On Introducing People.

On Introducing People.
Tact and common sense must often
decide the question Of the necessity Tor
Introducing people and the propriety OF
not doing 90. A hostess has privileges
about introducing her guests, - she 10
not supposed TO bring together people
who do not Wish 10 meet each other.
A hostess, however. needs discretion
and should have positive knowledge
about conditions In general society,
otherwise she may make mistakef. A
hostess need not consult her guests about
introductions and guest cannot decline
an Introduction BY . hostess. Even II
enemies are introduced they cannot lot
their hostess see her error.
A hostess has the privilege of intro.
ducing young men to young girls Ut any
tea. or reception, or dance, or other en-
tertainment In her house, without ask.
iug permission. Her object ID to give
pleasure and her expectation 10 that the
young men should show some politeness
10 those to whom she Introduces them,
either by asking them to dance. or talk.
ing with them.
The general rule about an introduction
which Is premeditated 10 to consult the
wishes of both persons. The received
rule is that man should not DO intro
duced to . woman unless her consent
has been asked. Thus she has the
option of declining, II there are good
reasons for doing so, although there arc
few occasions when request OF the sort
Is refused.
A mother always introduces her
daughter or son, . wife her husband, or
q husband his wife without asking per-
mission.
When introducing two women tho
younger is introduced to tho elder, a.
though no distinction 10 made II they are
about the same age. Young girls are
intro uced to married women. A mar
ried woman. or an older woman may
offer to shake hands with girl who Is
introduced to her, but girl must not
make the advance.
When visitors are calling simulta-
neously a hostess should not forget to
make introductions. If she should fail
to do this tho callers should join In the
general conversation, or may make few
remarks to each other. This does not
involve further acquaintance. unless 1t 10
desired by the persons themselves, and
ii is good manners to relieve what would
otherwise be an awkward moment.
The rule without exception 10 that .
man Is introduced to . woman, never
the reverse. The simplest forms of In
PRODUCTION are best. One may say, "Miss
b., allow me to introduce Mr.. c." Free
quently 1t helps conversation to say,
"Mr. C. has just returned from trip to
California" or something which may
start an easy flow Of talk.
A positive rule 10 that after having
been introduced to woman man must
wait for her to recognize and bow to him
at the next meeting before venturing to
claim her ~ an acquaintance. 1t 10
polite for her to bow even II she does
not care to keep up more than bowling
acquaintance In future.
A woman does not rise when man 10
introduced to her, nor does she shake
hands, but, II she ls seated and lady 10
brought up to her for an introduction,
she should riae and shake hands.

EARTHQUAKES.
oausss That conspirs to Rsnd The
esrth's Crust Asundsr.

Causes rhat conspirs to Rsnd the
Esrth's Crust Asundsr.
Until recently all earthquake shocks
were attributed to volcanic manifesto
lions. But often the earth Ii agitated
In regions where there are no vol.
canoes. Hence the belief has arisen
that earthquakes may arise independ.
emily Of volcanic action. Very often.
again, when volcanoes are in eruption
there are NO earthquakes.
Subterranean cave-ins are often the
cause Of earthquakes. They are the con-
sequences Of the action Of subterranean
water. When water runs through lime
stone 1t carves out grottOes ard ter.
races or galleries. When in its under
ground run 1t comes in contact with
gypsum or rock salt 1t dissolves these
substances, and thus vacuums are FORM
ed in the depths Of the earth. When
the water has worn the earth thin the
earth gives way, and the subterranean
cave-in shakes the regions above 1t. In
well worked coal mines great hollows
are made which produce similar re-
suits.
The layers forming the solid en-.
velope Of the earth are neither homo.
geneous nor regularly distributed
Limestone hits granite, and relatively
recent rocks overlie ancient masses.
Limestone and schist lie together like
folded cloth. Layers Of the same age
are separated by abrupt gaps and
breaks by the debris cast out on either
side.
The crust Of the earth has been com
pared to marquetry composed Of many
parts which must have been Joined
broken and Joined again many times
Its component parts are unstable; their
movements are still in progress; they
shift, and possibly their sudden shift
ing causes the upper crust to tremble.
The best evidence in favor OF this e1
PLANTATION IL that the great earthquakes
have devastated countries where the
geological layers show traces OF cave
ins and slips. In Japan an earthquake
raised the ground about twenty-one
feet. and the rise ran for distance OF
l12 kilometers. An earthquake IN
Alaska occurring In 1890 raised the
coast for Il long distance. Earthquakes
are limited to two zones. One embraces
Himalaya, Asia Minor, the coasts OF
the Adriatic. Italy. the Alps. the Pyre
nees, Algeria. Andalusia and southern
Portugal; the other zone comprises the
two coasts Of the Pacific ocean. The
majority Of earthquakes have been pro
duced In the first zone.-Harpers
