Hang Pictures On Eye-Level They Should Be Placed in Re lation to Furnishings of Room Pictures, small or large, de- lightfully framed and waitin to be hung will look their be.t when hung on eye-level, or at least in direct relation to the fur- niture below and about it. Re- member that it is a part of the furnishings of your room, find as such should tie up with them va. ther than be placed near the ¢eil- ing, for only a six-footer to cn- joy in comfort, . You need be concerned only with the lower lines of the pic- tures being on the same level on one wall, INVISIBLE HANGING Invisible hanging is taken for granted. It is not necessary to use a cord stout enough 'to sup- port a grand piano from your moulding--not when those small brass push pins do the job so neatly and simply, out of sight. Just stretch the wire taut be- tween two screw-cyes and hang it from the metal loop provided. If the moulding must be utilized, hang two wires, one from cach corner of the frame --paralle! to one another, IN IMPORTANT WALL-SPACES If yon must make any mistake, make it on the side of too few pictures, rather than too many, in your home. Hang them only in the important spaces above the larger pieces of furniture. Use there well-chosen, tastefully framed paintings or prints and leave the smaller areas clear, ss peaceful oases for the eye lo come to rest.

She bid for interest on the one hand with a practical item -- tweed stockings to offset a scarcity of silk -- and on the other with nostalgic offer- ings reflecting her old-time glamor. And--Once this would have been big news--skirts for daytime were lengthened below the knees. SKIRTS WERE LONGER Nearly 650 models displaying tho elaboratencss and chie of. pre-war days were brought out by the fam- ed style house of Jeanne Lanvin in the firat of the winter displays. Costumes for daytime trended to trimmings of natural and dyed furs , with Intricate fabric workings and big gold and silver buttons. After- noon and evening dresses flashed with gold and jet embroideries, Fur gauntlets were featured for day wear, . - !

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 prejudices Elizabeth against him. Bingley's sister invites Jane to call, Mrs. Bennet Is ecstatic; she forces Jane to make the trip on horse- back despite pouring rain, praying that the weather will delay her re- turn home. Jane catches cold and remains at the Bingley's for a week. Charles Bingley is enchanted with her. He gives a garden party celebrating her recovery. Elizabeth again ~ meets Darcy. Despite his charm and evident interest, his ar rogance enrages her, particularly his refusal to meet Mr. Wickham, is further infuriated by Miss Bing- ley's supercilious condescension, CHAPTER FIVE Pride Becomes Prejudice At dusk, the guests gathered in tho drawing room for music and refreshments. Elizaboth had avoid. ed Darcy and jMiss Bingley since their encounter on the archery field. Yet, she found no comfort indoors. She remained on tho side- lines - with her father, her heart poundihg with embarrassment for hint and herself. Nothing could stop Mrs. Bennet's ropeated cries of de- light at the splendor of Mr. Bing- ley's hospitality, nor could anyone hush her whispered yet distinct re- marks anent that gentleman's pre- occupation with Jane. Elizabeth seized her father's arm in despair. Her sister Mary, whose vocalizing set the Bennet family on edge at home, was succumbing to her mother's insistence that she sig. Mr. Bennet groaned aloud as Mary, with much simpering and curtseying, took her place at the piano and" began her dismal warb- ling, Song followed song, uritil, prod- ded by Elizabeth, Mr. Bennet for- bade Mary to sing any longer. Elizabeth, her cheeks hot, made for tho refreshment room. At one glance she took in the pleture of her sisters, Lydia and Kitty, at the punchbowl, flashy young officers Strident Voices She rushed back to the drawing room In despair, Her mother's voice sounded clear and distinct. Mrs. Bennet was holding court at one gide of the room, repeating for the benefit of all and sundry, that Mr. Bingley had not, even for the brief est moment, relaxed his devoted attentions to her Jane: - Elizabeth wheeled about at the sound of another strident .voice. ~~ Her cousin, Mr, Collins,-was seated in conversation with her dearest friend, Charlotte Lucas. But it was a one-sided discussion, with the marvelous condescension of Lady de Bourgh, patroness of his parish. She was so condescendingly charm- ing, she even permitted him to greet her, he cried. Elizabeth made for the terrace as one trying to awaken from a bad dream. Miss Bingley interCept- ed her. "Let me congratulate you, Miss Eliza," Caroline sneered venemous- ly. "Family Is So Important" "On what?" faltered Ellzabeth. "On your family, A talented young singer. A cousin distinguish- nections. Two young sisters who are the toast of the officers' mess, A mother who is a most diverting conversationalist; to say. nothing ot your own dexterity with the bow and arrow. Such an interesting and accomplished famlly--and family is so Important!" her sister Lydia's friend. Elizabeth ° surrounded by - clergyman booming away about the ed for his wit and Important con.' Elizabeth turned and ran, her eyes smarting with tears of chag- rin. Outside on the terrace, she leaned her head against one of the columns and sobbed out her heart. Darcy found her there. "Is there something I can do?" he-asked with deep concern. "You can allow me to make a fool of myscit alone," she sald tersely. "Isn't that what I-did this afterncon when I defended Mr, Wickham at the archery field?" "[ rather admire what you did this afternoon," he answered: qulet- ly. "Your resentment at what you believed an Injustice showed cour- age and loyalty. I wish I might possess a friend who defended me as ably as Mr, Wickham was de- fended today." : Blizabeth stared at him through her tears. There was no question- ing the man's sincerity. "Youro very puzzling, Mr. Darcy," she sald, at length, "At this moment it is difficult to belleve you are so arrogant and proud." "You Are So Prejudiced" He smiled tenderly. "And, at this moment, it is difficult to belleve you are so prejudiced." He put out his hand impulsively. "What do you say we wipe the slate clean and start again, Miss Elizabeth?" Before sho could answer, her mother's voice floated out to the terrace. "I must Insist on your looking at Jane and Mr. Bingley," Mrs, Ben- net was exclaiming. "That weok she was ill at Netherfield complet- ed the. conquest. Wasn't it clever of mo to send her over In the vain--" Elizabeth of shame. The gay, sensitive smile which had been warming Darcy's visage faded. Mrs. Bennet's voico sailed out lo them again, but before either could discern her words, Elizabeth col- lected herself. . "If you'll excuse me--" brokenly. "Permit mo to take yau inside," he replied coldly. As they turned to the door, Kitty stumbled drunkenly out of the house. Lydia, screaming hilarious- ly, followed, a veritable parade of roaring officers at her heels, Elizabeth stepped back In utter flushed in an agony she began' . dismay. Through the open door came Mr. Bingley's voice calling partners to dance the Highland reel. "Such a gay dance, the reel--" He nodded frigidly. "Allow me to take you to the drawing room, Miss Elizabath. There must be many young men there wishing to dance with .you."" Old Materials' Lives Doubled Don't Waste Knitted Garm-__ ents or Even Bath Towels ~- Now let's sce how we can make some "old" clothes serve us again. Never throw away hand- knitted sweaters, for instance. If they're past wearing and car- ing about, unpick the wool and use it again. Wind it into skeins and knot them down in several places to' avoid tangles. Now tub very carefully, using nice warm suds. Dry in the sun and give the skeins a brisk shake from time to time so that they fluff up nicely. When dry you can knit your wool up again in what- ever way your fancy pleases. A bath towel going thin in the. middle can be chopped up and turned into face squares. -Make one for each of the family, and s0 that they all know t'other from which, machine-stitch round each one a border of different colored washable bias binding. Wants New Test For War Brides Rev, P." E, Rebbeck, vicar of Wolvencote, England, writes in his parish magazine that when a bride stands before him at the chancel steps he would like to ask her these questions: 1, Wilt thou promise to cook the bacon slowly and see that it fs not frizzled up to nothing? 2. Canst thou make an appetizing ~ stew fit for this man to eat? The vicar adds that before banns are published a girl should have a certificate ot elementary knowledge of cooking.

Bernhardt, a. lead. ing child "psychologist 'and - chair- man of that braneh of the Brit- "ish Overseas Children's Commit: tee at the University of Toronto, said in a recent interview thut the social implications involved in mixing children frcm the Brit. ish Isles and Canada will turn out for the best. The children wiff be better for mixing - with each other, he be- lieves. "Parents need'to exercise much more thought and to have much more advice. Foster parents will, no" doubt, run into many diffi culties and in order to give them help we propose to provide class- es for them here in the institute, "I believe the evacuee move- ment will make for a sort of lea- vening in Toronto. I think it will teach Canadian parents that it is not wise to keep their children as closely tied to their apron strings as many of them do. I think that -both the Canadian and En- glish children will be better rounded-out individuals as a rao- sult of their associations." By Anne Adams---- Even tiny tots may be-smart "tailor-maids"!

Concentrate on keep- ing the face in good trim rather than "gone-glamorous,'"" Remem- ber that to be sure of a good: result a face must be clean and it must be nourished, Cleanse it night with cream, leave on for a few seconds, then wipe off. It takes under a minute to do this. Tap in a mild astringent and you will feel the skin glow under it. Last thing at night tap the skin food all over the face and par- ticularly round the eyes, because this is where lines come first. Second danger points -- those stile lines, and under the chin. Feed these points well. CARING FOR THE HAIR Now for the difficulty of hair. Hair feels the strain of present times badly. Brushing takes up too many - of the precious mo- ments but give it as much as you can. Use a good- brilliantine if your hair is dry, and do make up your mind that you must use a _ first-class hair tonic, Don't go in for elaborate hair styles. The long bob is the easi- est to manage and you can al- ways push it into a snood and look tidy. When it comes to the home shampoo, whihc lots of us in today, remember to choose one suited to your type of hair. Be sure you rinse your hair enough -- that is where most of us trip up when we resort to home methods. Spray with set- ting lotion if you have greasy hair, use only water if you have dry hair, and pin into waves; dry in the sun, if you can. Your Baby Needs "To Exercise Too Game Is the Best Way; Light, Inflated Ball Is Used The baby should have regular exercises just as much or more so than an adult, The time to begin baby's systematic exercise is about tho end of the third month when tho eyes have developed so that he can begin to perceive objects, As with adults' exercises, psy- chology holds that the best form of oxercise for .the baby Is that which centres the interest on some- thing else but the exercise--some gort of game. FOR STRETCHING A light inflated ball is the toy that will for the longest 'space of time give the baby the most exer- clse. He is no different from the adult in that either--a ball is the basis of all games, and red is the color--still similar to sound adult custom, Red in movement will fas cinate any human being and baby is no excéption. i A red balloon tied to the baby's wrist wlll keep its Interest up in the jerks and swings of the arms and legs and the body stretching that are the best form of baby's exerclses,.
