A delicate way of cooking eggs this
season is to break them on little plates.

a little finely minced ham on each
egg. Put mere grain of cayenne

Whenever it is possible it is well to
keep separate closet for articles per-
tanning to ironing. Keep the irons,
starch, blueing. holders, boards. sheet,
blanket and other articles pertaining

be warm and dry and shut off from
the dust. If the ironing boards are
kept in closet in general use it is
best to put them in bags of bed tick

hang them up where they will be free
from dust and dirt If they are kept
in closet reserved for the ironing
material they need not be covered.
Tubs and ironing boards should be
kept in Il cold place, and there is no
objection to little dampuess.
