They Ve So Convenient *TEA BAGS Pride and Piejudice Adapted fro(u the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture by GERTRUDE GELBIN Copyright 1940 by Loow'.j Inc. English Cloth From Peanuts CHAPTER n As they sat down, out of sight, Darcy moved into view and lounged diaconsolacely against the wall. The dance over. Bingli'y joined him. "Come, Darcy," he remarked. "I hate to see you stallcing about by yourself in thij stupii way. Why don't you dance? The* pla>'e is full of pretty girls." Elizabeth and Charlotte, hid- den in the alcove, but completely within hearing of the conversa- tion, exchanged glances. "I've only seen one â€" and you've monopolized her," Darcy replied. "Isn't Miss Jane lovely!" Bin;r- ley said happily. "But there's that sister of hers â€" Miss Eliz- abeth. They say she lias a lively wit." "A provincial young lady with a lively wit!" Darcy exclaimed. '•Heaven preserve us! And that mother of hers â€" " "It's not the mother you have to dance with, Darcy," Bingley interrupted. "It's the daughter. She's charming." "Oh, I admit she's tolerable enough â€" considering the cla-^s she comes from." Darcy shrug- ged as they started to move away. "But I'm in no humor fol- low life this evening." Elizabeth rose from her chair and peered out after them. "Well â€" what a charming man!" She sec her mouth angrily and fan- ned herself to cool her tempe)-. "You mustn't be offended, Lizzy," Charlotte consoled. "He didn't know you could hear." "What difference does that make?" demanded Elizabeth furi- ously. "It's not ray hearing that matters â€" it's the fact that he said it! The complacent, self- satisfied arrogance of the man! Oh. it makes me so angry!" A young man advanced and claimed Charlotte for the next dance. Elizabeth took a seat alor-ij' the wall. In another moment, Sir- William approached with Mr. Darcy. "I Beg To Be Excuted" "Miss Elizabeth," beamed Sir William, "may I have the honor to present Mr. Darcy? He is eajr- er to invite you to dance." Darcy smiled'at her. "Now that you have been forwarned of my eagerness to dance with you, may I hope you will do me the honor." Elizabeth smiled back cooiy. "I'm afraid the honor of stand- ing up with you is more than I could bear, Mr. Darcy. Pray ex- cuse me." He stared at her in amaze- ment. "Are you saying you don't caro to dance with me, Mis.s Ben- net?" Elizabeth'.s smile gave way to stony pride. "I'm begging to bo excused, sir." "It's my loss. I'm sure." he an- swered coldly. "You perhaps know best about that, sir," wa.t her calm rejoiner. At that moment, Mr. Wickman, Lydia's officer, appeared. Ho greeted Elizabeth, then turned to Paiov with smiling good humor.

"JMr. Darcy and I have met before," Wickham said casually. Darcy, making no movement of salutation toward Wickham, bow- ed stiffly to Elizabeth and walk- ed away. •The Man'. Mad" She stared after him, astonish- ed and incensed by his manner. ••The man must be mad," she said. "Mad?" Wickham smiled. "You're too charitable, Miss Eliz- abeth. If you were better ac- (juainted with him, you would see another man." "Have you known him a long time?'' she asked in amazement. "Since childhood. But, as you .saw, we're not on friendly terms. You see â€" well â€" my fathev was steward of the Darcy es- tates." Elizabeth blushed for Darcy's -snobbish pride. "Without know- ing anything more, I'm on your side," she cried. Jane, meanwhile, was glowing with the delight of being present- ed by Mr. Bingley to his sister. "When one's accustomed to the fashionable world of London," Mi.sa Bingley remarked, then stopped with, an elegant, de- precating gesture. "Frankly, Miss Jane, you strike me as the only civilized person in the room." "Oh, you're unfair to the oth- ers," Jane protested. Miss Bingley patted her arm patronizingly. "Sweet child. What a charming disposition. You must come over to Netherfield one day. I shall be so bored, you know, tiiarooned out here in the wilder- ne.-s. We'll arrange it. shall we? Very soon?"

Pinafores Are Again Popular Aprons to Keep Little Girls' Frocks Clean Are Good News to Mothers Pinafores, which keep little girls' dresses clean while they play with water-colors or do any ol the mil- lion-and-one things that are likely to soil clothes, are much iu style this year. This is good news for mothers, who must feel like smart managers when they take off u child's soiled pinafore and disclosf a cleanly dressed little girl ready for company or for supper with the fa.mily. Pinafores can be bought separately^ to wear over any dress. or they come with dr<»s«es In at- tractive comhinations of fabrics. Particularly practical are the navy, brown or wine pinafores that come separately. Then there ai-e count- less dresses in the 2-to-6 age ran-ge, and also in the 7-to-12 group, in washable cottons in solid colors, with striped pinafores repeating iu the stripe the color of the dress. It Is naturally more practical to have the piuafore of the striped material, as stripes show spots Usa thnn solid colors do. AND JUMPER DRESSES Juniper dres.s.'s are in vogue in small sizes, loo. Some are of lav- hudar washable cott-ju. with lav- euder-and-white 3tripe<l shirtinx waists. The dresses are cut prin- cess stylt) with fullness i:i the back, a new note, or have sUlrts that are full all the way around.

It'3 Durable, Blends With Tha Wool and Cotton and Takes Oye, Experts Say "Why, my dear, what a lovely peanut you're wearing" may be- come a common expression if e.K- periments with peanuc fibres for t'lothinif material succeed. York- shire experts are satisfied with results so far but want to be def- initely certain. Men and women research Work- ers are wearing costumes and suits of materials largely compos- ed of peanut fibres and are test- ing the fibre's reaction to wear and weather. First reports have been "satisfactory." TESTING FIBRE'S RE.A.CTIOX They wore the cloth on hikes, .stood in rain and the men made a habit of sitting down without hitching up their trousers to test "crease reaction." "It blends with either wool nr cotton and takes 100 per cent, dye" a Yorkshire research offi- cial said. "We anticipate it will be a big success for women's wear. Beauteous "Miss Ontario" Social Justice Should Be Our Post- War Aim Chosen from more than 1,000 of the province's loveliest girls, Mary Allen Batten of Thorold has been named "Miss Ontario." She met beauties from the other eight provinces in a street-clothes contest at the C.N.E. for the title of "Miss Canada." Use Shortcuts When Sewing No Need To Do Everything The Hard Way Sew rickrack to the undei^side ot the hem of pillowcases or other articles which you intend to decor- ate with a hand-crocheted edge. Ar- range the rickrack in such a way that only a bit of the points will show ou the right side. When cro- cheting catch the hook into the points iustt-a-d ot into the mater- ial. When the article wears out, it Is then easier to rip off the rickraclc braid and use the haml-inade lace in something else. WRONG SIDE OF PATCHES When patching use garmenis made of washable prints; use the wrong side of the new patch in- siead ct the right side. Such a patch is less noticeable since it matches more nearly the somewhat faded material.' To insure an even hem ou nap- kins rse the hemmer of the desir- ed width on the sewiug machine. Do not thread the sewing machine needle. This will fold in the hem evenly and it will then bo reaJv for hand sewing. WTien cutting anything from vel- vet, pin the pattern to the wrong side of the velvet and the velvet will be easier to cut. Uso narrow hat elastic ou bab- ies' bit»8 instead of tape or ribbon. The elastic permits of the bib beins adju.siHl easily over the head.

Writer of Poem King George Quoted In His New Year's Ad- dress Speaks to Canadian University Women Aim ot governments after the war must be for social Justice, Miss M. Louise Ilasklns, of Banff, .^Ita. formerly of London, England, 3:ild in addreaalng the triennial conven- tion at Calgary of the Canadian Federation of University Women's Clubs. Miss Haskins, who became fam- ous when the words ot a poem she wrotp some years ago were quoted by His Majesty in his New Year's radio address, held that the charac- ter of general government which will come after the war may be show to emerge but its nucleuB should appear in ternis of a peace treaty. HHIAJ.TH BIG PROBLEM The former London School of Economics staff member said that certain necessities of the post-war world could be forecast. The world would face after the war most of the conditions of the last war but those conditions would be in- tensified with the moat serious problems those of health. Any remaining luxuries ot life must be strictly curtailed as long as the vital needs of good health were uafilled, and housing pro- jects would be a part of the health scHtme. she believed. Great private fortunes would not have a part iu the post-war world, sha predicted. Why Children Enjoy Noise children like noise because the instincts of the primitive man who is born again in all of us have not yet been subdued by training or teaching. All prim- itive ones like noise, and the rea- son for that is perhaps that the early men made a noise because they were afraid of solitude and silence. They raised their voices partly to raise their spirits and partly to frighten away the evil spirits they feared so much.

CHAMBERS Some Tasty Desserts For Early Autumn The homemaker's mind can be at rest for the day from thu chief an.xieties of menu-planning, if .she plans the meat and vege- table courses early and then tha dessert. Every wise woman realizes it saves time and strength to arrange her meals early in the day. And now as the last fresh fruits are on tlie market and the evenings are chilly, we like to turn our attention to the types of dessert which have been ne- glected during the hotter months. -Apples, pears and peaches, are now at their best. In all baked fruit puddings a long, slow bak- ing seems to produce a superior flavor. If baking a deep apple pie, the filling of apples and sugar should be baked slowly .'or about one and one-quarter hours until apples have that reddish brown color, before placing the cover •fen the too. This type of pie chilled and served with whipped cream is dessert fit for royalty. Baked pears makes a lovely seasonal dessert. If you. are fortunate enough to have maple sjTup, place pears in casserole, baste with the syrup. These may be served hot or cold. -A flavor of ginger to pears is always re- freshing. This may be added to a sauce or chopped candied gin- ger added to whipped cream. Try these peach desserts for something different: Peach Surprise Cook large extra fine whole peach (pitted) in a sugar syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 cup water). Cook until soft but not broken. Cool. Spread your fa- vorie light cake ice cream. Cut in squares and on each press on one of the peach halves. Serve with a thick raspberry syrup. Cantaloupe and Peach a la mode Cut small, very ripe, chilled cantaloupes in half, sprinkle with fruit sugar. Fill centers with sliced sweetened peaches, top with whipped or ice cream. Pear Tapioca % cup quick tapioca 1% cups boiling water ^1 teaspoon salt .3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon jrange juice 2 tablespoons syrup from marashino cherries % cup corn syrup Â¥i cup cron syrup 6 ripe large pears Cook tapioca in double boiler with water and salt until clear. Add lemon and orange juice, syrup from cherries, sugar and corn syrup. Peel and core pears, place- in baking dish with cavity up. Place cherry in each c-avity. Pour over tapioca mixture, bake until pears are tender. Scrvj co!d with w'.iipped cream. Pear Ccnterve Peel and pare one peck pears, run through food chopper, weigh, and for each pound of pears add Mt lb. sugar. Put fruit sugar and Vi cup water in pre- serving kettle. Let come to a good boil; add grated rinds and strained juice of two lemons and 1 can grated pineapple; Vi cup chopped candied ginger. Cook two hours, stirring occa.'ionally ; then pour into jars and seal. READERS WRITE IN! Mill Chamber* welcomes per- sonal tetters from interested | readers.

"Don't overwork, overplay or overeat and avoid excess of alcoholic drink. Along with warning against over-exposure to the sun, the article recom- mended light, loose clothing and a diet which includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. "Don't get 'mad'; keep cool,"' the editorial said. How To Reduce A Fatted Calf You Have to Get Rid of It To Wear Fall Frock* -A glimpse at the trumpet sil- houette of fall clothes is the sig- nal for us to get that slim-and- narrow look. Otherwise our figures aren't going to fit the fashions. It's a hint that we slim our legs a bit, especially if skirts are staying short â€" or going shorter. The fall styles just simply focus attontioa on the legs.

Women Criminals Definitely Deadlier There are fewer women crim- inals than male offenders, but they are more violent, the U. S. DepartiTient of lusticc reported last week. Only 8.1i per cent of the arrest records examined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the first six months of 1D40 re- piesented women. But of each 1,- 000 men and 1,000 women ar- rested, it was found that thers were 13 women as compared with 10 men arrested for murder. (RINGS INSTANT lASI from .,^KXt»^ ISSUE 37â€" '40 / /
