GOLDEN TEXT.—And Jesus ad. vanced in wisdom and stature, and In favor with God and men. Luke 2: 52, THE LESSON iN ITS SETTING Time.—Our Lord was born prob- ably in the winter of 4 to 6 B,C.; the visit to the temple at Jerusalc,m When Jesus was twelve years old took place in April, A,D. 8, Place.—The events recorded in verses 1 to 20 took place in Beth- lehem; those recorded in verses 22 to 38 took place in Jerusalem, as did also the events recorded in verses 41 to 50; the life ot Christ at Nazareth is referred to in vers- es 39, 40, 51, 52, Nazareth, a town In Galilee, the home of Joseph and Mary for about thirty years became the place where Jesus spent practically all of his life up to the time of his baptism, and haus gave him the frequently used title "Jesus of Naz- areth," Luke 2: 4. And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wis- dom: and the grace of God was upon him, Visit to the Temple 41. And his parents went every year tp Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. 42. And when lie was twelve years old, they went up after the customs of the feast, The law of Moses commanded all male Jews to attend at Jerusalem at the three feasts of passover, pante- cost, and tabernacles; but this cus- tom had long fallen into abeyance, and it was a mark of devout living to go up once a year. The narrative brings out the piety of Jossp+h and Mary. On a son's thirteenth birth- day the father brought the boy to the synagogue on the "Sabbath of Phylacteries" and presented him with phylacteries, which the son thenceforth wore at the recital of his daily prayer, The boy then bee came a visible member of the Jew- ish Church, and was called "a son of the law." Jesus had formerly seen his parents go yearly to Jer- usalem, leaving him at home; now he went up with them tor the first time, It was his first communion season, We know that our Lord in his boyhood had never attended the schools of the rabbis (Mark 6: 2; John 6: 42) and therefore his later teaching was absolutely original. We know that he had learned to write (John 8: 6). We know that he was 'acquainted not only with Aramaic, but with Hebrew, Greek, and perhaps Latin; and that he had been deeply impressed by the lessons of nature. 43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, --the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not; 44, but suppose him to be in the company, they wont a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquain- tance: 45. and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. 46. And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, Sitting is the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47. and all that heard him were am- azed at his understanding and his answers, These were ordinary rab- bis ready to teach at any time. They sat cross-legged on the floor like their pupils. The teaching took place in one of the many temple halls open to all and used for this purpose. It is the worst mistake of all to entitle the scene "Jesus Teaching in the Temple." Luke says not one word about his teach- ing. He listened, and asked respect- ful questions. Jesus here is a well- trained boy, who knows his place and acts with respect toward these rabbis. But even so, all who were listening were in amazement again and again at the understanding with which his mind grasped their combined thoughts, and with which he replied to the questions address ed to him, revealing his inner grad of the truth. 48, And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mothc,r said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrow- ing. 49. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew yet not that I must be in my Fath- er's house? 50, And they understood not the saying which he snake we to them. These words of the boy Jesus are the first words of which we have knowledge that paGsed tips lips of our Lord. 51. And he went down with theist, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them; and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. From this moment Jesus possesses within' him this Ideal of life entire- ly devoted to the kingdom of God. Now for the next eighteen years ha applied himself in silence to the business of his earthly father at Nazareth, where he was called "the carpenter."' 52, And Jesus advanc- ed in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men, She Found The Dahlias Irresistible The beautiful dahlias in the Empress Hotel garden at Victoria, B.C., were irrestible to Miss Victoria EbbsCanavan who couldn't pass by until she got permission to snip a few. Miss Ebbs -Canavan is the daughter of a pioneer family and calls Victoria home but for the past four years she hasebeen studying at Lausanne, Switzerland. —C,P.R, Photo. Farm Notes . . . Bacon for Britain Grown at a Profit Only healthy, vigorous litters grow into prime bacon, the kind that Britain expects of Canada and proves most profitable to the producer. The "runt" seldom re- pays the cost of raising it and never becomes a "select". Sym- ptoms of diseases common to young pigs are hairlessness, rick- ets and anaemia. Prevention starts with the brood sow whose ration throughout the year should con- tain a well balanced mineral sup- plement providing calcium and phosphorus against rickets and nutritional disorders, iron against anaemia and iodine against hair- leasness. To withhold the mineral supplement until the sow farrows is folly. These minerals are not transmitted in the milk to any extent but are to the embryonic young. A suitable mineral supplement in the ration of the growing bacon hog will enable the animal to make better use of cheap home- grown feeds consisting largely of cereals with a source of protein added. A feeder who mixes his rations with brains! said he could make a profit with hogs at five cents a pound. Super -Suspicious A detachment of Royal Can- adian Engineers making a sur- vey in the Collingwood dis- trict certainly had its troubles. Suspicious citizens, it appears, saw the party at work and tele- phoned the police asking that they be investigated, "Even our uniforms didn't keep us from suspicion," Sgt. - Major W. Demary said. I RADIO I 136 -YEAR-OLD PRAYER The other midnight we were turning the dial when we heard a voice praying, speaking words that seemed particularly appropriate at thin time, and we listened — them we were surprised to hoar that the prayer for the British fleet and for all Europe had been written by a great English leader one hundred and thirty-five years ago. These are the words we heard— May the great God whom I wor- ship grant to my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory: and may no misconduct in anyone tar- nish It; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature In the British fleet! For myself Individually, I commit my life to Him that made me; and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen, Amen, Amen. This simple prayer for Admiral Lord Nelson was written by him In his diary on the eve ot the battle et Trafalgar, October 21st, 1805, and because ot its fitting thought for these dark days CKOC closes its day each midnight with Nelson's prayer.

Eddie Cantor is back on the air lanes every Wednesday evening at nine o'clock (standard time) with a line-up of stars that should really have a good show to offer, Dinah Shore, one of the most popu- lar singers on the air, Harry Von Zell, Bobby Sherwood and leis band, and Nan Rae and Maude Davis, the best team of "Fem" comics in the business, are all in Eddie's new program, It's on the NBC red not - work.

Safety Pointers For Pedestrians Ten Rules Are Laid Down For Guidance, By Industrial Accident Protection Assocla- tion An' illustrated poster issued by the Industrial Accident Preven- tion Associations outlines a "de- calogue of safety" designed es- pecially for pedestrians, Here are the ten points it stresses: CROSS ONLY AT SIDE- WALKS — Tho record in many cities indicates that it is five times more dangerous to cross in the middle of the block than at the corner. WAIT ON THE SIDEWALK— Impeding the visibility and pro- gress of motor vehicles and risk- ing injury to yourself by stand- ing in the street while waiting for an opportunity to cross is foolhardy. CROSS ON THE PROPER SIGNAL — Traffic lights are for all traffic pedestrians as well as motorists. Don't expect the me- torist to obey them if you aren't willing to do so. BE SURE THE WAY IS CLEAR — Wait until a closely approaching car has passed, or until the driver has given you the right of way. Never step between two cars in close -parked traffic. 13E DOUBLY ALERT DUR- ING THE FIRST FEW STEPS— Seventy-five percent. fo pedes- trians in accidents are hit before reaching the middle of the road- way with absent-mindedness the greatest single cause. CROSS WITHIN THE CROSS- WALK — Seconds and steps saved by skirting the cross -walk or crossing diagonally aro not( worth the chances you take with your life. WALK, DON'T RUN — Need- less hurry afoot is often as dan- gerous as needless speed in a car. Don't start across unless you are sure you can make it safely at a walk. ON RURAL ROADS, WALK FACING TRAFFIC — This en- ables you to watch oncoming traffic and to step off the pave- ment and out of the way in an emergency. Two pedestrians are killed walking with traffic for every one killed walking against it. AFTER DARK, WEAR SOME- THING WHITE — You protect yourself by making certain you will be seen, especially when walking along rural highways at night. Wear a white shirt, shoes or dress — or carry a light, an open handkerchief, or a news- paper. LOOK TWICE BEFORE CROSSING -- And you'll prob- ably live twice as long. Single Ounce Can Boil 1,000 Tons Uranium is an element one million times deadlier than dyna- mite. Scientists tell us that the energy contained in one ounce will boil a thousand tons of water, and they are trying to liberate the energy stored in uranium so that we may have a cheaper form of power than ever before, • But pure uranium is so deadly.that it has caused the decomposition} of nitncgen oxide when exposed to it at a considerable distance. The disintegrating effect upon human tissue is even greater, so all ex- ' perimemts must be conducted with great caution ° and for safety • minute quantities of diluted ur- anium .are used, THIS CURIOUS WORLD SUGAR. iS ONE OF THE, FEiN SU BSTANCE.S THAT MODERN SCIENCE HA BEEN UNABLE 'TO MAKE ART/- F/C/ALLY./ By William Ferguson • ::�#xw'C:i:. lam. .gyp' 1 � T4 -1E. { �E • °a HORNW LIVES ON B/ROS, M/CE, AND' FROGS, ANUND MWIALLNS/ ATTACHC OF SOUTH AMERICA, OSPREYS SOMETIMES CARRY OFF ARTICLES OF ' CLOTH! , THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT UNGUARDED t<i BYTHE OWNERS 1037SYNEA8ER CE.iiii:'+„"`” < s sA1,..,, l� ONE recorded instance of osprey thievery ended very diff. astrously.

Biotin, a colorless crystal, has been a chemical mystery for two years since the Netherlands sci- entists, F. Kogel and 13. Tonnes, extracted a barely visible quan- tity from 250,000 year-old Chin- ese duck egg yolks. Biotin proves to be part of the vitamin B "complex." It is so powerful, it is measured in thous- ands of a millionth of a gram. Without it, soil germs, the azo- tebacter, which fix nitrogen for plant growth, are unable to work. This fixation is the base of all plant life, and therefore biotin probably is a primary source of all the food on earth. "WETTER" WATER WORKS A discovery that the chemicals which make "wetter" water are good for killing numerous kinds of deadly germs was reported to the bicentennial conference of the University of Pennsylvania. These chemicals are known as wetting agents. They make water so "wet" that it penetrates to the skins of birds and even of water fowl. Some new forms of soap were found in the sante discovery to have exactly similar germ kill- ing powers. "BAKED" GRAY MATTER A discovery that skilled surgi- cal operations can be performed on the gray matter of the brain with nothing but an electrical cur- rent, has just been reported. The skull is, not opened, but merely touched with the tip of an electric wire. The current does not remove the gray matter, but sifieetively, bakes and destrroys it. • HAVE • 1 YOU HEARD?' A man met a neighbour carrying a bag of apples. "I've got to leave town for six days," he explained, "so I'm giving the wife an apple for each day I'm away." "What a charming thought!" "Yea. Before I knew her she us- ed to be friendly with the local doctor.!" —� "In the Arctic they live on candles and blubber." "Well, if I had to eat candles I think I would, too." • —0— A young man was a frequent caller at a house where there were four slaughters, but it was impos- sible to say which of them he pre- ferred. Ono evening the eldest sister, Agatha, happened to be the only one in the house, and consequently she had the young man to herself. "Agatha, you look tired," he said. "I am a littlo," she replied, and wondered what might be coming next, "You see, I made an enor- mous batch of cakes and pies. Mother prefers my baking to the cook's. I also made a few pots of jam. Father's fond of jam. And 1 have done all the housework, too." "Fine!" said the young man, Then he went on ardently: "Ag- atha, there is a question I want to ask you, and my life's happiness may depend on your answer." "Well, ask 'away," smiled Ag- atha, blushing. "If I marry one of your younger sisters, will you consent to make your home with us?" —0— One wit explains that Adam and Eve probably were on a telephone line in the garden of Eden, and their number was 281 Apple. —0— A,little boy surprised his parents by refusing to be scared into being good. "It's no use telling me the ang- els will write down in their books if I'm naughty, mamma," he said. "I might as well tell you they think up in heaven that I'm dead," "But why should they think that?" "Because I haven't said my pray- ers for two weeks," Stop, Look, Listen !

How can I protect the wall paper from the wet cloth when cleaning the woodwork? A, Use a flat piece of tin about a foot long, moving itt along the wall against the board as the work progresses. An old auto license plate is excellent for this purpose. Q. How can I treat a warped ironing board? A, The board can be straight- ened if the covering is reversed to the other side for awhile, Q. How can I remove ink spots from the fingers? A. Rub the fingers with the in- side of a banana peeling. Q, How can I revive flowers that have begun to wilt? A. Whet! the flowers have be- gun to wilt, cut the stems and plunge them lento hot 'water for a few minutes. Trine the stems a little each day and slit them to enable the flower to absorb more water, Q. How can I remove glue from furniture or fabric? A, Remove the glue by dipping a cloth in vinegar and rubbing hard. If the glue has hardened, keep wetting it with vinegar and when softened, rub it off. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE I 1. Isn't is considered bad manners and rude for a guest to refuse a drink when in the home of a .friend? 2, le it good manners to chew gum in public? 3, Should a son be taught to lot his sister go through a door first? 4. Is there any way possible to stop a person who is always gos- siping and speaking evil of others? 5. What is the correct distance from the dinner table that a per- son's waist should be, not to be too far or too close? 6. Would it be all right for a debutante to wear a pink gown at her coming-out party? Answers 1. Not in the least. There is nothing compulsory about it, and only a person who is weak will be influenced to do something that he or she does not want to do. 2, No, it is not, even if it is seen fifty times a day. Nor does it add to the beauty of a girl's face or the handsome features of an Apollo, 3. Yes. If a boy is taught these courtesies at home, they will come natural to him when he is elsewhere. 4, Perhaps Hare answers this question by saying, "When will evil speakers refrain from evil talking. When listeners refrain from evil hearing." b. About eight inches. 6. White is the most appropriate color.

Vitamins and Health In a recent number of the (To- ronto) Academy Bulletin, Dr, Frederick Tisdall contributes an instructive atricle on Vitamins. Ho points out that according to the figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, approxi- mately 94% of the caloric intake of Canadian people, based on an average daily intake of 3000 cal- ories, is practically devoid of vitamins. There is considerable evidence that Canadians suffer most from lack of the vitamins B1, D and sometimes vitamin C. A restric- tion in diet will accentuate this condition. During the progress of an infection the need for most vitamins is markedly increased, A similar need is seen during preg- nancy and lactation when the de- mand is doubled. Under ordinary conditions, if the individual takes a diet con- sisting of a pint to a pint and a half of milk a day for children, one half a pint for adults, some meat, an egg a day, two liberal helpings of vegetables besides po- tato, some raw fruit, some whole grain cereals, either in the form of brown bread or breakfast cer- eals, and some vitamin D, (cod- liver oil or its equivalent), In the months from September to June, he will be using all the known vitamins in adequate amounts. Under unusual conditions as in illness, pregnancy, lactation and any dietary restrictions, it may he necessary to give vitamins in their concentrated form, Dr, Tisdall discusses vitamins in considerable detail, About 15 vitamins have so far been demon- strated from animal experimental work, Nine have been shown ne- cessary for human nutrition, NEW ANDGER QBE tER? Bird Dogs Enter Fall Field Trials Ontario Association Expects Big Crowds on Niagara -on - the -Lake the Middle of Oct- ober The fall field trails of the On- tario Bird Dog Association will be held. at Niagara -on -the -Lake, October 19th and 20th, are the dates set.

Toner, Ontario Federation of Anglers Preserve Muskies In my last article a short re- sume of the natural history of the muskie was given, mainly as a background for the present ar- ticle. The most important point in the conservation of the muskie is the protection of the spawning fishes. They run up into shal- low water to lay their eggs and at such times are particularly vul- nerable to the poachers. CRIMINAL POACHING Most of us would regard as very foolish any farmer who killed his cows just before they freshened. If this were a continued practice with him he would soon be with- out stock on his farm. The peoeher when he takes the muskies on their spawning grounds is killing our stock, robbing the public just as surely as if he took money from individual pockets. Another way in which destruc- tion of maskinonge takes place is through the lowering of the waters in .late spring. When the spring floods are on, the adult muskies work well into the marshes to spawn. Here the water is warm and the eggs will ' develop rapidly. But far too of- ten these flood waters are need- ed to run the mills and they are allowed away through the sluices. The eggs of the maskinonge, or the young fish, if they have batched, are left high and dry for the birds. We are still studying these fishes so that we may know better ways to conserve then and this research can be left to the sci- entist. However, every conserva- tionist can help to control the poacher and the water levels. They are the important matters at the present time. Incidentally, the finest fishing picture I have ever seen was shown at the American Fisheries Society in Toronto by Wm. Lang of the Toronto Anglers. It dealt with the muskie and was in full colour. Get your local fieh and game association to invite Mr. Lang to show his pictures in your town, You will help along the ea i Se of conservation and you will certainly not be disappointed in the pictures. The Book Shelf "AS 1 REMEMBER HIM" (The Biography of R. S.) By Hans Zinsser The author of "Rats, Lice and History" here gives us the infor- mal biography of a physician by the name of "R. S." (in reality himself) who was also a philoso- pher, a poet, and a good friend. Medicine took R. S. to the far corners of the earth. Wherever there were war and infection, there he was found In Siberia in 1914-15, in the American Army in France, in Russia after the great famine, in Mexico and in Chinn, he fought as a scien- tist. Last month as Hans Zinsser he died of an obscure disease, leukemia, after living for two years in the knowledge that it was slowly killing him. He tells his story in a fascinating way, with deep learning and salty wit; and his book now becomes a mag- nificent memorial to a very hu - ma man who led an extremely useful and interesting life.

These informants said the National Bank was considering the ques- tion of who holds title to the gold. IN GOLD COINS It was said that Carol had en- ` ''•esuntered difficulty with the Spazi.i government and that his passe through Spain to Portu- gal hacrbeen delayed. At the same time it was disclosed that the Rumanian government has taken steps to •have Ernest Ur- darianu, who was minlgter of state without portfolio under Carol, re- turned to stand trial. "Savior of Britain" Decorated by King Hugh Dowding, chief of Britain's fighter command, RIGHT, has been made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Idolized by his junior officers who affectionately refer to him as "Stuffy," Sir Hugh is credited with Britain's stiff resistance to the Nazis in the air. In the face of severe opposition and criticism he convinced the air coun- cil to put eight synchronized machine-guns on the British fighter planes and thus gained for them a marked superiority over the Nazis. THE WAR •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events JAP-AXIS PACT PLACES RUSSIA, U. S. ON S P O T Though many may have anti- cipated its signing, the momentous tripartite agreement entered into last week by Germany, Italy and Japan, made the rest of the world catch its breath. With the an- nouncement of the pact, the con- flicts raging in Europe, Africa and the Far East swiftly became one. The Second World War was a reality. World War Begins 'Of the six great powers left upon the globe, four were already in it. The United States and Rus- sia, remaining, were now on the spot. Of these two victims of the Jap -Axis "squeeze play," the United States was already throw- ing its weight on the side of Brit- ain; and Russia, the uncertain quantity, held the balance of power between the two blocs, de- mocratic and anti -democratic. Russia Holds Balance Which way would Stalin jump? To join with Britain against Ger- many? If the U.S.S.R. were to enter the struggle, more than half the German air force would have to operate in eastern Europe, plus a tremendous mechanized army consuming vital gasoline supplies—the defeat of Germany would be certain. (Russia in the meantime, however, would have to be fighting Japan at her back door), To join with the new Triple Alliance against the British -U.S. bloc? Very unlikely. It would be much more reasonable to place credence in the statement of the Russians themselves, that the So- vit Union would remain firmly neutral. Signing of a non -aggres- sion pact with Japan would be a definite possibility. Again, Russia might lend more and more sup- port to sore -pressed Chinn, let- ting Japan bleed herself white trying to conquer the Chinese. U.S. Accepts Challenge The United States, far from be- ing scared off by new Japanese threats, last week moved closer still to her ally -except -in -name, Britain. Washington corridors buzzed with talk of "flying fort- resses" to go abroad in exchange for British bases in the Pacific; loans of money to England; fur- ther U.S.-British co-operation in the Far East. Stronger hints were forthcoming that the United States might soon accept the challenge of Japan, now so badly bogged -down in China. The col- lapse of the Rising Sun Empire could be brought about by a strict American embargo on war supplies, aid to China, and a blockade of the passages from the Indian Ocean in the Pacific. But not until after the November el ctions, anyway .. . Indian Summer Invasion? Meantime what was happening in the Battle of Britain? A Nazi invasion seemed less probable than it had the previous week. British defense against air bomb- ings were obviously improving, while the R.A.F. offensive against the Nazis was growing stronger. But everyone was convinced that the air war would continue throughout the winter, with the Germans attempting to wear down the British air force and shut off England from food and war supplies from overseas while Nazi military operations develop- ed on fronts farther distant. Another big crisis this month was nevertheless expected by the head amen in London. Predicting an Axis campaign against Gib- raltar in October coupled with an Indian summer attempt to invade IEngland, Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express said: "The most likely Axis strategy would be thrusts at Gibraltar (with Spain's connivance) and Bizerte (French Tunisia), in an effort to draw the British home fleet to the Medi- terranean and leave the English Channel less hazardous for invas- ion barges." Southern Theatre May Decide Also on Killer's program, ex- perts last week agreed, were ex- tension of political, or possibly military, control over the Balkans; substantial contribution to the Italian drive towards the Suez Canal. Hitler might also be con- templating, they said, an invasion of Sweden this winter to clinch his hold on iron ore supplies and to give Russia something more to worry about; engineering of a Moslem revolt against Britain; and seizure of French colonies in Africa, from which to launch at- tacks on outposts of the British Empire,—although if the British made another attempt at Dakar, they might beat hint to it, "Time" Newsmagazine, Sept. 30, declnred: "If the Battle of Britain should turn edversely for the Axis, or if it should become a long drawn-out affair of bomb- ings and blockade, the Southern Theatre night well be the deciding area of combnt .. 'If the Axis could gain control of the extremi- ties of the Mediterranean, Britain's fight would be far harder, might be impossible. Without the oil fields of. Iraq, without tenable bases in the Mediterranean to harry the Axis on its southern flank, without the help of the Moslem world and without the last shred of support in the Bal- kans, Britain would be hard put to it to win." Whither China? China, in. its fourth year of resistance to the Japanese ag- gression, last week faced with comparative equanimity the new- est turn of affairs whereby Ja- pan was enabled to attack her in the rear through French Indo - Chinn, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was determined to hang on till the end. He still had en- ough ammunition left for another yenr of fighting; the morale of the Chinese army was never high- er. But within the inner councils of the Chungking government it was felt that aid would have to eonle to Chinn from somewhere outside. Were Britain and the United States really ready to help in a substantial way? Or, would China turn in finality to Russia? These were her two alternatives. "Escape" School Taught Nazis Enemy Prisoners Were Taught In Advance How to Pick Lock and Dig Tunnels; Two of Gestapo In Canadian Internment Camp ()eyeful investigation of German war prisoners in Canada has shown that a number of them are grad- uates of a German school organized for the epecltic purpose of teach- ing prisoners how to escape. Preparing In advance for their soldiers being captured, the Ger- mans held classes in lock picking, tunneling, and other ways of break- ing out of camps. In one Canadian Damp there are at least twenty men who have learned scientific ways of opening locks without keys. Two of them are members of the German Gestapo. Authorities are now able to ex- plain how a tunnel was completed for Gunther Lorentz's escape from a Muskoka camp without a pile of earth disclosing excavation opora- tlone.

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 le 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 -leer cousin, Mr. Collins, rushed up to then, "Mr. Darcy!" he cried, "Do you know that -your aunt, Lady de Brough is my patroness?" "Indeed?" Darcy's tone was dead. ly. "You will be happy to learn," Collins gushed on, "that wheu 1 left her two weeks ago, your graci- ous Aunt was enjoying the best of health—" Disdaining to reply, Darcy bow- ed to Elizabeth and strode off. "Oh, her. Collins," cried • Eliza- beth in anguish, "Why did you give 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 fo()d 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 verything was all right, you know," "How thoughtful, of you," she murmured, • There ensued several seconds of silence.

Your word will have more influence with him than anything—" He nodded, "We're like a pair of conspirators," 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 aro 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 aro 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. COLOR IN CASUALTYPES Blues carry on in subtle new tones, clear and brightish. The greyed casts 'of blue should be good for sportswear and. later for dresses under coats, Reds continue in richer tones with beautiful shades of wine that have depth of color and sparkle. Greys have taken to darker hues. like gunmetal and stroke tones, as well as darkish mix- tures, Gold (an old gold tone), plum, violet, grape, purple and prune are some of the high fashion col- ors for limited selling.
