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 bore, Lydia and Kitty are unmannerly bolster- ous. Elizabeth is completely incens- ed at Darcy's treatment of George Wickham whom he refuses to meet. She credits his refusal to the fact that Wickham is the sbn of Darcy's late stew®d. 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 TEN Elizabeth buried her face in her hands, What a tragle mistake she had made, How could she have so misjudged the man who meant so" much to her. Why had she not sensed. that not arrogance, nor pride, but some real and important reason had been . behind Darcy's continued contempt for Wickham. Jane found her weeping in the darkened room, "Elizabeth!" she cried. "What has happened? Did Mr. Darcy of- fend you in some way?" . Elizabeth shook her head. "Oh, ng, Jane. You don't understand. While I was visiting Charlotte, Mr. Darcy asked me to marry him--" "Lizzy! What did you say to him?" Learn To Dream "What did I say?" wept Eliza- beth, "I said I never wanted to seo him again. And now, suddenly, it's like having a kind of excruci- ating emptiness where one's heart ought to be, Oh, Jane. I love him 80 much. I'm so dreadfully un- happy." With great effort she con- trolled ~ herself. "How selflsh I'm being," she sobbed as she dried her eyes. "As If 1 were the only" one to be unhappy. Jane, my poor darling. You never did anything . wrong -- but look what happened Copyright 1940 by Loew's Inc. between you and Mr. Bingley, Oh, it's not fair." "I'm not really unhappy, Lizzy," Jane whispered. "It was worse at tho beginning when 1 was always expecting him to write, or even come back. But now I don't do that any more. 1 only dréam of him. You'll have to learn to dream, too, Lizzy. Like 1 do." And their arms about each other, the two sisters wept out their heartache. Mr, Beunet returned from Lon- don, his mission a failure. Lydia and Mr. Wickham were nowhere to be found. Now disgrace muddled the entire family with a vengeance. They were no longer in good stand- ing with thelr neighbors. They were refused admittance to Meryton's an- nual celebration, the Assembly Ball. Street boyd sang unedifying songs about Lydia and Wickham. It was no longer safe for the girls to shop in 'the village. Jeers and taunts followed them everywhere, And then, as unexpectedly as they had run away, so unexpected- ly did Lydia and George Wickham return, 3 They Were Married i Like the &illy, selfish, frrespon- sible child she was, Lydia-took no notice of the sorrowful straits to which she had reduced her family, All that was unimportant. Besides, everything was now changed. For Lydia and George. Wickham were married! More, George had suddenly como into a fortune! He was vague about its source; but Mrs. Bennet was too excited at this suddenly un- expected happy ending to tragedy, to press the point. Let the whole family rejoice! Her own little Ly- dia -- Lydia, who was just sixteen --was married! The baby cf the Bennet Family, was the wife of a handsome, dashing, and (Oh! bless- ed thought), rich army officer. Into the mad excitement of the family reunion, strode the dour and stern person of Lady Cath- erine de Brough, Darcy's aunt. She swept the Bennets with a baleful eye, dismissing the Intro- duction to Wickham with the re- mark that his father had served in" her family, offering acid com- ment in place of congratulations , to Lydia, and In general leaving bewlldered confusion and stunned hurt at her uninvited presence and highly offensive haughtiness, "Mrs. Bennet," she finally an- nounced, "I have come here sole- ly to speak wlth your daughter, Miss Elizabeth. And I should lik to talk to her alone,"- : Mrs. Bennet, 3 awed by the Importance of thé lady addressing her, hastily shooed her family~from the room. 4 As the door closed, Lady Cath- ering swung about and faced EI- fzabéth, _. "Miss Bennet," shoe began per- emptorily. "You.can be at no loss ° to understand the reason for my Journey hither, Your own eon- science must tell you that I have come to demand that you retract at once the rumor 'which has reach- ed me." ; i Elizabeth started at her in as- tonishment. "I have. been told," Lady Cath- erine continued severely, "that you, Miss Elizabeth Bennet. are shortly to be engaged to my nephew, Mr. Darcey."

As early as 1515, the reputation of Paris for elegance had spread throughout Europe and a little- later Shakespedre spoke of Paris when suggesting in "Hamlet" that a man is judged by the way he dresses. START OF RUFF Catherine de Medici of Franc: launched the famous "collerette" or pleated white ruff worn around the throat, Jealous courtesans suggested that her dressmaker 'made it because she had an ugly neck and wanted to hide the wrinkles, But the fad swept the continent and England, as did tha short skirt several centuries later. Men followed suit because Henry VIII had a scar on his chin he wanted to hide. The ruff reach- ed such an exaggerated size that it became impossible to raise a spoon to the mouth, That brought the long-handled spoon into be- ing. * FRENCH DOLLS CARRIED FASHIONS Although this collar is now called the "Mary Stuart" in iis modern form, the history of fash- ion says that Henry VIII's three chins gave his French couturier the inspiration for slashing the ruff down the front, In spring and autumn, French dolls carried Paris fashions to ail European courts... La Grande Pandora displayed robes suitable for balls and receptions; La Petite Pandora lingerie and gowns suitable for intimate pf ties "or suppers whose mo counterpart is the "housecoat." It was thus that Queen Elizu- beth several centuries ago chose a magnificent gown upon which - was 6,000 yards of hand-made lace. It was a crinoline so large the Queen could not pass through an-ordinary door." -- GAY APRON IS EASY ~~ TO MAKE By ANNE ADAMS If you're in active "at home" service, you'll appreciate a good- looking, well-fitting apron like Pattern 4588.
