Two Handsome Bachelors The two handsome, -distinguisk.- cd gentlemen who rdde 'in tha chaise bad come to take up per- manent residence at Netherfield Park, the finest estate in the county. Better than that -- and the glad tidings spread like wiid- fire to every hearth -- Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley were bachelors, Rich bachelors! The lady who ac companied them: was Miss Bing- ley who offered no complication inasmuch as she was engaged to a young man from London, In no houschold was there more excitement than the Ben- net's, Mrs, Bennet was beside herself with joy. And why not? What other Meryton matron had five marriageable daughters, with not a penny 2] dowry for any of them? : Mrs. Bennet, as would any good mother of that day. when matrimony was a girl's only hope and career, pursued husbands for her five girls like a baying hound on the scent of a- fox. Not all the charming wit of her eld- est, Elizabeth, nor the beauty and modesty of Jane, nor the be- spectacled pretentions to intellect of Mary, nor the flighty pursuit of handsome officers by Lydia and Kitty, nor the sardonic hu- mor of her barrister 'husband could stay her. Mr. Bennet's casual calm us- ually kept the houschold on an even keel. Yet even his imperturb- ability threatened to break under Mrs. Bennet's barrage. Husbands For Their Daughters "Mr. Bennet," she stormed. "You must go over to Nether- field Park and pay your respects. If you don't, Sir William and iy Lucas will get there before: .

"Elizabeth is not a bit better than the others!" she retorted. "Why do you always, give her preference?" "They're all silly and ignorant {lke msot girls," he sighed, "but - Copyright 1940 by Loew's Inc. Lizzy has some glimmerings of sense." "Mr. Bennet!" Mrs. Bennett's tears began to flow. "How can you be so resigned to your daugh- ters growing up to be penniless old maids--Ileaving all your money to that cousin of yours-- that odious Mr. Collins." Mr. Bennet almost lost his tem- per. "For the thousandth time, my dear, this estate was entailed when I inherited it. It must by law go to a male heir -- a male Flheir, Mrs. Bennet. And, as you possibly remember, we have no son." "All the more reason why you should take some responsibility about getting husbands for your daughters," she cried. "But you es¢ape into your unintelligible books and leave all that to me." Certainly, Mrs. Bennet assum- ed full responsibility the night of the Assembly Ball, that Mery: ten event which marked the first public appearance of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. For the hun- dreath time, the anxious mother posed lovely Jane, admonished Elizabeth, scolded and cautioned Lydia and Kitty against their preoccupation with the uniformed officers who thronged the hall, The Assembly Ball A sigh of relief escaped her, when at last, after what seemed like hours of waiting, she saw Mr. Bingley, Miss Bingley and Mr. Darcy enfer the room. To say that Elizabeth Bennet's heart didn't skip a beat would be untrue. She had too much spirit ~and intelligence and was to§ much a product of her time not to be conscious of the fact that rich, eligible bachelors were perfect grist for the marriage mill, "What a_hdndsome young man Mr Darcy is!" exclaimed Mrs. Bennet. "And doesn't he know it!" El- izabeth observed with 'a mischiev- ous smile. "I like Mr, Bingley better," Jane mused. "Mr. Darcy's so-- so--" finished. "But he does have an air about him." Jane's eyes grew suddenly bright. Sir William was heading directly for them with Mr. Bing- ley in tow. Mr. Bingley was promptly presented to the Ben- nets and quite as promptly asked Jane to dance. As they moved toward the floor, Lydia danced by with a handsome officer. . "Lizzie!" Lydia ghouted. "This is Mr. Wickham. He wants to meet you. He thinks you're a lovely creature." - Elizabeth flushed at her sister's boisterousness, but bowed smiling- ly to Mr. Wickham _who ack- knowledged the introduction with a gay laugh. Elizabeth then turn. ed to greet her Jriend, Charlotte Lucas. , "Have you no 'partner for this dance, Lizzy?" Charlotte asked vanteringly. "Well, neither have LY "Shall we brazen it out in the open?' Elizabeth laughed. "Or shall we go Into hiding? I know of a good place." "Lead on," Charlotte lamented wth mock seriousness," and thé two girls made for a small al- cove off the ballroom.

If you have not before made the resolution to use niore apples and help the apple growers (and incidentally our country's rev- enue) make that resolution to- day. What a joy to live in this age, when almost everything we buy is graded. Always enquire about the grade when you buy and if one pays a trifle more it is money well spent for guaranteed goods mean economy. Some tell me they have been disappointed at first in Apple juice. Try chilling it. It is then a most refreshing and delicious drink, Have you tried the apple juice when baking your ham? It also makes a splendid liquid for jellies and this jelly to serve with cold meat is incomparable. One of the fond recollections of my childhood is helping my grand- mother dry apples. She used to string them in long strings and it was such fun; then later to heip devour them was more en- joyable. Children like them to eat raw and they are very health- ful. Apples contain just about. as many vitapghs as the orange, as also does "the tomato,--so let us help the Canadian farmer! There are several methods for drying apples. You can do it by evaporation or dchydration but for the simple everyday method, the sunshine is very reliable, The yellow transparents are an ideai apple for this purpose but any firm juicy apple will be a suc- cess. Peel apples, core and cut in thin slices; place on wire screens or racks (they must have a good ventilation to be a suc- cess). Place where they will have bright outdoor sunshine. Take them in at night. If the sunshine is continuous, two days will be long enough, but- if not a steady heat leave them an extra day. Of course they should soak in then" cook as any dried fruit. Try % cup of these in a fruit cake sometime and you will be surprised at the moistness it gives. Besides you need less of the more expensive fruits. JELLIED APPLES & RAISINS Choose the reddest apples pos- sible. 4 apples = % cup white sugar "1 cup boiling water Thin shavings of lemon rind 1 tablespoon gelatine 14 cup cold water 13% cups apple syrup 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon chopped candied ginger 3% cup chopped seedless raisins. Combine sugar, water, lemon rind and ginger. Boil three min- utes; remove the rind. Drop in sections of red apples quartered and cored. Cook' in syrup until clear, cover part of the time, Lift sections of apple out care- fully so as not fo break. Measure syrup; add apple juice to make up 13% cups. Soak gelatine in old water. Add to Loiling syrup and lemon j he. Many like to use a red etable coloring which gives it a zestful look. When partially set add the apples carefully, them into the jelly. Pile in sher- bet glasses, serve with custard sauce, or whipped cream sprink- ling the top with a little colored (red) sugar, APPLE & GINGER CONSERVE 6 cups of prepared apples (I prefer the yellow trans- parents) . 5 cups sugar cup preserved ginger chopped, t the apples (which have . beén washed, péeled, cored and -chidppéd) into preserving kettle. Add the sugar and ginger; mix and allow. to stand for 2 hours, Cook slowly, stirring oceasionally until the apples are clear. Pour into hot sterile glasses and seal.

When Kitchens Need Attention How to Keep Porcelain Sinks and Ranges In First-Class Shape . Repair all tap leaks promptly, it - you would maintain a-stainless fin- ish on bathtubs and sinks.

JORN MILE 2 Many Agneses Noted Figures Roman Martyr Is Honored on January 21 by Several Churches The Agneses of this world have been leading figures in many real dramas. A very sterling Agnes was "the Roman virgin and martyr, who "at 12 or 13 years of age was be- "headed during the reign of Diocle- tian." Her festival is celebrated on January 21 by the Greek, Roman and Anglican churches. St. Agnes Eve, immortalized by Keats, celebrated on January 20, was considered especially a holiday for women, when a girl by divina- tion was supposed to see the form of her future husband. The vindictive Agnes was Agnes. of Austria, wife of Andrew III of Hungary, who devoted herself to avenging 'the murder of her father, Albert I of @ermany. Agnes of Poi: tu, second consort of the Emperor ical Intrigue in her struggles with the nobility, who, after her hus- , band's death, succeeded in depriv- ~ ing her of, the guardianship of her gon, Henry IV. THE MOST GLAMOROUS The most glamorous Agnes, and one of the most glamorous beauties "of all history, was Agnes Sorel, the favorite mistress of Charles VII of France, that rather weak prince whose throne was secured to him, by Joan of Arc. Charles first: saw Agnes when she was about 20 years old and remained faithful to her until her death, Her influence over him was--supposed- to have been beneficial, Long-Distance Dog An Ohio sportsman took his dog to Texas, The Irish setter did not like his new surroundings and disappeared, Ten months later he turned up at his old home--1,500 - miles away--in good condition.
