By HELEN KENDALL IN OPEN-AIR SEWING ROOM

The day was a heavenly mild one, with fresh odor of spring about it, and the mother-o three sat cooped up within doors with a pile of spring sewing to be done. Dresses for the two small daughters, petticoats and boomers; blouses for the boy, frocks and aprons for herself. The sewing room had no pleasant outlook, for although it was light and airy, it's one window gave a view upon the side wall and garage of neighbours house.
 She found herself wishing that she might take her sewing out under the trees. And I would, too, if it wasn't for the machinew she said to herself, as she went into her pretty bedroom for paper of pins. And there, in the doorway. the idea uf her outdoor sewing room came to her. Just beyond the bedroom was the sleeping porch an unusually large one, only part of the space being taken up by the beds. Why not move the sewing machine out here, with her standing sewing basket. and a small table Tor cutting out, and do all her work out here?
 A few minutes later. with the he,n or her Powerful katrinka- in the kitchen. the transfer was made, and q Joytul matron breathed deep as she pasted and tucked and hemmed. The branches of tree just beyond the porch waved back and forth the avn ing flaps moved gently. and across the road she could see the grass and flowers and trees of a neighboring place. She could not be seen from the street, as the sleeping porch was at thes lde of the house and concealed by rather high half wall.
 Here, in the cool seclusion of the porch, she tried on Sissy's new party dress, or put the finishing touches on her own sheer wash frocks At nlgnt the machine was pusnel far back against the house wall and GOV cred with a large piece of black oil cloth, to protect it from. possible dampness. The sewing porch be- came one of the most popular spots in the house. both to her and inc cbiI- dren, who didn't mind trying on" if one could see the antics of "Tiger,"" neighbours dog, at the sanie time.

 SPICED GRAPES

This dish is always reminiscent to me of low New England farmhouses. with green blinds. You know the kind-set far back from the road. among tall trees, with hollvhocks. rose geraniums and old fashioncd pinks Tn the garden. When 1 see such house (and l can some etimes by closing my eyes) I can always smell the pungent scent of spiccd grapes, cooking away on an immac- ulate kitchen range.
 This is the rule for making spiced grapes-a rule that most New Eng land families seem to follow:
 To seven pounds of grapes there should be added these materials three pounds of granulated sugar, one cup Of vinegar, two tablespoon fuis of ground cinnamcn and one ta tablespoonful of ground cloves.
 Weigh the grapes. wash and pulp them. Cook the pulp until the seeds are loosaned, then press the mass through seive. Cook the skins just as long as you cook the pubs. Put them on the same stove, but in sepa- rate kettles.
 Add lhe strained pubs to the skins add the vinegar, sugar. and spices. And cook until the mixture Chickens.
 This. when served with cold meat. changes commonplace supper of left-overs into feast.

 Yes. please do," said the girl.
 Matters were not bit as she had supposed they would be, she told her self. while Muir called up Samuel 70 Dayton, who lived near by and asked him to como around within the hour She had taken 1t for granted that 1t would be simple thing for her fath- CTS property to be handed over to her.

Squaring
 the
 In-Law Triangle

If a survey of real throbbing heartaches could be made, 1t would be found that in-laws cause most of the trouble in the world.
 Gseat tragedies, great sorrows. are to endure, are not so soul-wear- ing and do not so poison all life as does the constant. daily. hourly fric- ton between in-laws who hate each other.
 Statistics show that mothers-in- law are the chief cause of divorce, and that in innumerable other fam lilies that never get quite to the di- vorce court, the perpetual wrangling between mother-inlaw and son-in law and son-in-law, or mother-in- law and daughter Jaw, makes the home place of torment and strife.
 The fear of the in-law is the skele ton at every marriage feast. It is what makes the bride and the bride groom turn pale as they look at the new mothers they are acquiring. and 1t is what causes the mothers to quake with fear as they gaze upon the young creatures who have it in their power to make them so miser able. and who are likely to make such brutal use of their power.
 Of course, no woman should go to live with her in-law. It Is a fool hardy risking of her own and her child's happiness. because in the con flict between & motherin law and a son-in-law, or a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, 1t is the womans own daughter or son who Is torn to pieces.
 Necessity. however, knows no law. and sometimes a woman Is bound to
