My daughter, a busy housewife and mother, recently wished to shorten her skirts. Having no dressmaking device nor person handy to help measure the skirts for the proper length, she got a red crayon and marked her.

knee at the'spot she wished her skirts to hit. Then with three other colors, she marked her leg at" one, two and three inches below the first mark. i When she tried' on each skirt or dress, she could tell by the color line on her leg just how much more she needed to shorten' the garment. And she told me that everything came to exactly the right length when finished. Wasn't that clever? Bragging Mother It's the bees knees! Just like I've said all along you galsj are unbeatable when it comes to practical solutions to household closed the program.

James Rathbone reminded members that this was the 150th anniversary year of the Odd! problems. And my hat's off to all of you! Couple an old-fashioned recipe with a modern product and you come up with a fine cake. Here it is, real old-time feather-light gingerbread made with today's pumpkin pie spice. We like the pumpkin pie spice for its excellent flavor and versatility. The following recipe--for what may just be the world's best gingerbread--is made with mixing bowl and wooden spoon.

No need even to turn on the electric mixer or beater if you are not so inclined. Serve this gingerbread fresh anu warm from the oven (or reheat it) as a delicious dessert. Top it with applesauce and whipped cream or just the cream Or serve it with a lemon sauce and a fluff of cream cheese beaten with a little cream or milk until it is airy- soft.

But if the floor must be insulated and heat provided, such should be the first step is taken in your two-step project.

One young couple began re- Through the years, some have modeling such a porch with the been widened from their original idea of screening Then it four feet or so. But today, space was decided to use the glass is so precious that it seems and screen panel idea so that a waste to maintain- such a the porch would be useful the little porch merely as a service year around, entrance, rubbish station or an airing area on- good days. It can be screened for summer use. It can be winterized with glass. If it is very small, it may be serviceable as a utility closet or pantry, useful storage places off a small kitchen.

The remodeling of such a porch need not be a big project, whether it is done professionally or by a do-it-yourselfer. It will need a roof, uprights, screens. The approximate cost should be figured before you begin. If the 'house roof has been re-shingled recently there may be shingles on hand. If you would like to winterize it some day, decide" whether it is within your financial scope at the moment to build the screened porch with that, jdea in 'mind, cutting the cost of future work.

In that case, you would build screen and glass panels that are removable. You would insulate the roof and perhaps you would do something about the floor. In a mild climate, the floor Plus Ultra Class Names Workers For Meeting NORTH BERWICK The Plus Ultra Class of the Congregational Church met Tuesday in the vestry. A covered dish supper was served by Mrs. Arlene Dutch.

Mrs. Stillings, Mrs. Margaret Masterson, Mrs. Lucy Moody and Mrs. Florence Ricker.

Following the supper, a devotional period was conducted by Mrs. Marion Littlefield and a short business meeting was held. The social hour was in charge of Mrs. Betty Gibson, who led the group in games, and a "spelling bee" won by Mrs. Ruth Stillings.

Elected to the supper committee for the March meeting were Mrs. Minnie Plaisted, Mrs. Janet Birch, Mrs. Lillian McCrellis and Mrs. Laura Tufts.

How to heat it? There was an 1 electrical outlet so that an electrical heating idea might have been utilized, but they mulled the idea over and decided to build a fireplace at one end. The porch, of course, does not resemble its original look only the space was utilized. But the owners feel that if they hadn't begun the project "with the porch they might not have been inspired to add such a cozy addition. It serves as den, dining room, sitting room, baby and puppy pen on occasions. They are under the impression that in turning an porch into an enclosed have a less expensive addition than they would have had if they added a one-room addition to their house from scratch.

They might have done everything in a more way plaster ceilings, fancy floors and walls andlight fixtures. Instead, the. room is casual with wood board ceiling, pine floors, candles, outdoor-indoor carpet and patio- style furniture. They, like fireplace Jdea because room can, be, heated when'if is to be used. Other times, it -is dosed off from adjacent rooms.

Many of these old porches need to be widened if they are to be put to the best use. The length usually runs from 10 to 15 feet. One drawback is that there is usually.no way -to get to them from within the. ihouse without going through kitchen. In doing an over-all remodeling plan, keep that fact in mind.

Can the porch be lengthened a bif and a door put into it from another room so that guests can reach it without going through kitchen? The answer may depend upon the time, effort and money you want to expend for such a project.
