MRS. SUSAN BELL HURT BY
FALL ON THE ICE.
Mrs. Susan Bell, while returning
home from a visit to neighbor,
on Saturday evening last, slipped
on the icy pavement and was Sc
verely hurt in the fall. She was
carried home in an unconscious
condition and medical help called.
An examination showed that
though shock to the system had
been severe and the strain of the
leaders near the hip was painful,
no bones were broken as was fear
ed. Mrs. Bell is now in her 10Th
year, an age that cannot success
fully cope with such violence.
Mrs. Susan Baynard, who fell on
the ice Saturday, spraining her
ankle, has been disabled ever since.
ANNUAL MOVING
Tomorrow is moving day in Del
awares from Dover down, and for
the whole of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland and Virginia. The three
upper hundreds of Kent county
move March 1st, and New Castle
county March 25th. The moving
day in the two lower hundreds of
New Castle county is fast chang
ing from the 25th to the 1st of
March, because in changing resi-
dences with people on this side of
the county line they find the first
of the month for several consider
ations, preferable. There are fire.
quent changes from one of these
sections to the other and the
breaking up of home for a period |
of two or more months often
proves a detriment to the farmer
in the care of his family and t
stock. The first of March would,
because it is about the breaking
up of the winter, be a better time
for the whole Peninsula.

CHRISTMAS DAY-HOW
OBSERVED.

Thursday was a cold crisp, typ

nothing to complain of about the
weather, except some would have
preferred it a little mite" warmer,
but it was almost universally voted
tip-top day, full of good cheer
and inward social warmth. There
were many surprises in the beauti-
full presents that passed from
friend to friend, and especially
those left ostensibly by "Old Kris

LOCAL DEMONSTRATION OF
ELECTRICITY.

DR.. E. M. Cloak has been test
ing the practicability of the Bun
sen system of electricity in pro-
ducing an electric light in his
store. He has four sells Quart
jars) which are connected by wire
and charged with the proper acids
for generating in small way
what is done on a larger scale by
the force generated by steam pow
er. 1t is claimed that four cells
thus constructed will give a light
equal to sixteen candles, but if SO
it must be by skillful hands with
the best adjustment. The practi-
cal use of electricity is yet in its
infancy. AS an illuminator il
stands at the head of the list, and
when used in sufficient quantity
can be made to virtually turn
night into day. Whether it can be
made the practical servant to man
that steam has is a question yet tc
be solved. The combinations OF
wealth where the business is con-
trolled by a very few men who holc
hundreds and thousands virtually
as their servants is one of the
growing features of our moderr
civilization that must create dis
content if not rebellion, and if ;
way out of it is to- come through
the new and mighty force of elec
tricity, then it may be hailed a
that power and potency" that i
more than by all other means t
give mankind an equality of oppor

Muddy Complexion

Muddy Complexion
Dear Miss Shelby:
am troubled with a muddy
complexion. The pores of my
nose and those underneath the
eyes are large. Kindly advise
me as to the quickest and best
way of clearing my complexion.
Sincerely, MARY ANN.
Dear Mary Ann:
A muddy complexion nearly
always indicates sluggish circu-
lation. Increased circulation is
one of the best ways to clear
clogged pores. And, as the COM
plexion may be said to reflect
the condition of the digestive
tract, the cause of a rough, dull
or blemished skin is almost al
ways digestive trouble or consti-
patton.
Try to get out of doors every
day. Eat raw fruits and leafy
vegetables. Drink at least eight
glasses of water every day. Eat
freely of the citrus fruits. Take
the juice of a lemon in a glass
OF water in the morning every
day.
Keep the skin clean with
cleansing cream, soap and wa
ter and, to close the pores, cold
water and mild aStringent To-
tions. Once a week a honey
and meal pack helps refine the
pores.
Mix about three tablespoon
fuls of corn or almond meal
with three tablespoonfuls of
honey and enough rose water
or witch hazel to make a paste.
Add one teaSpoonful peroxide
and 10 drops OF simple tincture
of benZoin. Cleanse skin with
cream. Apply a hot towel to
open the pores, spread on pack
and allow to dry. Remove pack
with a towel and tepid water,
then apply mild astringent.

as the precious water found
there. So valuable are the trees
considered, in northern Africa,
that they pass as wealth from
father to son, and are some
times given as doWry for a
bride. Social and financial po-
sition are reckoned from the
number of date palms owned
by an individual.
The tree begins bearing fruit
when only seven years old, and
will continue bearing for 200
years. A single tree gives from
eight to 10 punches season,
and, to be truly appreciated,
the fruit should be gathered
ripe, and eaten Immediately.
Dates are a wonderful energy
food, and being so easily packed
and carried, have long been
standard equipment for desert
travellers. Also the date stones
may be ground up, and fed as a
good nourishing food to camels.
There are many delicious
ways in which to use the dried
dates that we find everywhere
here on the market, and thus
they become a welcome and
healthful, addition to our diet.
Certainly, throughout the cen
turies they have had ample time
to prove their worth as a food,
and we are indeed fortunate
that we may so easily benefit
thereby.

The Rhyming
Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELIS

By ALINE MICHAELIS
Bravery
Two kinds of valiant folks there
are,
And which is stronger who can
know,
The gallant lad who goes to
war,
The fearless maid who bids him
go?
o. bravery is a stirring thing
When banners, drums and
marching feet
Go past while patriots voices
sing
Along the crowded street!
But bravery can be lonely, too,
Within a quiet house some
where,
When tasks have dwindled to a
few
And silence weights the air.
Which is the braver, who can
say,
The smiling soldier or the lass
Who by his hearth alone must
stay
And hear the eager 1egions
pass?

Adds
Delight to
Bath
By JULIET SHELBY

1t is interesting to note that
a good many of the Hollywood
stars prefer using a perfumed
eau de cologne rather than a pr.
fume for daytime fragrance.
Several girls admit that they
literally splash it all over their
bodies after a shower or a tub
and that they adore the clean,
fresh, invigorated feeling it
gives them.
And more and more women
of taste are asking for ensem-
bled cosmetics and bath aids.
That is, they prefer using pro-
ducts that have the same fra.
GRANGE.
A daytime fragrance should
be lighter and fresher than a
night fragrance-albeit just as
lasting-and one nice way of
obtaining it is to use, after
bathing, a perfumed eau de
cologne followed by a busting
powder. The cologne closes the
pores, and the powder protects
the skin from clothing and per-
Spiration. However, it should
never be used except after q

Receiving Line

hCCClVIHg Lille
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
At a wedding reception where
only the maid of honor and best
man receive with the bridal
couple, in what order do they
stand?
Does an usher present each
guest to all four in turn, or
simply to the first in line who
catches the name and relays it
to the second in line, allowing
said guest to pass along un-
escorted and the usher a quick
return with the next guest to be
presented? READER.
With this unusual makeup of
the receiving line, the groom
might stand first, then the
bride, then the maid of honor,
and then the best man. Usu-
ally the parents are in the re-
ceiving line, and the best man
is not.
If the usher is presenting the
guest, he would make the pres
entation only to the one first
in the line, and this person
would make the following intro
ductions or presentations.

The dish-rag shirts that you
saw around last summer will be
as popular as ever, and in addi-
ton, they will be striped and
variously colored. They will be
worn with odd slacks, and men
who go in for careful dress will
match or harmonic their shirts
and slacks with some thought.
AS to materials, wool jerseys,
cotton or wool mesheS, and
acetates will all be seen. There
will be many knitted novelties,
but stitches will be simple
enough so that they will not
attract too much attention to
themselves. Round necks, V
necks, tied necks, plain collars.
in fact all the accepted styles
will be seen, and it's just a
matter of which you prefer.
Some new shirts will button
down the front.
Pattern is good in sports
shirts as well as in daytime and
street types, and you will see
some herringbone designs,
stripes, checks, broken effects,
and many others.

Stacks, which have been much
more popular in Europe than in
America up to the present time,

Wedding Invitations

Dear Mrs. Beckman:
I am planning to have an in
formal wedding at my home.
Only immediate relatives are to
be invited. Having had the
announcement put in the paper,
I wondered if it would be nee
essary to send invitations to my
fiance'S family? If so, how
soon before the wedding? o.
The fact that you published
the announcement of the date
of your wedding in the neWspa-
per does not affect the fact
that an invitation to the we'd
ding must be sent to your
fiance's family.
Indeed, this is the most i'm
portant of your invitations,
since your fiance'S mother and
father are the guests of honor
of your parents at the wedding.
Your mother, therefore, as
hostess, should write a note to
them inviting them to the we'd
ding.

a great deal, but there's an in.
creasing trend toward separate
trunks worn for bathing and
slacks and shirt for the beach.
Some shorts have a bit of full
ness through the hips, but have
been popular only on the Pacific
Coast. Others are as abbreviated
as possible, and show some signs
of being accepted pretty gen.
orally.
Shorts are going to be better
than ever for tennis, undoubt-
edly. They were accepted by the
really good tennis players last
year, and so will be taken up
generally everywhere this mid
