The So-cALLED EGGsPooSs that are broad
where the point should be and are pointed to-
ward the handle arc only right for eating
eggs when turned out into a cup. For eating
your egg from the she'll you require a spoon
with tapering point and deep, narrow bowl, a
coffea spoon, in fact. The other and broad
spoon is too clumsy to be introduced into the
shell, which is to be lightly broken at the top
Even the winter egg has a fresher taste when
you take it from the shell. In the great fancy
for spoons the eggspoon can be selected from q
silver gilt coffee set and then you have a bowl
that will not tarnish and that will equally not
scatter its contents over the top OF the egg
shell. There Is an entirely novel flavor In
taking the egg from the shell where the air has
not touched it, except as you break 1t at the
top. It is worth a special spoon to get this deli
cate, feeting flavor.
