SIZE OF STARS

"a friend and I have been
arguing about the size of the
stars Betelguese and Rigel, in
the constellation of Orion. My
friend claims Rigel is larger,
and l vice versa Also 1 would
like to know which is the larg-
est star in the heavens. -. s.,
Yonkers.
THERE are three ways of esti-
Il mating the size of a star:
First, by it's visual magnitude, "
i. e., its relative brightness to the
eye; second, by its absolute mag
nitude," /. e.. the brightness it
would have, in comparison with
other stars, If all were at the
same distance; third, by its size
as determined from its measured
angular diameter.
The third method, which de-
ponds upon measurement by the
interferometer, has as yet been
applied to only a few Of the
brighter stars. Betelguese was
the first to be thus measured,
but I am not aware that Rigel,
at the present writing, has yielded
to this process.
The diameter of Betelguese,
when the first measurements We're
made in 1920, was announced as
over 240, 100000 miles, or 800
times the diameter of our sun.
This was subsequently corrected

QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman
Flowers for a Wedding

Flowers for a Wedding
MY DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
M In order to settle a ques-
ton, will you kindly let me know
who pays for the bouquets of the
bridesmaids and the maid of
honor? A says that the groom
should buy these bouquets. B says
that the parents of the bride
should buy them. A also says that
if the. groom does not pay for
them, the ushers and the best man
should pay for them. p.
Let's begin with the wrong
statement. AS last statement,
that the ushers and best man
should have any part in the pay
ment of these bouquets, is thor
oughly incorrect. The ushers and
best man are invited to be atten-
dants of the groom, and are not
to have the doubtful privilege of
sharing the expenses of the wed.
ding!
Usually the parents of the bride
send TIE bouquets to the atten-
dants of their daughter. You see,
the bouquets are part of the we'd
ding picture, and the bride. and
her parents plan them to harmon
ize-first, with the costumes of
the attendants, and also with the
decorations of the church. There
fore, it is natural that they should,
most conveniently. send the bou.
quets, and also. they usually find
great pleasure in paying honor
and compliment in this way to the
friends of their daughter.
Sometimes though not so often,
the groom sends the bouquets to
the attendants of his bride. If he
wishes to take the compliment for
himself and thus compliment his
bride and her attendants, he
should. Of course, talk 1t over with
his bride and find out from her
just what she would send If she
were sending the bouquets.
The groom should always, by
the way, send a bouquet to the
mother Of his bride and to his
moAhaE.
