Po TN yo re ---butter, -and plums; A Character Set Above Beauty More Photographicaly Inter. esting--Many Leading Screen Stars Are Far From Pret. tiness It should be comforting to the somewhat plain girls to hear that, according to famous Hollywood ex perts, plain or unusual faces are much more photographically, inter: esting than the perfect-beauty type, writes Donna Grace, beauty editor. Charles Lang, head photographer at Paramount, tells us that after 20 years with cameras he has come to the conclusion that young girls who have beautiful, regular fea tures, "although they. photograph wonderfully, haven't much chance to get anywhere in films. A DISTINCT PERSONALITY "Girls who get ahead have char acter In their features," he claims. "They have a quality above and beyond beauty," something that stands out." Many of the great performers on stage and screen are far from the perfect beauty standards. There are very few of the best of them who could bo rated really beautiful go far as perfect features, Scientific makeup can always give the illus jon of facial beauty, so the import: ant thing is to have a distinctive personality, and this applies to ev- ery girl, even those who have no desire to grace the stage or screen. WORK HARD AT IT The encouraging thing about this js that everyone can develop an at- tractive personality. Even the dull backward girl may blossom into a fascinating beauty by making the effort. Just remember that those who have achieved success had to work for it, no matter how care- free and irresponsible they may act. Respect and consideration for others is the first principle in build- ing fine personalities, We can't be sglfish and at the same timo agreo- able, We must try to understand that others are just as important and clever as we are.

GERTRUDE GELBIN Copyright 1940 by Loew's Inc. * SYNOPSIS Two rich London bachelors, Mr. Darcy and Mr, Bingley, arrive with the latter's sister to take up resl- dence at the Netherfield Park Es- tate in Meryton Village. Since mar- rlage is a girl's only career In the 1800's, Mrs, Bennet, mother of the five marriageable daughters--Eliz- abeth, Jane, Mary, Lydia and Kitty --is in a turmoil of excitement. De- spite Mr. Bennet's protest, she cam- paigns vigorously to win the bach- elors for witty Elizabeth and beau- tiful Jane. Jane and Bingley fall In love at first sight; but Darcy's ar- rogant pride prejudices Elizabeth against him. She Is further incens- ed when he deliberately snubs Mr. Wickham, friend of her sister Lyd- ia. Miss Bingley invites Jane to visit her. CHAPTER THREE Target Practice 'The great and fateful day when Jane was to visit Miss Bingley at Netherfield Park, dawned gray, cold and weighted with rain clouds. The weather afforded Mrs. Bennet a brilliant idea, "Jane shall ride over on horse- back. Then, if it rains, she won't be able to come home after din- nor. They'll have to keep her for the night--and there's really noth- ing like wet weather for dhgage ments!" So, on horseback went Jane; nol only did she remain for the night, she slayed for the week. Her ex- posure lo the rain resulted in a cold that confined her to bed at Netherfield Park. Amd, if stream- ing eyes, red nose, sneezes and wheezes are not the things of which romance js made, Charles Bingley seemed totally unaware of it. Red nose of no, he was enchant. ed with her, visiting the sick room at every opportunity. His delight was as nothing compared to Mrs. Bennet's, : "Mr, Bennet!" she cried to her husband as she poured their break- fast coffee, "I've just received a note from Mr. Bingley. He asks per- mission to glve a garden party and ball for Jane as soon as she's well." She sighed. "Such a happy idea of mine to send her off In the rain!" "Mr. Bennet emerged from behind- his copy of the Times. * "But to Jane must go all the credit for having caught the cold, my dear," ho observed sarcasti cally. nt The Clergyman Rival Certainly, Bingley hoped Jane's viait would go on forever. But Mrs. Bennet, a general marshalling fore- es ofr victory, recalled Jane for the one reason that would whet Bingley's jealousy, heighten his ar- dor and goad him into a declar- atlon, She. placed a rival in his path. Cousin Collins, the clergyman to whom the Bennet estate was en- tailed, arrived for a visit, Elizabeth was dispatched to fetch Jane un- der the pretext that her sister must meet the malo and marriageable relative who was the Bennet house guest. Poor Mr. Bingley reacted to the news fn the manner hoped for. While he did not quite declare himself, his attentions to and con- cern for Jane reached a peak that infuriated his sister and sent Dar- cy's eyebrows on the rige.

Charlotte . Lucas, her dearest friend, came to her rescue. Mr. Collins, finding himself the object of Charlotte's concern, prémptly - forgot Elizabeth. Charlotte was lovely, he decided; a bit old--on the late twentyish side--practically a epinster--but a lovely girl! Jane's Success Mrs. Bennet drowned this defeat in the glow of Bingley's continued attentions to Jane -- climaxed by the garden party hon- oring her complete recovery. It was a splended party! Mrs, Bennet could have hoped for mo- thing finer! Mr. Bingley had eyes for no one except Jane! It proved -onco and for all, that she was right in her campalgn, Would Jane be basking in the glow of Bingley's admiration if-Mrs, Ben- net had listened to her husband? In the future, that worthy, hiding behind a mass of unintelligible lomes and treatiscs, had "better leave such matters to her! So great was her delight in Bing- ley and Jane that she closed her oyes to the mad caperings of Kitty and Lydia who flirted outrageous- ly with uniformed officers; that she lost sight of pedantic Mary's woeful shortcomings as a beauly; that she even forgot to scold Eliz- abeth for being as coolly aloof as her father, i (To Be Continued) Salting Down They Will Keep All Winter if Properly Done Beans should be Balted down in large stone or glass jars or any other larger réceptacles.

Naturalnes Is 1940 Keynote This Fall's Smart Girls Are Passing Up "Sophisticated" Effects -- Fresh, Unspoiled Look In Favor The smarlest girl--fall 1940 style --1is a perfectly groomed, natural looking beauty with shorter halr, shorter nails and shorter skirts. Long bobs are not so long. Claw- like, pointed nalls are considered old hat. Pinafores and the knee length sports skirt, worn with long- or socks and requiring smooth, white knees, are style news of the hour, Both the shorter skirts and the pinafores give their 'wearers a fresh, unspoiled look with which heavily made up eyes and siren nails would be incongruous.
