AN lNFARE DINNER.
e Used to BE an Important Function
For the Newly Wooded. +

Il Used TO BE an Important Function
For the Newly Welded.
Were you ever invited to an infare
dinner? You are familiar with the
"house warming" that Is as likely to
take place in midsummer as any other
season, and IL you are business man
you cannot have escaped the demand
for q floral tribute when some new
firm has embarked in your particular
line of trade or profession.
But the chances are that If you know
anything definite about an infare din
ner you are either too old to care
about discussing 1t or you are or
Scotch or North Of England origin, I'M
less. Of course. you happen to nave
spent most Of your life in Indiana. In
the latter event you learned all about
a charming custom from your mother
or grandmother.
In rural Indiana the old ceremonial
has even yet not gone the way of most
of the ceremonial practices OF our an
cestors, for it is still, observed In a
modified form. However. there Is no
sinister meaning attached to Its omls-
sion. as was the case two generations
ago. - ., -.s.' 81"
In the days Of our grandparents II
the groom's mother failed to invite the
bride to the infare dinner the day fol-
lowing the wedding 1t meant one thing
and one thing only-that she was not
to be regarded as member OF her
husbands family The dinner was
usually more elaborate affair than
the wedding supper at the brides Ia
theirs house the previous evening 1t
was served at high noon and included
the entire bridal party. although In
Scotland the bride was supposed to
leave all her own kindred behind when
she went to eat the dinner cooked by
her .mother-in-law.-St Louis Globe

JAPAN'S W0LFISH DOGS.
Famed For Their Savage Ferocity and

Famed For, Their Savage Feroeity and
:: - Tenaeity Of Grip. - ar
Most of the dogs In Japan are Of ma
tive breed and are quite different from
the dogs in western countries. Like
the Japanese horses. they are smaller.
AS the Japanese have ever been an ag-
ricultural people, hunting dogs were
not known. nor did they have any use
for watch dogs. as they kept neither
flocks nor herds, The Japanese dog.
therefore, is domestic animal. to the
breeding of which no particular atten-
ton was given. thus producing mon
grel type. sgibs cdr
A great many years ago one OF the
shoguns became interested in the
breeding Of dogs. so more care was
given to developing good type.
Many Of the daimyos. thinking that
they would stand in better favor with
the, shotgun. presented him with pres
ents Of anywhere from ten to twenty
dogs. At one time the emperor had
over 5000 at Kamakura.
The average native dog Of Japan has
q savage, wolfish aspect, with nat
head. pointed muzzle and short. erect
ears. with bushy. foxlike tail. They
are bold and obstinate in disposition
and never know when they are beaten.
A Japanese once gave live dog to his
pet tiger as treat. But the animal
realizing the situation before the tiger
did, seized the tiger by the throat and
choked it to death before IT could de-
fend itself. though the dog also died
from its wounds The Japanese dog
is thus far famed for its unexampled
ferocity and tenacity Of grip. some
thing like the western bulldog.-Japan

SUFFRAGETTES CAMPAIGN.

Little Rock. July 1S.--Little Rock suffragette leaders are in great de- mand by their un-enfranchised sisters in the North and East. Misses Ger trude Watkins and Josephine Miller who were prominent in the New York campaign, and in the campaign con ducted at the national conventions in Chicago and St. Louis, have been called to West Virginia to aid in the campaign that is being conducted in that state. It is the first test of strength that has occurred since the national conventions of the two parties went on record in favor of suffrage, and for this reason it is important. Mrs. T. T. Gotham, Ar kansas most eloquent suffrage advo- cate, will join them next month.

Careless Use of
 Soap Spoils the Halr

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsiied cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any: thing else you can use
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily. removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
