QUEER FACTS ABOUT RAIN.
One Catches Less Water by Walking
Than Running in a DoWnpour.

One Catches Less Water by Walking
Than Running in a Downpour.
EDO you know" said the observant
citizen, "the habit of running through
the rain is based on a definite fallacy?
1t is common habit. But does it tend
to minimize the amount of water fall
ing on person exposed to the rain?
l am convinced that it rather aggra-
Yates the situation. BY experience, in
passing the distance of block, run
ming one time and walking the other,
and at times when the rainfall was
about the same, I found that my
clothes picked up more water and
were consequently damper when GOV.
cred the distance in a run than they
were when walked.
There seems to be a good reason
for the rather curious fact. Rain falls
irregularly. Sometimes there is q
space of five or six inches between
the falling drops, as we have noticed
on smooth surfaces, like stone flag
ging, and again only the fraction OF
an inch will separate the drops. Water
occasionally falls in sheets, but this
is not usual. But while the fall is If.
regular, considered with respect to the
perpendicular lines described in the
descent, looking straight ahead and
through the lines we will find before
us a sheet of water that is well-nigh
solid. We can understand that run.
ming against this sheet of water will
have very much the same effect wind
would have if it's direction forced the
rain into our faces. We simply pick
up the water and the fact that the
spaces between the drops, perpendic,
ularly considered, are greater than the
spaces in any given direction horizon.
tally will explain to us the fallacy q
the whole thing"

least of all the face, OF my lady" who
graces the table With her presence and
enlivens the guests with her conversa-
ton.
After having arranged the menu,
even down to the most minute detail,
the table and its decoration come in
for consideration. When the food is
served from side-table the decora-
tons may. of course be on a much
more extensive scale than when it is
served at table. In the latter instance,
good taste sanctions only centre
piece of fruit or flowers. Otherwise
the table will present an overloaded
appearance.
Decorative linens in delicate tones Of
yellow, blue, pink, mauve and green
done in some color which produces Il
pleasing contrast are the latest inno-
walton in the way of doilies and centre
pieces. Though not popular with those
who argue that dinner ia bic should
be dressed only in White, the effect
of this passing fancy is quite charming
a low glass bowl of yellow and pink
chrysanthemums, standing on square
of buff linen embroidered in salmon
pink, would certainly be pleasing
novelty for Thanksgiving centre
piece.
Fresh fruit used for decorative pur-
poses is always in good taste, and is
peculiarly appropriate at this season.
1t also permits of much display of
artistic taste in it's arrangement. In
this instance. only homegrown fruit
should be used. as that imported from
the tropics would hardly be in keep
