ETIQUETTE
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

MY dear Mrs. Beeclman:
M am going to ask your
advice on question which has
never been asked before.
/ am to be married very soon
and will have several attendants.
I think the bride and maid-of-
honor should sit together on the
back seat of the motor while the
bridegroom and best man sit on
the side seats going from the
church. A friend says the bride
and groom should be togethaT on
the back seat, while the two at
tendants sit on the side seats. My
argument is that the girls step in
first, so they sit in the back
seat, and also that side seats
are the least comfortable, 50 the
gentlemen would naturally sit on
them. It is q small matter. but
I wish to have everything cor
rect.
A DOCTORS SWEETHEART
If there is any choice between
comfortable seats and uncomforta-
BILE seats, the two gentlemef
would naturally give the comfort
able seats to the ladies. No gem
tleman, even in the exalted min.
utes after his wedding, wauli
allow a lady to sit in, for in
stance, the small seats that ''let
down" from the front, or III
any other seat that was not the
most comfortable one.

MOON MEASURE
By Garrett P. Serviss

apart on the earth IL the sum Of
their ATTITUDES. or the known
angle c at the earth's center.
But in the triangle Abe the
sides A-C and BIC are equal and
known, since they are radh Of
the earth. Therefore, by simple
trigonometry, the length Of the
line Alb can be calculated. But
that being known, the whole
triangle A-M-B IL also KNOWN for
the two angles NAB and MIA
can now be calculated.
Then, taking either the triangle
MAC, or the triangle M.B-C,
the length Of the dotted line join
ing the centers Of the earth and
the moon is really calculated,
since we now know two sides and
the included angle of either OF
these triangles.
Because trigonometrical calcu-
lations follow the preliminary
measurement Of the angles at A
and B, you must not suppose
that any uncertainty is thereby
introduced. The results will be
just as accurate as the accuracy
OF the measurements permits;
mathematics tell the exact truth
II 1t has exact data to work with.
But to satisfy yourself that the
method Is correct you may dis
card all calculations and simply
measure on the drawing the
length OF the line from the cen.
ter Of the moon to that of the
earth. The result will substan-
TALLY agree with that attained
by calculation. In our drawing
1t happens that the distance of
the moon is only 1.9 times the
diameter Of the circle represent
ing the earth. The real dis.
lance IL 30 times, so that as
shown the moon Is 1878 times
too near. Calling the earth's di.
ameter in the drawing 5000
miles. the distance of the moon
would be 1920 miles. But If the
center of the moon were put
1878 times as far away on the
drawing, the circle representing
the earth remaining unchanged,
the moons represented distance
would be 239,S56 miles-very close
to the actual fact. The angle at
NJ would become proportionately
small.

US after the game Is over, It's
a pretty fair cinch that we're
going to play this deal through
bllndfolded. And it's up to each
man TO decide for himself whether
he's playing 1t with a free hand
or whether Fate reaches over his
shoulder and picks the card.
As for me, I think there is a
map Of life. But / think that
we are partners with Fate In
plotting that map.
I think there is q Power which
gave us life-part of its own In
finite life-and made Us part OF
a great plan. I think that
everything that has been or will
be is known to that Power. BY
known" ! do not mean that 1t
is known as we know things with
our little minds. We can have no
conception of what sort OF a
mtad could have set universes
wheeling through their frames of
stars, and yet penciled the enamel
on a lady bugs wing. But the
One which did the one, did the
other, and kept track of it all.
So / think that the Power has
made us too and kept track OF all
that we are or may do. But
that doesn't imply that the Power
MAKES US do e thing and
doesn't leave us any alternative.
/ think it's a little like this-a
mother knows that her baby will
reach for the red bali. But she
doesn't Make the baby reach for
the red ball. The mothers mind
is wise enough and wide enough
to hold that knowledge Of a
baby's reaction within 1t. But
the baby did its own reaching.
So think we do our own
reaching. And suffer the conse.
