O VER at the Paramount stu
dio you are just a wallflow
er if you don’t know your
American history. Directors,
players, authors and any vis
itors who happen to be around
swap stories about pioneer
days, and anyone brash enough
to mention current events like
who won the second race at
Santa Anita, or what happened
last night at a cafe, is quickly
squelched.
To the great success of "The
Plainsman" goes the credit—or the
blame—for all this pride in the past.
The company is so enthusiastic over
that picture, and the forthcoming
|‘Maid of Salem” that they are delv
ing into history for their next big
production, "I, James Lewis," the
story of the early days of the Wells-
Far go express.

Actors are apt to be a pretty
gloomy and pessimistic lot when

Instead of raving about Henry
Fonda and Sylvia Sidney in the grip
ping tragic "You Only Live Once,"
Hol!ywotelians come out of the thea
ter making up silly couplets. That
is what the company gets for dis
pensing with grammar in the title.
One ef Henry’s best friends said,
" ‘You Live Only Once’ may be bet
ter grammar, but ‘You Only Live
Once' is.elegant drammer." Anoth
er one, playing with the same idea,
said, " ‘You Live Only Once’ may
be more grammatical, but ‘You On
ly Live Once’ is very dramatical."
Susan Fleming thought that she
bad retired from the screen when
she married Harpo Marx, but she
made the mistake of stopping in
at the studio to have luncheon with
her husband, and first thing she
knew the director called out, "That
girl over there—she’s just what I’ve
been looking for." So, she is play
ing in "A Day at the Races" with
ker husband and his giddy brothers.
Ginger Rogers is not only the
most popular girl in Hollywood
these days; she is the most sur
prising. Night after night she is
oat dancing with one of her many
beanx—Jimmy Stewart, or Cary
Grant, or the visiting socialite, Al
fred Vanderbilt—bat all that gayety
hasn’t stopped her from breaking
lato a new career. She has written
a song called "I Can’t Understand."
Kaybe you heard Fred Astaire in
troduce it over the air recently.
That is team work for yop.
Myrna Loy isn’t complaining, but
she does think wistfully nowadays
of W. S. Van Dyke,
and the way he can
direct a marvelous
picture like "The
Thin Man" or its se
quel in eighteen or
twenty days. She
has been working in
"Parnell" for throe
months and the end
isn’t anywhere in
sight. John Stahl,
who directed “The
Magnificent Obses
sion" and many
other thrilling pic
tures, is very deliberate about his
work, and in making "Parnell" he
is just as apt to have Myrna and
Clark Gable do scenes over and
over as he is to repeat the scenes
of minor players.

T HE capital city of Nepal,
the sequestered kingdom
among the Himalayas north
of India, is a curious mixture
of new and old. It centers around
an immense parade ground, a beau
tiful two-mile stretch of closely
cropped grass. Broadly speaking,
the old part of the city lies to the
west of this area, the new part to
the east.
Before the Gurkha conquest in
1768, the predominant and ruling
race in Nepal was the Newar. The
Newars are of Mongolian extraction
and emigrated into Nepal from Tib
et in prehistoric times. They are
responsible for the origin and devel
opment of Nepalese art in all its
branches.
“Gurkha” is really a compre
hensive term, embracing both the
foreign Rajputs and the indigenous
races of Nepal other than the Ne
war. It comes from the little state
of that name in western Nepal,
where the immigrant Rajputs from
the plains of India originally settled.
These Rajputs, ancestors of the
present rulers of the kingdom, fled
to the hills after the Moslem sack
of Chitor in 1303. Here they estab
lished themselves, flourished, and
gradually extended their territories.
It was not until 1768, however, that
they finally effected the complete
conquest of Nepal.
Thenceforth the Rajputs held un
disputed sway over this unique Him
alayan kingdom. Internally, their
activities have been directed not so
much towards artistic as towards
military advancement. Out of a
total population of some 5,600.000,
thev have today an army of about
45,000.. In times of need they can,
with the aid of their well-trained
reserve force, raise as many as
70,000 troops.
Gnrkha Army Really Powerful.
The bulk of the soldiery is drawn
from the Gurung and Magar tribes
Among these peoples are some of
the hardiest fighting men in exist
ence. When, therefore, they are
placed under Rajput leaders, the
descendants of an ancient race,
world-famous for its deeds of cour
age and chivalry on the battlefield,
the power of this mighty Gurkha
army is formidable indeed.
In Katmandu, the artistic spirit
of the Newars and the martial spir
it of the modern rulers mingle. To
the west of the vast parade ground
lies the old town with its palaces
and temples, its tall houses and
narrow streets. In the Durbar
square, that essential feature of all
Newar cities, the principal build
ings are grouped in a rich profusion
of pagoda roofs, painted wood,
chiseled stone and shining metal.
At one side stands the imposing
palace of the former kings, built
around a spacious courtyard. Close
by it, raised on a high step plinth,
towers the lofty temple of Taleju,
the household goddess of the royal
family. All around are temples and
shrines and tall, slender pillars
bearing bronze statues of kings and
religious personalities.
The buildings in the indigenous
"pagoda" style are of dull-red brick
with tiled roofs supported by in
tricately carved wooden struts. The
doors, too, are of wood and the lin
tels are invariably extended into the
brickwork, where they form bold
and effective designs. The wood
work is usually painted in bright
colors and the roofs are sometimes
covered with sheets of beaten brass,
dazzling in the brilliant sun.
Lost in this maze of the old Ne
war splendor stands the modern
Hanuman Dokha, a large white
building containing huge audience
halls and staterooms used for im
portant ceremonies. To this palace,
during a durbat, the scarlet lancers
of Nepal come clattering through
the cobbled streets of Katmandu.
Modern. City Quite Practical.
Beyond the lovely Newar city,
grouped around a huge park and
stretching away to the east, lies
modern Katmandu, the creation of
the Gurkhas. Here are no roman
tic pagodas rising golden tier upon
golden tier towards an azure heav
en, but severely practical barracks,
schools, colleges, hospitals, and
prisons built in the "European
style." Here, too, are the immense
"modem" palaces of the king, the
Maharaja and the chief nobles, de
signed by French architects in the
late Nineteenth and early Twentieth
centuries.
When one recalls the difficult jour
ney into the valley over steep and
wild mountain passes, it seems
strange to look upon these vast
buildings, standing in so remote a
country, equipped with the most up-
to-date conveniences and luxuries.
The roads in the actual town are
good and broad, and it is amusing
to remember that all the motors and
lorries which run on them have
been carried bodily over the passes
by swarms of coolies.
Though Nepal is nominally a king
dom, the king in reality is little
more than a religious figurehead,
the actual government of the coun
try falling to the lot of the prime
minister, or maharaja.
He is modern and enlightened in
his outlook and anxious to introduce
any new invention which may bene
fit his country, but he prohibits im
portation of certain Western crea
tions. Foremost among these is the
motion picture. He believes that to
show vivid scenes of intimate oc
cidental life has a demoralizing ef
fect on the spectators.
At 10 o’clock every evening a cur
few tolls in Katmandu and the oth
er big towns of the kingdom and
everybody must retire to his house.
Anyone found in the streets after
this time has to spend the night in
prison. Gambling and drinking are
forbidden except during certain fes
tivals. The most popular is the
great Durga Puja, which lasts ten
days, during which time hundreds
of buffaloes are beheaded in honor
of the goddess Durga, who is but
another form of the famous black
Kali.
Patan Is Picturesque.
Besides Katmandu, there are two
other large towns in the same val
ley, both former capitals of Nepal.
Patan practically adjoins modern
Katmandu. Passing through its nar
row streets you come into the fan
tastic Durbar square.
On one side, a graceful group of
temples rises in a series of elegant
red pagodas ribbed with gleaming
bronze. Brightly colored struts, rich
with delicate carving, support their
myriad roofs; shimmering bell fin
ials cap their airy upper stories.
Opposite them, and dotted irregu
larly over the spacious square, lies
a swarm of other temples, x foun
tain, a colossal bell, and a number
of tall, slender pillars bearing the
shining bronze figures of gods and
kings.
The pagoda temples have brightly
colored stuffs hanging in gay ripples
from their eaves. There are also
temples in silvery stone built up in
tiers of intricately carved pillars,
and pavilions which cluster around
the massive curvilinear tower ris
ing from their midst like some huge
gray cactus plant.
The third large town in the val
ley is Bhatgaon. It can be ap
proached from Patan by motor over
a bad, uneven road, a distance of
some seven miles. Far the most
delightful way to enter it, however,
is on the back of an ambling Tibet
an pony.
In the early Eighteenth century
the city was the capital of Raja
Bhupatindra Malla, a man of ex
quisite taste and a patron of the
arts. It was he who built the
stately Durbar hall with its famous
Golden Door—one of the chief mar
vels of Nepal—and its richly carved
windows.
Bhatgaon is a city of surprises
Unlike Patan, its beauty is not con
centrated in one colossal and
breath-taking durbar square; it is
distributed' throughout the length
and breadth of the town.
Here you come upon a little tem
ple of silver stone, set gracefully
upon a high step plinth, with an
avenue of gods and monsters lead
ing up to its portals. There you
walk through a blue wooden door
in a crumbling, ‘pink brick wall
and lo! you are in a wild, tangled
garden with fruit trees and flowers,
tall, slender palms, and in the cen
ter a flourishing crop of rice.
Beyond the garden you pass down
fascinating little streets of shops
and houses with carved windows
and suddenly you find yourself in
an open square. On your right
stands another architectural marvel
of Nepal, the Temple of the Five
Stages.
The assurance that someone is
praying for us is an anchor in a
time ot storm. Many a man or
woman has been on the point of giv
ing up In despair, of yielding to
temptation, and has been carried
through to victory by the interces
sion of a godly mother or father.
Just to know that someone prays
for us is to And strength for the
knees that have weakened and for
the heart that has all but failed.
Infinitely more precious is the
truth of our lesson, that the Lord
Jesus himself prayed for each one
of his followers. John 17:20 makes
clear that while he prayed for those
who were with him at the time, he
also included in his petition all who
since that day have come to be
lieve on him because of their testi
mony
Before entering upon his inex
pressibly precious and beautiful
prayer, the Lord gave to his fol
lowers a promise which was of vital
importance.
I. A Promise (16:5-7).
Persecution is coming, and Jesus
will not be with them to meet the
trying hour. He is about to enter
upon that final scene in his earthly
life, which will bring it to its end
in “a place called the place of a
skull."
How then can he say to them that
it is expedient for them that he go
awa/? Because he will send the
Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Students
of the Scriptures recognize in the
Holy Trinity an inscrtittfbWl mys
tery, but receive the teaching of the
Bible concerning the ministries of
the three persons in the one God
head with g’tad and thankful hearts.
It is a subject which cannot be en
tered into here, but which richly
rewards careful study. Suffice it
to say that while the Holy Spirit
has always been active in the earth,
ho did enter upon a ministry of a
special nature when Jesus had gone
to be with the Father.
The essence of the work of the
Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ (16:
14), and in so doing he convicts the
unbeliever of sin and guides the
believer into all truth. The mark of
a Spirit-filled Christian is that he
permits the Spirit to glorify Christ
in him and in his service for God.
H. A Prayer (17: 14-26).
When one enters the sabred
precincts of John 17 he feels that
he has come into the holy of holies,
and that he would not only loose
the shoes from his feet, but also
stand silent in worship and in
praise. He prayed for me—for me!
Each student of this lesson will
wish to enter fully upon the mean
ing of these words as he re-reads
them, in the illumination of the
Holy Spirit. May I suggest three’
things which Jesus sought for His
children?
I. Consecration (w. 14-16). No
one is Christ’s child without regen
eration, but, sad to say, there are
many children in his blessed house
hold who are not obedient, not spir
itually well and strong. They are in
the world, they rrmst be here, but
alas too many of them want to
be as much like the world as pos
sible. He prayed that we might be
kept from evil, separate from the
world, kept by God even in a world
that hates him and his truth.
2. Sanctification (w. 17-21). This
means to be set apart and cleansed
for God’s service. How is it ac
complished? Through the truth. His
Word is the instrum-ent of sanctifi
cation. Little wonder that there is
little holiness of living when
1257
1202
SO
the Word has so little opportunity
to touch and cleanse the life.
This separated life brings God’s
people into that unity of love—all
in Christ, and he in the Father—all
bound up in that "one great bundle
of love."
3. Glorification (w. 22-26). When
Jesus came into the world in the
flesh he voluntarily laid aside the
glory which was his, and which still
is his, and which he prays that we
may behold. "But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the
glory bf the Lord, are changed into
the same image” (II Cor. 3:18).
Thus in beholding his glory we
also-may enter intb his likeness.
I T WAS some job, Ladies of
The Sewing Circle, to g«t
these three lovelies together lo
pose for the camera this wee^.
They’re under the strict tutelage
of Dame Fashion just now, learn
ing the latest lessons on how to be
well turned out this Spring with
out benefit of a private mint. You
can understand, then, why the
co-ed above, center, sort of jumped
the gun, so to speak, and.was al
ready on her way when the cam
era clicked.
A Frock That Clicks.
Speaking of things clicking,
don’t think that new princess
gown she’s wearing isn’t doing it
in a big way. Can’t you see from
where you’re sitting that it - is
simple to sew besides being a fig
ure-flatterer of the first order?
The buttons half way and a neat
little collar in contrast are all its
lively lines need to complete the
perfect balance—chic vs. simplic
ity. Take a tip from this stylish
student and figure it out for your
self in cashmere or velveteen.
The style is 1202 and it can be
had in sizes 12-20 (30-38). Size
14 requires 4% yards of 39 inch
material plus % yard contrasting.
Go Print for Spring.
The charming young lady above,
left, has chosen to model a very
dainty and rather picturesque lit
tle frock for she believes you’ll
be interested in this style as a
fitting gesture to Springtime. Es
pecially in a modern print, fea
turing, say, pussycats or deep-sea
flowers, would this frock be
tempting. The skirt is bias-cut
for artistic reasons, and the cir
cles of contrast aid and abet its
gracefulness. Let yourself go
print then, come Spring. Style
1257 is designed in sizes 12-20 (30-
40 bust). Size 14 requires 4%
yards of 39 inch material. Elev
en yards of bias binding is re
quired for trimming as pictured.
Gay House or Street Frock.
Lest you begin to think every
day is Sunday for our starring
trio, the trim-looking young lady
above, right, wants you to concen
trate now on her new gingham
gown. Not an ordinary bread-
and-butter cotton version, but a
beautifully cut, carefully planned
dress for general service. The
linked button front is enough to
give it first place on your Spring
sewing list if Sew-Your-Own de
signers know their clients as well
as they think. However, there’s
more to recommend it: a young
becoming collar, a simple yoke-
and-sleeve-in-one construction,
and a slender action-built skirt.
Put them all together they spell
CHIC—that little word with a vast
meaning. Style 1267 is for sizes
MncLe
StUfA:
34-48. Size 36 requires 4 yams
of 35 inch material plus yards
contrasting.

City Versus Country
It cannot escape even a casual
observer that the Bible begins with
a scene in the garden to end in a
city: one may be "nearer God’s
heart in a garden than anywhere
else on earth"—but certainly "the
dwelling-place of God is with men."
Giving and Taking Orders
He who will not accept orders has
no right to give them; he who will
not serve has no right to command;
he who cannot keep silence has no
right to speak.—Hubbard.
Work a Means of Living
Work is what a man turns to
when happiness eludes him; only
a few foolish ones insist that work
is a good substitute for it; even
the austere Emerson said: "Work
is a means of living; but it is not
living."
Carnegie said it was a disgrace
to die rich. It all depends on how
much one has neglected his op
portunities whether it is a dis
grace to die poor.
Men wish the return of their
youth with Qie wisdom they have
since accumulated.
Nobody can be made absolutely
happy except people whose ideals
are not too exacting. 1
If you don’t want to wreck a
man, let him have some belief in
