a. Long And Short - In Fur Coats They're Hip, Fingertip or Hem Length -- There's No Happy Medium Black Persian lamb, mink, black caracul, Alaska sealskin In safari browns und blacks -- beaver, fitch, opposum, nutria, kidskin and musk rat will be the fashion news of the hour this fall and winter, These are the furs to look for now. The length of your fur coat this year does not permit the hem of a skirt to seek out just a little bit, You buy a really long coat that cov ers the hemline of your dresses completely, or you get one that is at least six Inches shorter than your dress--preferably hip or fin- gertip length. . SWAGGER COATS Your new fur jacket will be long enough to cover the widest point across the hips (this, incidentally, is at least six Inches below the waistline), or else it will bo exactly waist length. Jackets, like coats, wre short or long--not somewhere between. Swagger coats don't billow out as they did last year. No matter how full the newest models are, they retain an effect of slimness in profile. Even those which have flaring fullness massed at the back are streamlined In profile. This, of course, is in line with the general trend toward the slimmer silhou- ette. * SMALL COLLARS Shoulders of fur coats do. not go up or out,.as they did a few sca- eons ago. They do not slope, but are straight, without extending be- yond the normal outline of the up- per arm. Collars remain small. Many coats, both long and short, huve no collars at all, _-Jack-o'-Lantern Yum-Yums '--By Frances Lee -Barton--.

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 pride in his family and rank, prejudices Eliz- abeth against him despite the fact that they are warmly drawn to each other. Darcy finds Elizabeth's family impossible. Her genteel father is completely overshadowed by her vulgar, scheming mother, ad her sisters, outside of Jane. Mary is a pretentious hore. Lydia and Kitty are unmannerly bolster- ous. Elizabeth is completely incens- ed at Darcy's treatment of Géogge Wickham whom he refuses to meet. She credits his refusal to the fact that Wickham Is the son of Darcy's late steward. Darcy, disgusted with the Bennet family Influences Bing: ley against Jane. Jane Is heart- broken. Then Darcy realizes that family or no, he cannot conquer his honest love for Elizabeth, He proposes and she rejects him with contempt, CHAPTER NINE Famlly 8kelton And then tragedy overtook the entire Bennet household. Lydia, without bothering to stop for a marriage license, eloped to London with George Wickham. Mrs. Bennet took to her bed, overwhelmed by the disgrace 'Which followed in the wake of her dn ter's mad caprice. Not only did t" o elopment set Lydia Outside tag pale, its scandal ruined forever all chance of marriage for her four other daughters. Jane, returning from London, and Elizabeth, back from her visit to Charlotte, accepted this result with grim silence. Since Bingley was lost to her, Jane had no interest in hus: bands, Elizabeth, having flatly re- fused Darcy's offer to marriage, settled her mind to the fact that she'd live and die a spinster. Through Charlotte's husband, Mr. Collins, Darcy heard of the scandal. His immediate reaction was to take the first coach to Mery- ton, and upon arrival, set out at - once for-the Bennet home. Mary - rushed to tell Elizabeth that Darcy was. in the parlor wait- ing to speak to her, ~ Darcy rose from his chair as she entered. -- "Mr, Darcy!" she greeted, her tone gharp with angry defiance. "May I ask what has brought you here?" His Own Sister "Feel no alarm, Madam," he re- plied coldly. "I have no intention of reopening the painful subject of marriage. After what you said the other day,.that chapter is de- finitely closed." He paused, and _his_volce, when he again spoke, was gentle. "Bad news travels fast, Miss Bennet. A few hours after you left the Collins' home I heard about George Wickham and your sister. 1 felt it my duty to come at once. "To triumph over us, I suppose," sho answered bitterly. "To offer my services," he said kindly. Her amazed stare gaye him - momentary pause,, "Miss Bennet," he continued, "I told you the other day that, where Wickham was con- cerned, I chose to be silent, What has happened to your sister has made me change my mind. You have a right to know the truth' about Wickham, One must know the worst in order to be able to guard agalnst It. Your sister's case was not the first, Miss Bennet." 'Elizabeth paled., "Do you mean that Wickham has done this be fore?" she cried. . "To my own sister," he said un- happily. "Your sister?" Elizabeth's unjust accusations against Darcy in re- gard to his attitude toward Wick- ham swept through her, Her acute distress that he should now be. forced to take her Into his con- fidence on a mattef so painful and personal to him, made her speech- * less with grief and regret. "My sister, Georglana, was only fitteen when she fell under Wick. ham's spell," he sald heavily, "She has a considerable fortune in her own right, His plan was to elope with her and then, under the threat of publishing her disgrace, to force the maiden and the other for the lover, are laid -in the fire side by side.

By the mercy of Providence, I dis- covered the plot in time, Your sis- ter has heen less fortunate." Words of Comfort? A painful silence fell between' them, ba Darcy finally broke..it. "Miss Bennet, may I ask if everything possible is being done to recover your sister?" Elizabeth averted her face, try- {ng to master her tears. "My father -has gone to London, He and my uncle are searching for her."
