TO ANNOUNCE
ENGAGEMENT
Mrs, Cornelius BeecIKmlan-

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- When sending engagement
announcements, 1t is proper and
necessary to send to the fiance's
married sister and brothers or
only to friends and relatives?
Al READER.
TT is not good form or good
taste to send formal engraved
engagement announcements. But
IL they are sent, they should, !
suppose, be sent to the people to
whom such q formal announce
ment would be appropriate.
The correct way to announce
an engagement is for the bride
to-be to write personal notes to
her friends and tell them in this
charmingly informal way the
happy news. Then a day or SO
later, the mother and father of
the bride. may, IL they wish, in
sert in the newspapers the formal
notice of the engagement. The
notes are really all that is neces-
sary-the news win spread fast
enough. The formal notice in the
newspaper is in good form and is
customary. but not necessary. An
nouncement parties are delight
full and festive. but by no means
necessary. Engraved announce
ments are not in good taste, and
are not done in good society.
That, think, includes all the
items for engagement announce
ments.

answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.)

MIRACLE OF PRISM
By Garrett I. SerViss

Noted Astronomer and Writer on
Scientific Topics Of Popular
Interest
THINGS that we have known
n 30 long that we have put
them in a back closet of the
memory sometimes suddenly
spring forth in a guise of aston
fishing and delightful novelty.
Thus, not long ago, laid glass
prism on the middle bar Of win
dow fronting southeast.
On sitting down at my desk
the next morning ! saw a most
beautiful spectrum of sunlight
cast from the prism, across the
room, and illuminating with q
glory of brilliant colors a small
portrait of Samuel Taylor Cole
ridge over a bookcase on the
western wall. His short John
Bull side whiskers were painted
a crimson that fairly cried aloud,
while his nose was delicious
blue.
Slowly yet visibly the rainbow
band moved downward and cross
wise on the wall, in proportion
as the sun rose higher and swung
southwark in the sky. In an hour
1t had carried its splendor across
the backs of the books, and was
cleaning on the polished surface,
and lending its hues to the stars
of a celestial globe.
While was bending over my
work 1t next surprised me by en-
countering, athwart my nose, the
beveled edges of my reading
glasses. 1t fitted my eyes until
they seemed to overflow with
violet light so exquisite that no
words could describe it. / simply
sat and took 1t in, slightly moving
my head to keep the spectrum
In place.

Here was an old thing, merely
a Newtonian spectrum, which
because Of novel circumstances
seemed to have had a new and
more splendid birth. Never had

of white sunlight into a ribbon

|Trap-DOOr Spider

nNE of the most interesting and
" ingenious of spiders is the
trap-door species.
1t is a hairy, black species Of
powerful frame that constructs a
burrow for its nest. This burrow
is in clay and consists of deep
tube, lined with silk. Into the
top of this tube a perfectly fitted
hinged door is set. So neatly is it
adjusted that when shut, no JOINT
or crack may be detected lfGm
the outside. When frightened, the
spider runs into it's tube, closing
the door behind it. In some cases
a side tube is also constructed
with a door as neatly fitted as
the first.

a scientific record of this famous
"red snow" that had been re-
ported from various places.

PLOWMANS TO GO

Take Maps

Mr.. and Mrs. B. B. Plowman
and son George will leave We'd
nesday for a months tour of tine

relatives. The Plowmans made
their home at Minot, N. D., before
coming to Kennewick six years ago
and as this is their first trip back
home they are looking forward TO
it with great interest.
Mr.. Plowman states that they
will use tourist parks on the whole
trip, and that he is going to take
5000 of the Commercial club road
maps and try to direct tourists
this way. He believes the tourist
parks great place to spread in
formation and is sure going to ad-
