2 Al New Wardrobe _ confldence however, From Old Clothes Don't Give up In Despair if You Can't Afford to Buy a Lot of New Dresses Before you throw up your hands fn despair because your budget won't permit a complete new ward: xobe this fall, try the eystem of making the most of what you have in your present one, i NEW ACCESSORIES Last winter's wool dresses won't look or feel the same if you have them shortened, refitted through the waistline if necessary, cleaned and pressed by an excellent dry © eleaner. And then wear them with good-looking shoes, bags hat and gloves in one of the new, exciting accessory colors, such as benedic- tine brown. Perhaps a new, inexpensive jac ket and a skirt you already have will serve the suit situation: .in pretty good order, Maybe if the old black dress had a new bright scarf or a new clip at the neckline, it wouldn't look like the old black dress, Even shoes often can be recon ditioned to look and feel like new. Before you throw away a pair of old favorites for which you paid quife a tidy sum, consider having them re-soled or perhaps dyed. DRESS AND JACKET If you can have one new. outfit, you might got a wool dress and a matching jacket and accessories which will be smart with it and with one or two left-over dresses in your wardrobe. The dress and jacket will be right for street and general wear. And, if it isn't too severely tailored, the dress minus the jacket will be useful for bridge and dressier occasions. oe A Real Raisin Pie l--By Frances Lee Barton--- ING a simple food song.

Linen: Heirloom Of Civilization As A Fabric -- Flax is the Most Anclent of Fibres Used By Man -- Ireland ls Sole Source of Supply Now For This Continent The position of linens in the high- style field is -of increasing import. ance now that Ireland, because of war conditions is the only source of 'supply left to this continent. Leading U. 8. importers expressed at there are sufficient stocks in thie markets to care adequately f he normal 'needs of the tradd until at least next summer, But the fact that there is no oversupply of this tex- tile offers an excellent opportunity to build. up its prestige in the Am- erican fashion picture. Linen might well be termed the heirloom fabric of civilization, Flax #8 one of the most ancient of fibres used by man, and flax-spinning one of his oldest industries. Linen doubtless, was In widespread use before the dawn of history, for fragments of flax fibre cloth have been discovered in Switzerland, presumably left there ten thousand years ago by its ancient weavers, the Neolithic Lake Dwellers. MENTIONED OFTEN IN BIBLE Frequent mention of linen occurs fn the Bible, and the linen burial wrappings, and ceremonial cloths found by modern archacologists in the tombs of the Pharaohs prove that linen was. the fabric of the aristocracy in Egypt, Tho Romens ana tne Gauls used the textife, the Colts named and developed it, And Andries enormous consumption of Jinen has been the determining fdstor in modern Hnen history, par- Alcularly in its atylidg and the de- v ent of oroase resistant qual: Pride and Prejudice Adapted from the Metin. -Goldwyn-Mayer Picture 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: fey, 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 afi ¥ 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,__. her sister Lydia's friend. Elizabeth Is further infuriated by Miss Bing: ley's supercilious condescension, CHAPTER SIX Elizabeth held back her tears, and with head high, preceded him into the house. They had advanced but a few steps, when her cousin, Mr. Collins, rushed up to them. "Mr. Darcey!" he cried, "Do you know that your aunt, Lady de Brough is my patroness?" "Indeed?" Darcy's tone was dead- ly. "You wi be happy to learn," Collins gushed on, "that when I left her two weeks ago, your graci- ous Aunt was ¢njoying the best of health--"_ Disdaining to reply, Darcy bow- ed to Elizabeth and strode off. "Oh, Mr. Collins," cried Eliza- beth in -anguish, "Why did you glve him the opportunity to snub you like that. You should never have introduced yourself!' "Snub me?" demanded Collins. "Why he received me with the heartiest condescension. He's very like his Aunt--" and thus protest. ing, he followed her into the draw- ing room, "He's Taking It Seriously" Darcy returned to the terrace In an effort to calm his thoughts. Miss Bingley found him there, "Goodness, Mr. Darcy," she ex- claimed, simulating surprise, "What a start you gave me. I had no idea you were out here." "I was just -- just seeing If every- thing 'was all right, you know." "How thoughtful of you," she murmured. There ensued ENTS seconds of silence, "Mr. Darcy -- I'd like to talk to you -- about that Bennet girl, Jane. I thought Charles was having only a little firtation -- but he seems to be taking it serfously, Can you belleve it? He actually said some- \ thing to me about marriage. Mar. riage!" Darcy started. "I take it that you would regakd such a match as un- suitable?" "Unsuitable? But, Mr, Darcy, it's impossible, Absolutely impossible!" He was lost in thought, Finally, he raised unhappy eyes to ber face. "You're right," he sald slowly, "It's mad -- but -- all the samo -- if it's a question of deep feeling--" "Well, let him have his deep feel. ings," she cried, "But let him have them about some¢one he can marry." ~Darcy stared ahead of him, his eyes dark and brooding, ('Such spirit, such life, such a quick, flame-like quality," he said, speak- beth. Miss Bingley looked at him in astonishment, "Jane Bennet flame- "like?" Her tone and question brought Darcy to himself and shook oft the claim of his inner thoughts. "Well -- I mean -- I mean Miss Jane's a very beautiful girl." "Oh, 1 agree," she answered quickly. "Pretty as you can make them. But after all, thero are plenty of pretty girls -- pretty girls who don't have vulgar mothers and uncles in trade; and a row:of un- presentable sisters. Happiness doesn't depend on choosing a wife with low connections. On the con- trary." A Part Of Conspirators The painful details of the eve- ing aloud his thoughts of Eliza- * ning came sharply to mind, at her words, Darcy straightened up sud- denly and when he spoke, his voice was harsh and cold. "You're right. A man has no right to play with fire, One has his duty to his family -- his rank -- his position." "And I'm sure it's not a case of cried. "Ob, Mr, Darcy. Do go and eave Charles at once. Tell him he must be sensible, Your word will have more influence with him than anything--" conspiragors," he concluded <grim- ly. "We're plotting the murder of a man's feelings, Well," he sigh- ed, "seeing it has to be done, let's do it quickly."

While black carries merrily along, there are many unexpect- ed bright contrasts-as well as high fashion accents such as taupe, beige and rich, red wine, The most interesting color is brown -- not only one tone but the complete brown family, in- cluding rust brown, caramel, taupe, cocoa and coffee--all of which are deep tones that are most becoming to the wearer, Green is another headliner, and is divided into three definite groups--blue green, yellow mos- sy green, and rich dark green.
