 Don't forget that the family is still with you, especially the men folk They may not be as interested or as enthusiastic as you are on the subject. once heard man re- mark " that good housekeeper should all ways have clean house, not tidy up once a year" He considered 1t an absolutely un- necessary procedure, gotten up for the sole purpose of making man uncomfortable and to stow his belonging away where 1t would take a Sherlock Holmes to find them.
 Don't begin your cleaning until the wealth CT is settled and warm enough to have all windows open
 Don't have the furnace cleaned after you have finished the house The dust and fine ashes which will sift through the flues and registers of q hot air furnace will undo the work of days.
 Don't tear up the whole house at once. Take one room at time so as to avoid as Tar as possible the feeling of discomfort that disordered house always brings.

 might suggest right here that 1t is not all ways we'll to humor your husband or son when he insists upon adding to the already buging closet of old clothes. which he is keeping to wear on that fishing trip he is going to take sometime. They only harbor moths. He may never go fishing at all. and if he does he will want to wear khaki trousers if he Is wise. which he probably is in every way except this mania for saw ing old clothes.
 Go carefully through the closets, trunks. and boxes to see that everything Is free from moths. If one has furs or articles of wear ing apparel to put away that cannot be folded hang in closet the walls of which have been lined with tar moth paper. which can be bought for this purpose. However if the furs are valuable would suggest send ing them to cold storage. Any of the large dry goods stores will take them, store them. and guarantee to return them in good order. Brush each article thoroughly and remove any soil or spots that may appear. as this Is where the moths attack first Wrap moth balls in thin paper and put between the layers of clothing.
 Blankets must be washed before putting away. A good method is to put them to soak for a few hours in luke warm soapy water. Prepare this by allowing a cuprul of soap powder to the tub of water. Dis solve the powder in boiling water and make heavy suds. then add cold water until you have the right temperature soap thorough

Mr.: and Mrs. Geller SuS-
pected While Fleeing from
Frances War Panic
MANY FLED WHILE
IN EVENING COTHES

"Biny" Geller's familiarity with
baseball saved him and Mrs Geller
from an annoying detention in Paris
shortly after the present European
war broke out Mr.. and Mrs. Geller
who arc playing at the Garrick The
atre this week, Mrs. Geller, being
known on the stage as Miss Joseph
inc Davis. happened to be in Paris
during the first two weeks OF Au-
gust, on their way from Australia to
London. They were detained longer
than they expected to be. on account
of an order which had been placed in
Paris by Miss Davis1or gowns, which
she uses in her stage work. Although
some of the gowns we're not finished,
on August Is, fearing that transpor-
tation out OF the country might soon
become more difficult than II was,
they took the gowns, finished and un-
finished. and we're successful in get
ting away on the last unrestricted
train that left Paris, WHICH was a late
train that night.
Some person had made the discov-
cry that Miss Davis occasionally
spoke German, and she and her hus-
band were drawn out of the line by
French soldiers, who accused them
of being German spies. They pro-
tested that they were American citi-
zens, but II was not until they had
gone to the American embassy and
Mr.. Gellcr had convinced the author
tiles, through his knowledge of the
American national game, that they
were Americans that they were per-
mitted to proceed. On the train with
them were hundreds of persons in
evening dress. who had learned that
that was to be the last unrestricted
train and we're taking no chances
about getting away. They had come
direct from the theatres and clubs
not taking time to go TO their hotels
and change their clothes and gel
their belongings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geller we're in Lon
don during the early days of the wa
excitement, and they took many pho
tographs of scenes on the streets oc
casioned by the war excitement. Th
Gellers had the misfortune. however
] to have some valuables seized as wa
prizes. While in Calcutta, on tn
25th OF June, they ordered shippe
some valuable trinkets, which wer
to be sent to Mrs. Geller's mother, II
Brooklyn, n. Y, but they did not ge
away until the 25th of July. and tn
boat on which they we're shipped, fly
ing the German flag, was seized b.
the British as a war prize.
Their return to the United State
| the latter part of September marked
the completion of a world tour. whicl
lasted three years, and which the.
expect to duplicate, starting in 1915
They have very pleasant recollec
tions of not only the cities on tn
continent, but also of the cities il
Australia, Indian Ceylon and Soutl
Africa, where they made man
friends. They have a most interest

gathered from all quarters OF III

NEWARK. Dee Dec. Physical
Director William J. McAvOy. has ar
ranged to have eight events for the
annual indoor meet between the Del
aware College Freshmen and Sopho-
morcs 10 be held in the gymnasium
on the evening of December IS. This
Is always one of the feature athletic
events of the year from the stand
point of the student body and the
meet attracts a large crowd.
The events will be heavyweight.
middleweight and lightweight box
ing heavyweight midleweight and
lightweight wrestling; tug-of-war, of
three minutes duration with seven
men on each side and running high
jump. Some of the prospective con-
testants have been getting in shape
for the meet by doing light work in
the gymnasium of afternoons.
The annual football game between
the Freshmen and Sophomores will
be played tomorrow afternoon in
stead of this afternoon as was pre-
viously announced.
Coach McAvoy will probably ar
range this season to have the class
basketball games played before the
Christmas holidays instead of after
the schedule has been played out as
has been the custom in past years
The reason for this is the fact that
the students will not get as long a
holiday at Christmas as in former
years and the regular basketball
schedule viii not start until about
tho middle of January
Basketball practice. however. will
be started in a few days and the
prospects are that there will be a
large number Of candidates.
