Hore are' some' pointers for you. Satin and crepe evening shoes can be washed by wiping with-.a damp cloth dipped into soap flakes; wipe the soap off with a clean damp cloth and let the shoes dry in & normal temperature. Soft toys can- be actually washed in warm soap flakes, rinsed thoroughly and allow. ed to dry naturally; they will take several days If they ure of the stuffed variety. That slip-on corset of yours can be washed at home, too. Rub dry soap flakes into any very soiled parts and then squeeze | the corset through luke-warm soap suds, ; brushing with a soft nail brush on the solled parts, rinse In threo lots of lukewarm water, roll in a towel to get rid of extra mois ture, and hang, with weight evenly distributed, to dry. Easy, tsn't it, when you know how? Your silk lampshades can be put bodily into soap suds and swished about; then rinse them, pat as dry as possible with a towel and allow to dry, Parchment and vellum shades can ° be sponged clean with -a cloth' |* wrung almost dry from soap suds and then rinsed with a cloth wrung * hard out of clear water; wipe them dry. Re et ® ol ° ° Pride and Prejudice Adapted from the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Picture by GERTRUDE GELBIN Copyright 1940 by Loew's Inc, SYNOPSIS' Since marriage is a girl's only career in the 1800's, Mrs, Bennet, mother of five marriageable daugh- ters--Elizabeth, Jane, Mary, Lydia and Kitty--campaigns like a gen: eral to capture two rich London bachelors, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bing- ley, for her two elder girls. Jane and Bingley fall in love, at first sight; but Darcy's arrogant pride in his family and rank prejudices Elizabeth against him, despite the fact that both are warmly drawn to each othér. Darcy finds the Ben- net family impossible. Mrs. Bennet is vulgar, scheming; Mary is a pre- tentious bore; Lydia and Kitty are boisterous; Mr. Bennet, who has married beneath him, is overshad- owed by them all. Elizabeth is fur- ther incensed when Darcy snubs' Mr. Wickham, the son of his late steward. Bingley's sister Caroline appeals to Darcy to help her break up her brother's growing attach- ment to-Jane, Since-Darcy believes he has won the battle of -his own dislike of her family over his hon. est love for Elizdbeth, he promises Caroline to do the same for Wing: ley. CHAPTER SEVEN An Offer of Marriage Darcy pursued his purpose ®0 cleverly, that within short order, Charles Bingley closed up Nether- tield Park and departed from Mery- ton to London without farewell. Elizabeth tried to console" her crushed and stunned sister. "Jane!" she cried. "I'm sure Caroline and Darcy are at the bottom of this. Since they won't lot Charles stay here, you shall go to him In Lon- gon. You'll visit our Aunt Gardln- ser." plan. Aunt Gardiner was a lady of position and wealth. The Bingleys could not help but encounter Jane at her Aunt's home. Seeing Jane in this atmosphere would complete- ly re-awaken Charles' ardor, Elizabeth accompanied Jane to London, and having seen her safe- ly to thelr Aunt's, set out to pay a long deferred visit to -hér dear friend Charlotte, who had, in the interim, married Mr. Bennet's cous- in, Mr. Collins. Rather than face spinsterhood, Charlotte had wedded Collins. But never was a man more insuffer- » ablo or less suited to an intelll- gent, charming and spirited wife. His fawning obeisance to his pa- troness, Lady de Brough, his pom- pous attitudinizing. in his. own home, his staggering stupidity made him odlous to Elizabeth; even it he was her own cousin. She'd Die A Spinster Elizabeth determined anew that - she'd die a spinster before she'd 'marry any man but a man she loved. In her heart, she knew that man was Darcy. If only his arro- gant pride had not evoked her un- bridled prejudice against him! upred Elizabeth quickly formulated her "Her opinion of Darcy prepared her for Lady de Brough, wlio was his aunt, Her Ladyship, with in- furlating condescension, doled out Charlotte and their guest. Eliza- beth, aptly concluding that rude- ness. and snobbery were a family trait, welcomed the opportunity to cross verbal swords with LAdy de Brough and thus, In. a manner, settle the score with Darcy. The opportunity was completely deprived her, Elizabeth entered: the de Brough home to find Darcy among the guests. "Mr. Darcy!" Her voice trembled with surprise and pleasure, despite herself, : He bowed and kissed Jer hand. "A happy meeting, Miss Elizabeth," he greeted gently. His burning eyes betrayed that he was as much moved as she by this unexpected encounter. He col lected ~himself sufficiently to pre- sent his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. "Well, Darcy," smiled the latter. "Now I know what kept you in Meryton all summer." DAY-LONG STYLE FOR MATRONS By.

Ads ams, Room 426, 78 West Adel aide St., Toronto. The picture of Darcy's rudeness and snobbery durlug his stay at Meryton, flashed through Eliza- béth's mind. "You also know what drove. him out again," she said coolly. "He liked the landscape well enough -- but the natives, Colonel Fitzwilllam! The natives! What boors and savages. Utterly Insup- portable! Isn't that so, Mr, Darcy?" "It you think sg," he answered slowly. ! His Unhappy Eyes Her ironic smile faded and her glance fell before the quiet un: happiness' in his eyes. . Throughout dinner and for the remainder of the evening, Elizabeth fought a losing -battle against Darcy's charm, | The next day, Fitzwilliam called upon Elizabeth. Their conversation returned time and again to Darcy. Despite herself, she voiced her scorn for his pride and self-inter- est. £ ; "You're unfale to Darcy," Filz william protested. "He is really a man of warm impulses and deeply loyal and affectionate to his friends." Elizabeth smiled wryly, It need- ed every effort "for her to forget the charming Darcy she had eng countered the night before and to remember the man she knew too well -- the Darcy who judged her by her mother and sisters -- the Darcy who snubbed Mr. Wickham, Lydia's friend, because Wickham was the son of a steward, and as such was beneath Darcy's -cour- tesy. g Her Own Sister his friends," "I can prove how loyal he Is to his friends," Fitzwllllam continued. "permit me to tell you of a young man whom Darcey recently saved from making a very serious matri- monial mistake--" In all Innocence, Fitzwilliam told of Darcy's friendship for Bingley as expressed by his success in sep- arating Charles from Jane--'a girl," he concluded, "whose family was common, vulgar and without breeding." Elizabeth heard him through. She somehow managed to dismiss him without revealing the fact that thé girl in question was her own sister. The story was, for her, the last proof she needed against Darcy. (To be continued) Fitzwilliam contin- Don't Be Afraid Of Your Infant :) ' A Baby Can Be A Great Trial HH You Let It-- Too many mothers are really afraid of their babies--it does the baby no good and ft spoils the pleasure - of motherhood, declares Dr. Charles Gilmore Kerley, ad- | viser to three generations of Both d - ers, Telling what not to be afra of and how to help the haby grow up safely, he writes in McCall's for October: -- "A baby can be a great trial for a great comfort--just as you make him, In 62 years of medical prac. tice I've seen every type.
