company the bride to church?

fore the ceremony? This ques-
ton is more or less supersti-

of it.
3-Who pays for the flowers?
Al was given surprise

and to show his appreciation my
fiance would like to write a few
words of thanks, but does mot

ATO. This Is not good form.
IN The bride goes to the church
with her father or whoever is to
give her in marriage. The bride
groom goes to church with his
best man.
% have been told that there
is a law in the Jewish religion
that forbids the meeting of the
bride and bridegroom on the day
of the wedding before the cere-
mony. And usually both are SO
busy that there is no time. The
best man goes to the home of
the bridegroom and helps him
to get ready to go to the church.
In the meantime, at the home of
the bride the bride is getting
ready, her family are getting
ready, and the attendants of the
bride are assembling and receiv
ing their bouquets and final in
structions The bride and groom
meet at the head of the aisle.
80 The bridegroom sends the
bridal bouquet to his bride, OF
course, and the bride or her fam
lily usually supply the bouquets
for the attendants of the bride.
Sometimes the groom asks for
this privilege.

bridegroom to do this, since a
shower is for the bride and is in
courtesy to her. However, he

r HAVE several times quoted
in these articles from dis
tinguished men of science-two
or three doctors and at least
one biologist-criticisms OF the
too exclusive, or too dominant,
reign of the laboratory. which
has become in some respects, ir-
ritating to men OF Independent
thought inclined to a broad out
look upon nature. These critics,
of course. do net disparage labor
atory work as such. That would
be absurd. They themselves use
the laboratory, and everybody
knows that a great part of mod.
ern scientific knowledge is born
and nourished in laboratories
and by virtue of laboratory
methods.
But it is alleged that an undue
tendency exists to substitute
pure experimentation for observa-
ton of natural laws and processes
in unrestrained action. And un-
doubtedly it Is possible for eager
experimentalists, in chase of
dawning theory. to stumble out
of the safe road and, abandoning
the ways of nature, get behind
the enclosure of an English
garden" of science, wherein
everything is trained on artificial
lines. BY seeing too minutely
one could miss the meaning of
the universe.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
LABORATORY METHODS
Comment on Article BY Jacques Loeb, a
Typical Laboratorian.

Among those who know what
the theory of evolution is the
account given of Loeb's reason
for rejecting 1t can only cause
q laugh.
Professors of biology might
come bringing him plausible
theories about better and better
fishes, and larger and larger
whales, and schematic diagrams,
showing they said that little
five-toed eohippus had evolved
into the magnificent one-toed
brewery horse of today.
Cold To Histories
"Such tales the professors
might come telling Loeb; stories
these were, yarns they had made
up after studious sincere bend
ings over bits of bones dug up
out of ancient rocks-but all
their histories left him cold. 1t
might, he thought, be anus 'ng
to speculate about monkeys inn
proving gloriously into men, and
he was not above the confecti0n
of sour and grisly humors in
which he told of men reverting
to monkeys. But to be serious
about such stuff? No."
Monkeys improving gloriously
into men," forsooth!
Then read the following: HE
dismissed the whole excitement
about evolution with:
1--WE cannot consider any
theory Of evolution as proved I'M
less it permits us to transform
at desire one species into an
other. and this has not yet been
accomplished.
In other words, Jacques Loeb
would not believe in evolution
unless he could, with the absurd
ly narrow and insufficient re-
sources of his little laboratory,
and with the pitiable moment of
time that a human life embraces,
experimentally make and unmake
species of animals for whose diff
ferentation and development ma
ture, with every imaginable re-
source of time and matter to
draw upon, required hundreds of
thousands and millions of years!
If he could have succeeded the
eyes of evolutionists themselves
would have grown round" with
establishment if not with dark,
enormous glow"
