lpresume you want to succeed. do.
l hope you will have your defeats. I've
had mine and they have proved more
valuable than successes. Don't confuse
defeat with failure. The only failure is
acceptance of defeat. Regard defeat as
a preliminary experiment that clears
the way and boosts you one step
nearer success.

Hugh Austin was born some

He admits that in school he

he'll probably live that down.

UNrlI recently Frank King,
christened by the English press
"The Thriller Specialist" was
practicing as doctor in Halifax,
England. He found, though, that
his patients began to look at him
askance, believing that man
could write so wildly only on
things that he knew about from
personal experience.
Truth was that he had been
educated very soberly, served his
bit during the Great War in
Egypt and Palestine, and took
up literature as a side line to
medicine.
For some time he carried on
a super Iekyll and Hyde exist
ence, turning out murder stories
with one hand and peace propa-
ganda plays with the other.
When he finally found the
triple life too great strain, he
gave up medicine.
His favorite character is a girl
with Irish eyes and a knack Of
getting, somehow, to the heart
of every crime mystery. In an
early issue you'll meet Molly
O'Rourke, heroine of

Music Appreciation In Russia
OF the Old Days
BY Miss Ethel Jones

In the time of the Cars, Russia
was a land in which musical art
lists were rewarded with a NUM-
ficence unequaled until the sound
movies reached Hollywood. The
Russion mobiles, with their profit
gate enthusiasm, thought nothing
of paying fabulous prices for the
services of singers and performers.
In additions they had a pleasant
little habit of raining jewelry, dia-
monds, rubies, emeralds, golden
cigarette cases, match boxes, silver
tankards, and all manner of other
precious things upon them. of
