If they assume the right to seat them
selves. they may be obnoxious to coz
servative pew-holders. This resent
ment may seem Incompatible with
piety on the part of the church mem
bers. but these persons may have IN
vited friends to their pews. and the
presence of strangers coming ahead OF
these would doubtless cause consio-
erable embarrassment later on.
Likewise a Ridiculous displayal OF
new finery comes into the question,
and SO to those who fancy that Easter
Sunday Is only for the display OF nne
millinery. let me say that persons OF
good taste make a point OF rather quiet
church gowns on this day. There
may be something new-indeed. the
moment seems to call for it-but no
hats which obstruct the view OF 9TH
ers are worn. while the general get
up suggests rather a quiet richness
than the latest mode.
In the Episcopal church it is proper
for members to offer the stranger a
prayer book open at the service. and
for the recipient to endeavor to follow
the readings and prayers with the
proper responses. In Catholic
church the stranger must kneel with
all the others with the elevation OF
the host. and likewise try to follow
the rest of the service.
To wait only for the musical part
of the service and rush from the
church Immediately before the collec-
81 vx,,11 1T hfv,v IN, a
scandalized onlooker-the stranger is
too stingy to pay God anything for the
radiant moment that they have en-
joyed. AS to the Easter collection, it
is generally taken up for a church
debt, and as the stranger has drunk
in some of that burdened temples
dearest sweetness why not pay for it
just as he or she would for the the
ater or opera? Don't be mean then
with your tithe when the plate comes
round on Easter Sunday, for if you do
nothing else you will at least pay your
way.
Again, II the stranger has received
dear comfort from the service, it is
quite in the books to write the offici-
ating clergyman a letter of thanks aft
erwards. when. if the charity can be
afforded. it would be the right and
sweet thing to enclose bill comfort
ably big for the good gentleman's
poor. After the service the non-mem-
Der should Immediately leave the
church, for the little while that inter-
venes between the benediction and
the communion service is spent gen.
orally by the devout in prayer, and so
lettering and talking with friends in
the vestibule would be a very great
nuisance.
Concerning any talk and other so
cial interchange, the church is not the
place for it, SO to bow to friends at
a distance or whisper at length to
somebody in the pew even about the
beauty Of the flowers or music is
DETECTION from taste. and conduct
that may call down the reproof OF
some stern and pious old vestryman
who has been looking on.
In fact, church etiquette for Easter
Sunday, where the stranger is con-
cerned, consists chiefly in doing moth
ing which would make you conspicu-
GUS or nuisance to others. For the
rest, little genuine reverence is
something that costs nothing and is
always in keeping with taste; SO IL
this has hitherto been lacking, try
listening with new heart to the tri-
umphant songs of this most joyous
of all Sabbaths

BY Associates Press.

Williams Bay, Wis, May 19.-The
passage of the earth through the tail
pf Halley's comet was delayed a day
In it's schedule, and is believed to be
taking place tonight, although early
observations did not give positive
proof, according to scientists who
gathered at Yerkes observatory here.
The astronomers were bewildered to-
day by a startling apparition across
the face of the sun at noon. The phe-
nomenon is unparalleled in astrono-
mial history. A broad spectrum OF
light, extending across a considerable
distance on each side of the sun chal-
lenged the attention and greatly ex-
cited the vigilant and weary watchers.
Its appearance is attributed to the
comet
Setting at variance all scientific fig-
ures and predictions and dumbfound-
ing the astronomers at Yerkes obser-
vatory here, the tail of Halley's comet
was plainly visible in the east just be-
fore day break today. The. astrono-
mers have no explanation to proffer
for the unprecedented phenomena.
Professors Barnard and Frost de-
clare therefore that the earth has not
passed through the tail of the comet
as has been universally believed.
Both agree that the earth has entered
the comets tail, but are utterly unable
TO explain the condition now prevail
ing, which is without parallel in the
history of astronomy.
