The Dunbars were given a surprise
party last Friday evening that was a
surprise. II was Mrs. Dunbar's birth
day, or on the eve of it, as it was
thought best by the instigators of the
event to take time by the forelock, to
make the surprise more complete. The
family went OFT to attend church SER
vices and while absent twenty went to
to the residence, raised one of the win
dows, through which one of the party
crawled to open door and let the crowd
in. She found the front door unlocked,
through which she admitted the assem-
bled friends, and there they tied for
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunbar, and the reader
can imagine their surprise when they
entered the hall to have the light turned
on quickly and found themselves sur
rounded by about twenty, all dressed
in rag tags From the outset there
was fun galore, dancing, cake walks
etc. The rag tags brought along a
sumptuous lunch. The fun lasted until
a late hour.

DOG BARRIERS AT WORK.
Are Kept busy During the season
when Towser is shorn
of ISIS Hair.

This is the season of the year when
the dog gets his annual hair cut.
Some dogs--a great many, in fact
go without hair cut altogether, but
there are hygienie reasons why 9th
ers are subjected to the capillary clip
ping. In the summer some dogs go
to the seashore, where they take up
burden OF sand heas. Then they
scratch, and in scratching make flesh
wounds. Then the dog is taken to a
| veterinary, who takes off the hair, SO
that he may better treat the torn
cuticle. Other dogs, with long, thick
hair, have their hair cut in the sum-
mer for comfort, says the New York
| Times.
There is about the same amount of
pain to the dog in having his hair cut
as there is to the human being under
going similar treatment, but the dog
makes lots more fuss about it. In a
veterinary establishment uptown the
other day French poodle was under
going his yearly tonsorial operation,
and he carried on over it as much as
II he were having a tooth pulled. lie
protested with plaintive howls against
the removal of his coat.
"Ow, ow, owl" he seemed to ex-
claim; sit isn't that this thing hurts.
but it's the indignity Of being held
down and sheared like G sheep that |
object to-"
The hair came off in large, thick sec
tions, and apparently there was
enough of IL to start a mattress fac
tory when the job was finished. It
took the poodle several minutes to re-
alize that 1t was the same dog after
the operation was over. The absence
of weight puzzled him, and he wasn't
sure whether he was dog or half
dog. Also there was an unaccounta-
BILE GOODNESS about the sheared part
of his anatomy. But after two or
three shifts of investigation he shook
himself, whisked his tail and skipped
about as IL satisfied that it was all
right.
"We average about two dog hair
cuts day this time of year" said the
veterinary in whose place the dog re-
ferred TO parted from his shaggy
locks. "What do we do with the hair?
Well, that's funny part of it. There
is a demand for the hair People
come here TO getAit, saying it's good
for rheumatism. ] don't know how
they use it, but ] believe they make
some sort Of covering out OF 1t. Any
way, we find no trouble in disposing
of the hair"

SUMMER SANDWICHES.
Meat of All Kinds, Vegetables and
Nuts Are Used In Their
Composition.

Sandwiches are now served as FASH
onable dish at teas and luncheons. Al
most every variety OF meat or vegeta-
Bile, dressed with every variety of salad
dressing, or without dressing OF any
kind, Is used for sandwiches. Nuts
have been recently used In this way.
A cheap nut sandwich Is made OF the
despised peanut, which Is minced fine
and spread between the most dellcately
thin slices of homemade bread, freed
Of it's crust and dellcately buttered.
English walnuts and pecan nuts may
be used in the same way. The pecan
nut sandwich is especially nice. These
sandwiches should not be reserved for
festive occasions, but should be used
on the everyday table. They are es-
pecially nice served for the summer
supper. Peanuts are known to be quito
nutritious, and IL Is thereforek much
better to have them take the place OF
meat than the cold slices OF vegetables
dressed in mayonnaise and used in the
same way. says the New York Tribune.
A lettuce salad dressed In mayon-
naise is one OF the best OF these sup
per sandwiches. Select very crisp.
beached leaves of lettuce. Dip them in
well-made. well-fayored Inayonnaise
dressing. Log these leaves between thin
slices of homemade bread, cut delicate

Homemade bread made with ''perpet-
ual" yeast is ansespecally delicious
moist bread. With is admirably adapt
ed to sandwiches which require drm
but tender. moist bread. The potato
water used in perpetual yeast seems
to give the same moist texture that
old-fashioned potato bread raised with
a sponge had. II is the cheapest as well
as the best bread For sandwiches use

Minces OF CHICKEN dressed with may

sandwich. So 10 sandwiches which may
be heated a little and served as an
chovy toast. Any cold, delicate meat
sliced in very thin slices and seasoned
with salt. pepper and little piquant
cold dressing Of any kind may be used
in this way. tTherc is room for consid-
cradle agreeable surprise in the
changes and various seasoning which
may be devised in this dish.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
Management on Small Means Is an
Art That should He
Studied.

II is curious TO note the different re-
suits achieved by different women in
the disbursement of their housekeep-
ing and dress allowances, says the De-
troit Free Press. Some women with a
thousand year housekeeping money"
are constantly struggling with debt.
Their weekly bills are never paid up
regularly, but always overlap. and they
are often driven, II they have accommo-
dating friends, to adopt Artemus
Wards advice: Always live within
your income, even If you have to bor-
row money TO DO So"
Others, on half the amount, are never
in debt, and yet their tables are better
supplied, their meals better cooked
their domestic wheels move more easily,
and the word "sordid" is the last one
would apply 10 any of their belongings.
Where is-the explanation 20 be found
Of the undoubted fact that some wom-
en- will produce more with the expendi-
ture Of sixpence than others with shil-
ling?
Is it not that the former take more
pains with their household manage
ment? They do not fall into the delu-
sion that housekeeping comes by ma
ture TO every woman. They recognize
the fact that comfortable household
management on small means is an art
that should be studied. 1t cannot be
picked up haphazare any more than
any other art which produces practical
results, and to obtain the greatest
amount of comfort from the smallest
amoupa of money should be the result
