NATURES HALO.
By Garrett P. Seryiss

''On Thursday, February 2.
about one-half hour before the
sun went down, there appeared
a beautiful rainbow around the
sun. About three-fourths or more
was visible, the rest was hidden
below the skyline. Beautiful,
balmy day, sunshine and not a
drop of rain. have never heard
of such a thing happening before.
How do you explain it?--A. L.,
Chicago.
IT was not a rainbow that you
i saw, but a halo, which is quite
different thing. A rainbow al.
ways appears in the part Of the
sky opposite to the sun. II never
surrounds the sun, as a halo does.
1t Is caused by the refraction of
the sunlight in the drops of
water of a retreating shower. |,
e., a shower that is moving away
from the observer, while the sun
is behind him. The waves of
different colors that make up A
beam of sunlight are unequaIIy
refracted (bent from their coursel
by the water, and thus the col
ors are separated. They are then
reflected from the mirror-like in.
ner surface at the back of the
drops and so sent toward the OBJ
server. BY combination of such
reflections from myriads of drops
the rainbow is built up. 1t ap.

grees for the red and about forty
degrees for the violet. So the
outer border Of the rainbow is
red and the inner violet.
Halo Complicated
The halo is more complicated
phenomenon, seen encircling the
sun and sometimes the moon.
There are two principal cases Of
halo-the 22-degree halo and the
4o-ueBree halo. They have not the
brilliant colors Of the rainbow,
but often show reddish hue on
the inner side. The 22-degree halo
Is also called ''the white halo"
They are ascribed to refraction
and reflection of light from clouds
Of small ice crystals, often exist

Connected with haloes are the

TUE modern girl is reverting to

Beneath all her lightness, flip.

She is sick of sex-and all the
talk about sex!
She is weary of indiscriminate
petting, maudlin kisses and Freu.

She is tired of being the object
OF mems idle amusement. She is
tired of seeing the same look in

She may like her job and enjoy
her freedom; but what she wants

Is a HOME. with kitchen and a
pantry and an attic and laundry
and a lot of cupboards and closets,

What she wants is a wedding.

What she wants is q chance to

towels, sew on buttons, polish a
rosewood piano, and dig around q

QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman.
The Walters Mistake
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ VIII you please settle the

N
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ VIII you please settle the
following argument:
A says when a lady is at a
restaurant with a gentleman, she
should give her order to him.
but B says she should give her
order to the waiter. Which is
correct? PUZZLED.
A is distinctly correct. The
gentleman is the lady's host and,
as at home dinner she would
indicate her wishes to the host,
say, II ne were serving, SO in the
restaurant, she should acknowl.
edge the gentleman's hostship by
giving her order to him.
BY the way, have you noticed
the expression on the face OF a
gentleman who is being a host at
dinner-that is, gentleman who
knows what's what-when the
woman with him gives her order
directly to the waiter? Such a
thoughtless faux pas on the part
of a woman does not particularly
please a gentleman who has
ideals about how a lady should
accept hospitality.
In a perfectly-managed restau-
rant eand I admit that this is a
difficult thing to find, a woman
would not be given an OBJ
portunity Of giving her order to
the waiter, for the waiter would
be thoroughly trained to receive
his orders from the gentleman,
and he would direct his attention
to the gentleman and receive
them.
Also, if the gentleman who is
being the host is sufficiently
masterful, and if ne knows exact.
ly how to control the giving Of
the order, this giving Of her order
to the waiter would not happen,
for the gentleman would take
the reins in his own hands, and
would see that the waiter directed
his attention to him for the orders
of both. 1t is a matter between
the host and the waiter, and the
lady should give her order to the
host. II all women realized this
and IL all men were masterful
hosts, walters would not acquire
their slipshod and undisciplined
manner of looking to a woman
for her order.
