This advice comes from Ma. dame Lyolene, famous French couturier, who is designing clothes in New York these days, 'With such good figures on which to drape clothes, there is no reason why women on this con- _ tinent should not be the best- dressed in the world." LOOK YOUR BEST It's all a matter of knowing what type cf clothes brings out your best points and conceals less attractive ones, Madame Lyolene points out. Designers generally approve of the woman who, having found a flattering pattern, has half a do- zen dresses in various colors and materials made from that pat- tern. ut, even se, they think she may not be very 'imaginative and should be willing to spend more time on her wardrobe. BECOMING COIFFURES It's true, too, that the hair ex- perts would like to have every woman change her hair style at least once every two years. But they would rather have her change the old coiffure slightly now and then than to make a ra- dical change in favor of an un- becoming arrangement, Hay Fever Season Prospect Is Bad Ontario's 100,000 sufferers from hay fever are in for a bad season, health officials said last week.

Quints Possess Perfect Teeth There's Not the Slightest In- dication of Dental Decay Tho Dionne quintuplets at six "have perfect sets of teeth without the slightest indication of decay," their dental adviser, Dr. Arnold D, Mason told the American Dental Association last week.

SYNOPSIS Two rich London bachelors, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, arrive with the latter's sister to take up resi. dence at the Netherfield Park Es- tate in Meryton Village. Since mar- riage 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 turmoll of excitement. De- spite Mr. Bennets-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 1V None of the day's drama was lost on Elizabeth. She sought ro fuge from her mother's ecstasy, from Mary's stupldity, from Lydla's and Kitty's bolsterousness, on the archery field, As she made her way to the stand of bows and ar- rows, Darcy greeted her. "Would you like a little target practice?" he asked pleasantly. "Yes," she replied, somewhat tak- en aback -by his friendly manner. "Are 'you a good shot with the bow, Mr. Darcy?" "Tolerable," he answered. "Only tolerable?" she question- ed mischievously. "Well," he expanded; "it's a fine old sport and one In which even a young lady can become profic- ent." - "So I've heard," she sald grave. ly. ; "At short range, of course," ho added. "And with a light bow." He fitted an arrow and took aim. A Bull's Eye "What a bad shot!" he said In annoyance as the arrow missed the target and landed in the side of the knoll beyond, He handed her the bow. Would you like to try it?" She nodded, an {impish smile lighting her face. "Place the how in the left hand," ho Instructed 'sententiously., "And tho arrow godoes<ltke this = and these two fingers so. Now -- left arm straight, Stand sidewise and aim at the bull's eye," He paused, taking in the picture of her as she strained! to. follow his instruc- flons. "That's right," he approv- ed. "Now shoot." Elizabeth let go the arrow. It landed in the very heart of the target. . "A Bull's Eye!" he cried. Without pausing, Elizabeth pick- ed up a second arrow and shot it to split the first one. . Darcy stared incredulously from her to the target, then laughed with delight. "Next time I talk to a young lady about archery, I won't be so patronizing," he promised. "Thank you for the lesson," Elizabeth, disarmed by his friend- liness, smiled warmly at him, "Thank you for taking fit so well. Most men would have been offend. ed." "Miss Elizabeth," he said, sud. 0 denly serious, "would you mind tell ing me why you're so determined to offend me?" = "I'm sorry, Mr. Darcy. But play- ing tricks on people is one of my besetting sins." Her evasion was not lost on him. "Well--may 1 ask how long you've been practising archery?" he asked pleasantly, "Since I was six," she laughed. "And what else have ybu been doing since you were six?" "Oh, nothing in particular, Liv- Ing. Laughing. I laugh a good deal, you know." ki . "You Don't Laugh Enough" His glance was frankly admir- ing. "So I ghould imagine." "It's none of my business, of course," she smiled, "but I should say, Mr. Darcy, that you didn't laugh enough." Miss Bingley joined them. "Hello," Darcy greeted. Elizabeth was just saying thinks [I don't laugh enough," Caroline eyed Elizabeth frigidly. "l should be very sorry if you laughed more than you do, Mr. Darcy. There is something so un- refined about exccssive laughter." "If you want to be really refin- ed," Elizabeth countered, "you've got to be dead. There's nobody so dignified and distingdished as a mummy. And now, Mr. Darey, may I ask you a question? What would be your opinion of a man who had everything--birth, brecding, wealth, charm--and yet who refused to ac- cept an introduction to another man who was poor and of no conse- quence." ar Darcy flushed. "I would form no opinion until I knew the circum- stances of the particular case," he replied coldly, "And now, if you will excuse me, I shall retrieve the arrows." : Elizabeth thoughtfully. "Miss Eliza," observed Miss Bing: ley. "May I warn you not to take George Wickham too seriously?" "You know [I referred to Mr. Wickham?" Elizabeth asked in as- tonishment. "You know that Mr, Darcy refused to meet him?" "Of course. And I know, too, that ho goes about saying Mr. Darcy has used him ill. While I'm ignor- ant of the particulars, I know what Mr, Wickham says is not true." What A Gentleman? "Indeed!" Elizabeth's tone was fcy. "Personally,-I find Mr. Wick: ham a very pleasant, accomplished gentleman." "Gentleman!" exclaimed Miss "Bingley. "I'm afraid hé must have neglected to tell you that he's the son of Mr. Darcy's late steward." "Mr, Wickham gave me that in- formation, Miss Bingley. And to me, a gentleman is one who has honor, generosity, truthfuliress-- whether he be of low or high de "Miss she watched him go "scent." She faced Darcy angrily as the latter approached, the arrows in hand, "Mr. Darcy! Miss Bingley wolld like a lesson In archery." She turned to Caroline, "Follow your teacher's instructions, Miss Bingley, and you'll learn to direct your darts with great accuracy." "Well!" cried Miss Bingley as Elizabeth, her head high, marched off. "Of all the insolenco and bad manners, Pray, Mrs. Darcy, what do you think of her now?" "I think she handles a bow and arrow superbly," he replied caro lessly, and smiled after the retreat. ing figure of Elizabeth, ; (To Be Continued) White Acessories ~ Scrupulously Clean White Maser) to be flat- tering, must be kept spotlessly clean.

A Good Carriage Can Be Learned Be Taken to ~= Careless Appearance Easy Steps Can Improve Yours Posture Spoils An awkward gait spoils com- pletely an otherwise lovely ap- pearance, writes Alice Hart, beauty editor, No amount of grooming can quite make up for the effect achieved by carrying the head far forward or down so that the chin almost touches the chest. Clothes can't be as flattering as it is possible for them to be unless shoulders are square, back- bone straight, stomach in and chest high. The first step toward learning to walk beautifully and grace- fully is to do posture exercises until you stand and sit well, says Alicia Hart, beauty columnist, who urges women to get into the habit of standing with the end of spinal column slightly up and forward, stomach up and in, chest high, neck straight. Shoulders should be back but not exagger- atedly so. When you walk, swing your legs from the hips -- not the knees. Try to strike a happy me- dium between very long and short, mincing steps. Weight should be on the balls of the feet. Don't drag your heels or, worse yet, walk on tiptoes. A geod carriage and graceful walk are worth striving for, for they add to health and conse- quent good spirits, as well as making the new fall costume look as attractive as it was meant to be.

Every group has {its enthusiasts, apparently; women for the most part, but {including some men. Something of the scope and del icacy of their work on furniture coverings, bedspreads and hangings fs suggested In an exhibition of the results of the "America Through the Needle's Bye" contest. HOOKED RUGS, PETIT POINT Hooked rugs, petit and gros point chair coverings, hangings, patchwork spreads and tablecloths, both embroidered and crocheted, bear witness to unusual skill and patience in wielding hook or needle, Old-fashioned afghans are a feature and even embroidered towels are included in this careful selection ot the work of contestants from North Dakota to Connecticut, The highly decorative appearance of most of the pieces suggests that these amateur needleworkers have a greater knowledge of design than is generally supposed. Even when a subject so prosaic as a map is selected, as it was by a needlepoint expert who pictured the islands of the Caribbean, the variation of col or and textures produces a. most attractive result. Again, in a quilt whose patchwork forms a map of the United States, the color harm- ony of pastel yellows, orange and beige gives it distinction and sug- gests its use as a bed covering for a boy's room or-a wall hanging for a den.

There is a decided shortage of woollens for production and . enlistment of many skilled . workers in the army has left pro- ~ duction mills short handed. One merchant said last week, con- tinues the Beacon-Herald, that he had received a letter from a: firm which once-tilled orders promptly, advising him that owing to the shortage of skilled labor orders could not be filled immediately. The delay in filling orders is not only caused by shortage of skilled workers. In many plants the gov- ernment has found it necessary to commandeer a certain percentage of looms and the output of material for clvilian use is necessarily cur. tailed.
