The borduTe is charming used as a

has just returned from Cuba, IS making
all his friends happy by telling them
how to prepare a new and most defect
able supper dish. This the 'Huevos

OF the favorite viands served at the
best Havana restaurants.
While II is possible 10 prepare this
dish in the chatting dish, the Cuban
method OF cooking it Is to make il d.
rectly over the fire in a porcelain-lined
steWpan. Into this the cook pours some
good olive oil-not a teaspoonful or two
Or enough 10 just grease the bottom Of
the pan, but & goodly quantity, that the
OIL may bubble conspicuously when suf-
nciently heated. When this result has
been attained drop some eggs gently
into the hot oil; follow quickly with
Shrimp. French peas, and capers and
let the mixture remain over the FIRE lust
long enough 20 enable the eggs 10 poach
10 the extent desired. Then season to
taste with salt, white pepper, and pap

AS this combination of egg, fish. and
vegetable should appear at the table in
the same Utensll r. which 10 was cooked
II may be made still more attractive by
being prepared in individual dishes-one
or two eggs and a corresponding guam
