RAIN PRODUCES
By Garrett P. Seryiss

downpour. Porta, italian scient-
list, reports the seeing Of this very
phenomenon. which IS so sudden
and surprising that an observer
who did not pay close attentions
to all details might well believe
that the little animals had come
down with the rain. Naturallsts
also know that toads. all kinds OF
which breed in water, often hatch
out in many broods simultaneous

their appearance. hopping over

sects occasionally reported, are
the blood rains" that in former
times caused widespread terror.
and which when witnessed even
in these days awaken supersti-
GUS dread. European annals are
full Of stories Of these rains. and
it has been alleged that formerly
they were sometimes utilized by
either ignorant or unScrupulous
persons to excite religious fears
and zeal.
These startling phenomena are
unQuestionably due to the pres
ence in the atmosphere of colored
dust, volcanic ash, pollen OF
plants and other powdery impuri-
ties, which have been uplifted and
widely distributed by the winds,
and being dissolved in raindrops
often produce a close imitation OF
the color OF blood. Stories of
them are as ancient as the times
of Homer. In Italy, where such
phenomena have been often re-
ported, it is related that supersti
tious persons sometimes cast
aside in horror garments that
have been spotted by bloody
rain" Yet. from early times many
thoughtful and observant persons
were aware of the causes of the
deceptive appearance Of such
rains. Thus in 1744, the year of
1.-The six-tailed comet" there was
great excitement over blood
rain at Genoa, but it was soon
found that the water had been
colored by clouds of red dust that
had been blown from one OF the
mountainous heights oyer the
city. Red or yellowish dust
raised by whirlwinds from rain
less deserts and carried afar by
air currents has often served to
stain rainfalls in lands hundreds
of miles distant.
Many of these old beliefs live
over into more enlightened times,
partly because there Is in human
nature an inborn cult of the mys'
terious, which induces even edu.
Gated people to find pleasure in
giving at least a temporary pref.
erence to q mystical power. over

uncommon phenomenon.

SERVING THE
GUESTS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckrnan
nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

hEAR Mrs. bEEChMAN'
~ Please tell me the correct
manner in which guests should
be served. Should a waiter or
maid serve his or her hostess
first, or should he start at either
side of the hostess? Is the same
manner adopted in a private
home as at a hotel or club
house? If a hostess herself Is
serving whom would she serve
first? / have seen several diff
ferent methods followed and am
wondering which is correct.
G. D. F.
Yes, nowadays you will see all
kinds OF procedures in serv-
ing, and any one Is correct.
That is, the hostess decides
which order Of serving she pre-
fers in her own home, and her
decision makes 1t correct. For.
merly the hostess was always
served first, but those were in
the days when there was a good
reason for this. Foods were
then often served In such ornate
and complicated forms that the
hostess served herself first SO
that the guests might observe
how the dish was to be regarded.
But now that foods are more
simple and simply served, this
is not necessary, and many
hostesses consider that they are
comforting an honor Of precedence
IL they have the guests OF honor
served first.
If the hostess herself serves,
she can show honor to her
guests by serving them in the
order OF their age or distinction.
AS she passes the late or has
the plate passed by the maid,
she should indicate for whom the
service is, by saying, This is
for Mrs. Allen" or This is for
you. Will you keep this plate"
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ 1. Does a bride necessarily
have to have a maid of honor?
If so, is it also necessary to have
two bridesmaids?
Q. Would like to have two
nieces in the wedding procession,
one being three years old. Could
you suggest where to place them?
Mac.
No, it is not necessary for a
bride to have any attendants.
It is entirely a matter Of her
choice.
2. You might have them walk
together just before the bride.
II you will send me an addressed
envelope, shall be happy to
send you my pamphlets outlining
