The Stars in Their
Courses^
Kahala to Dressmaking.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J
Marvelous is California, her
ocean biggest in the world, climate
finest, clouds, sky, mountains,
most beautiful. And the profits
on real estate, wisely bought, be
yond the dreams of avarice. And
ihe.v have only just started.
But mountains, sky and ocean
are as nothing compared with the
women. All the cataracts of all
the mountains are feeble imita
tions of her power, when the
woman of California concentrates
on improving her brain.
Take for instance, Mrs. Omni
scia Del, to whom Jack Chapman
presents you in the Montmartre
restaurant at Hollywood. Is her
mind on the movie stars, male and
female, that revolve, wiggle, hop,
twist writhe and roll their eyes
on the dancing floor?
• She does not look at them, but
tells you, slowly, starting with the
pickled shrimps, and winding up
with the coffee, what “courses”
she is taking and has taken.
She is taking a course in
astrology now, but first she took
a course in geology. Geology is
necessary, it seems, if you want to
made a success of astrology.
She was led to astrology by
Rosicrucianism. She continues the
course in Rosicrucianism and its
philosophy with her other courses.
"Rosicrusius was a German, you
know, his real name was Rosen
krans, but I am sure we have all
forgotten our anti-German war
prejudice by now. Rosicrucius
means ‘rosy cross.’ Pretty, isn’t
it?”
"You don't beiieve in astrology?
Why, the greatest men in old times
believed in it, and they knew more
than we do.” The lady proceeds
like the stars in their courses.
“I took a course in the I^aw of
the Kabala. That’s very mystic,
you know. The Jews are really a
very clever people when it comes
to thinking. They were terribly
interested in the Kabala after they
began to get tired 'of their own re
ligion. Well, the course in the
Kabala is quite interesting. It
was started, you know, by Pytha
goras, but he wasn't a Jew; he
was a Greek.
“Theosophy? Why, yes, of
course. I have taken any number
of courses in theosophy, fWd I
couldn’t begin to tell you how
many Swamis I have listened to.
In fact, I am writing a play about
one of them now. But he falls in
love with an American girl and
that takes a good deal of the
esoteric simplicity and sweetness
out of him.
“You have to study theosophy
hefore you can study Rosicrusian
ism. Theosophy leads to Rosicru
cius, you know.
“Some of these course* will
seem to you, perhaps, unnecessary
for a woman, especially as women
are not supposed to know as much
as you men know. But I want
you to understand that I have
taken a course in dressmaking,
too.
“Then, of course, you want to
protect yourself, and for that you
need a course in elementals.
“Don't you even know what
elemental* are? Why, they are
••arthbound spirits. The air is
charged with them, especially
around slaughter house#, grave
yards and cabarets. This room is
just full of elementals now, but I
know how to protect myself
against them. You simply put
your mind on higher things; that
disgusts them and they never come
nea^r you.'1
While you marvel at the intelli
gence of these elemental*, realiz
ing their limitations and keeping
dear of the Kabala. Rosicrucius,
Pythogoras and Madame Blavet
sky, you learn that the California
young woman produces, and does
not merely absorb.
She did take all those courses,
but only to find out how foolish
human beings can be and on what
strange follies they waste their
energies. Having taken all the
courses, she is writing a play in
which a young people rebel against
modem follies. Swami is cured
of his Swami proclivities by fall
ing in love with an American girl,
and the young people rebelling
against the many "spiritual life”
courses find that their very rebel
lion forces them into it.
By the time you have reached
• the elementals you have left the
Montmartre customers gliding and
squirming far behind you, and are
on the way to the Beach club,
“only thirteen to fourteen miles
down that way.” The;’ think noth
ing in Los Angeles of going 50
miles to dinner. They say "we
want to get used to it, because
when Los Angeles has ten million
population, of course, we shall
have to live rather far apart.”
When you go to the Beach club
they show you casually a piece of
ground that a friend bought, a
little while ago for six or seven
hundred dollars and recently sold
for four hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
The truthful real estate stories
of Los Angeles are calculated to
make the New York or Chicago
real estate dizzy. But real estate,
oceans and all are nothing com
pared with California women.
The lady mentioned, by the
way, is really not named Omniscia
Del. That’s near enough to it.
And she is not what, you might
suppose, a plain blue stocking
from the east. She is a highly
ornamental, willowy product of
the Pacific coast, where her mother
and grandmother were horn. Her
general lines are those of Acacia
»f the west.
Young mnn, take a little money
•—that ia necessary—and go to
California if you want to find
wonderful virtues in real estate,
and still greater values in wives.
