Social Notes

The elaborate entertainments afford
ed by the Masons this week have TAX
en- most Of the time and attention of
the society circles in Fargo. These
events, however, have not had the field
to themselves and there have been
any amount of alumni reunions and
farewell college functions, which have
occupied the time Of the. college sets.
New wedding announcements are COM
ing in every day and the 1913 crop of
June brides will almost equal that of
last year. which was a record breaker.
In fact. at a social gathering the past
week for two young ladies who are to
wed this month, there were six other
engaged young ladies present, which
coincidence promises several pretty
n fall weddings. Dur
ing the past week there were three
weddings of Importance which attract
ed much social interest in Moorhead.

A pretty woman may enhance her
beauty and a plain woman become good
looking by the proper care of her hair.
Nice hair, pretty hair, growing on
the head it adorns, is n Of natures
greatest beatiiers.
The kind of hair which always makes
us look the second time, follows the
use of Newbro's Herpicide, and Is pos
sible for every woman
The results following regular appli-
cations of Newbro's Herpicide are often
wonderful. 1t not only cleans the scalp
entirely of dandruff, but prevents the

l%uxurfance which are so essential to

AS A SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY
Wedding Ring Really Has Signth:
canoe Apart From That to Which
Sentiment Is Attached.

For ages the wedding ring has been
a token Of binding authority. The
gold symbolizes the purity Of affec'
ton; the circle the endless love;
the price paid for it takes the place
of the ancient purchase money. II
the ring Is lost 1t is a warning that
the husbands love will soon pass
away; if broken, that he will die soon.
Tradition has been responsible for
many stories concerning the wedding
ring; one of these is that the first
ring was made by Tubal Cain for
Prometheus. This ring was Of iron
and adamant, the iron signifying last
ingness and the adamant perfect con-
cord. The early Romans commonly
used plain iron ring, while the
poorer English. even in the nine
teenth century, used the ring for the
church keys.
1t has not always been customary
to wear the ring on the third finger
of the left hand, but there is a reason
for this modern convention. Besides
being less used and therefore lesa ex-
posed to danger; and being the weaker
finger and therefore symbolizing the
wife's dependence, the third finger o.
the left hand has been supposed from
the days Of the Egyptians to be con-
nected directly with the heart by a
vein called the "vena amoris." It
was indeed the finger of life, and con-
sequently it is most fitting that the
wedding ring should alorn It,

Terrible PlSoue Was Known az Early

Lcadon.-The terrible ravages chol-
era is making at the present time in
Turkey remind one of many previous
occasions when epidemics have car
ried off thousands at time, says Tit
Bits. AS early as 767 B. c. we read
of a plague. aud again in 453 B. G..
Rome suffered terribly. Athens was
attacked by a pestilence in 430 B. c..
which was believed to have been caus-
ed by their enemies poisoning the wa

so. So many people were killed dur
ing the epidemic which occurred IN
Bri ian during the fifth century that
there were hardly sufficient persons
left to bury the dead. In 772 Chiches-
ter lost $4,000 people, and in 954 Scot
land lost 10000. London was visited
in the 10th and 18th centuries, and
Ireland suffered severely in 1904.
The Oriental plague occurred be-
tween 134S and 1882. 1t was known
as the "Black Plague" on account of
the black spots which appeared on the
skin at death. It started in China in
1893, and the deaths numbered 49,
100000, and 24,c00,0o0 succumbed in
the rest of Asia. 1t appeared in Nor
way and Sweden in 1349 and 1882.
About 100000 fell victims to the
black plague in England, of which 3d.
600 occurred in London alone.
The sweating sickness appeared in
England four times during the 10Th
anG 10th centuries, the first time in
1886, and lasted one month, in which
10000 people died in London alcne.
