Here is a novel and pleasing way to pre-
pare dessert. 1t is especially adapted for
the children's birthday dinners in those
happy households where such days are kept
as Joyous festivals. Make small hole in
the end or side of number of egg Shells
Through this pour out the egg. Fill the
empty shells with hot pudding, made of
cornstarch, arrowroot Or Irish moss. When
cold break off the shells; serve on small
saucers and surround the egg shaped pud-
ding with jelly or jam. If you wish to
| take so much trouble, divide the pudding
in two parts and add to one tablespoonful
of grated chocolate, and IN this way color
part of the eggs. Sugar and cream, fla
vored with vanilla, is a very nice sauce
with this kind of pudding.
Nice salad can be made by using veal,
| and the inexperienced housewife may be
reminded that there is as much difference
| in veal as in beef or chickens For the
salad choose lean and firm piece, boil it
until it is. tender, and then proceed as ii
you were making chicken salad, 1t is a
| good plan to prepare this some day when
| you are to have a chicken for dinner then
| the veal can be boiled in the same kettle
and will be favored with the chicken broth.
| Reserve some OF the broth when making
gravy for the chicken to moisten the salad
with.

by wearing the nicer varieties. A stock
ing which costs less than one would have
to pay good dyer for coloring it may be
harmless, but the presumption is against it.
