Paramount for a contract. They

REMODELING HINTS.
/Fro71 D T.. HUnttSfHIIe,

The request of Mrs. r. T. Airing
ton, for information on lengther-
ing tailored suits prompted me to
write list of sewing hints that have
been on my mind for several
weeks. The following are tricks OF
the trade" I have used successfully
as a dressmaker for many years.
Remodeling ideas In publications
when they do appear are at best
vague because it is the individual
garments line design that dictates
what can be done with 1t. The
most important thing to remember
in any remodeling job is that 1t
must not LOOK made over.
A suit skirt can be heightened by
taking off the band and inserting
it either in the front or the back
as a gore. This depends on the
individuals figure also-put 1t in
where 1t is needed but keep the
side seams on the side. At the top
then add a piece Of matching fab
ric or grosgrain ribbon, putting In
darts to fit the waistline. With this
type of skirt an over blouse Is
worn. With the new length, almost
any figure can wear an overblouse,
which the jacket covers, Of course,
when it is worn. A light weight
wool suit can be made into q long
torso dress by removing lapels
and interfacing and facings. The
facings can be Used to insert pleats
in the front and back to lower
the skirt over the hips. then sew
ing the top to the skirt. Front
closing can be as you wish 1t but q
long Upper gives smooth unbroken
line-add q little stand-up collar
or leave 1t round or v-neck which,
ever your figure calls for.
If you are going to remodel some
thing made originally for some one
else take 1t apart and wash 1t If 1t
will wash and put 1t back together.
after cutting 1t to fit you, wrong
side out. Most plain fabrics can be
turned inside out and have never
seen a wool that could not be worn
on the wrong side. Even badly
worn woolens still have the nap
or the little short hairs still in
tact on the wrong side.
Dresses or suit jackets or coats
that have the out of date high
shoulder line with the dart or
gathered sleeve can be altered by
removing the sleeve and recutting
it with one of the deep armhole pat
terms which do set high on the
shoulder but rely on the shoulder
pad to set the line rather than the
armhole seam itself. You can piece
the underside Of the sleeve.
Some dresses that will not take
lengthening can be cut off to
make overblouses nicely. If you
don't own skirt marker, buy one
Put it on the table to mark the
hem line in jackets or over
blouses-they have to hang cor
rectly, too. If you don't own a
dress form, by all means get one
even if 1t is the kind you get your
husband to tape on you. I used one
for years before I thought 1 could
afford one of the more expensive
ones.

Old?
By Josebhine Lowman

Men laugh outwardly at women
and about their reducing exercises.
Many of them pretend to skepticism
about such vigorous attacks on
beauty and prolonged youthfulness.
However, they themselves are very
conscious of bay window If they
have one and even slip away to
write me letter, asking that send
their wives my hip or abdominal re-
ducing exercises. I am always hesi-
tant about answering these requests,
since the wife herself has not re-
uuested the exercises. I sometimes
wonder if wives think have scouts
out looking for women with big
stomachs or hips. However, when
the man sends a stamped envelope
feel I should send reply. So far,
I have had no kickbacks There
fore, I suppose the man confesses.
For some strange reason physical
attractiveness In women has been
played up, while a man who Is in
terested in personal appearance has
been dubbed vain or effen1inate.
This situation has changed greatly
during the past few years. Some of
the most successful, vital and youth
full middle e-aged men know take
health care and figure control and
exercise seriously.
One masculine friend we have has
done 10 minutes of setting-up exer-
Cises every morning for years and
years. He is fit and slim and has
no incipient bulges. Man as well as
woman requires daily exercise. Most
men are too busy to spend hours
each day in outdoor exercise. There
fore, short exercise period at home,
morning or night, is most beneficial.
Most men today work under pres
sure. The pace of the man in busi-
ness is great, whether he works for
q company or for himself Compe-
tition is an ever-present factor. He
should take exercise as wonderful
relaxer 1t doesn't require lot OF
expensive or laborious equipment. 1t
Just takes a little will power and
determination. The perfect setup
would be outdoor sports and daily
exercises at home, with both fitted
to the age and capacity OF the in
dividual man.

pressure-cooked. You can make O
fish pudding, a fish stew or q ash
soup. Shellfish can be cooked under
pressure, too.
II your fish is very large, 1t muss
be fllleted or cut into sections be-
fore being put into the cooker.
Whenever you can. 1t is best TO use
the f1lleted fish, for all bones are
removed and it is far less trouble
to prepare. Small fish can be cleaned
and cooked whole. Shellfish are
steamed in the shell, without COM
ing in contact with the water In
the cooker-which, I might add,
does a lot towards keeping their
full flavor and tenderness.
To pan" fillets, fish steaks and
small whole fish, melt tablespoons
butter or margarine in the cooker
and saute the fish in this until
delicately Drowned on both sides.
Take the fish out and put the rack
in the cooker. Pour in half q cup
hot water, put the fish on the rack
and season with salt and pepper,
If you have lot of fish, put parcf-
ment paper between the layers.
Close the cooker, bring to Is pounds
pressure and process 6 minutes
per pound for pieces of Ash that
are an inch thick. Thinner pieces
would need only 5 minutes to the
pound.
Serve the fish with any sauce you
like or simply with melted butter
and lemon juice.
You also may pressure-poach fl
lets and small fish such as smelts.
Put half an inch of water In the
cooker, bring to boiling point and
drop in the fish. Close cooker,
bring to Is pounds pressure and
process minutes for very small
fish and 6 minutes for inch-thick
fillets.
You can bake fish, with or with
out stuffing, in the cooker. If tbs
fish is small enough so that II
doesn't have to be cut, bend 1t In
a circle to fit within the cooker.
Lightly brown the fish on both sides
IN butter.
Put the rack in the cooker and
