Breakfast Dishes,

Most housekeepers will agree that
breakfast is the most difficult meal to
provide variety. Here are few un-
usual dishes which may suggest 9TH
ers and thus furnish a change.
Bacon ScrambIe.-Fry several slices
of bacon until about half done: drain
off part OF the fat, and add six eggs
we'll beaten: stir constantly until well
cooked A little grated onion may be
added for flavor. Season while cook
ing.
Southern 6uckwheat cakes.-Four
cupfuls of buckwheat flour sifted, one
half a compressed yeast cake dis
solved in a little lukewarm water. one
teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoon
ful of molasses. Mix with enough
warm water to make thin batter and
act to rise over night.
For a breakfast fruit, grape fruit is
one that is both appetizing and me-
dicinal; fresh apple or one baked
and served with cream is another good
dish Stewed prunes. or few dates
steamed with tho oatmeal are another
favorite combination.
Goldfish 6alis.-Take cup OF shred
ed Goldfish, after soaking. two cups OF
mashed potatoes, one beaten egg one
and half teaspoonfuIs of butter, pep
per to taste. Mold into cakes three
fourths Of an inch thick and saute in
bacon fat. Serve poached egg on
each and garnish with fried bacon.
The omelet is n breakfast dish that
should have chapter 10 itself. US
they are legion. However. all omelets
are only variations of the plain ONE

OmeIets Galore.

OmeIets Galore.
ITO make an omelet, you must first
break eggs"
An omelet that is tender, puffy and
well seasoned and cooked Is not an
easy thing to prepare. The cook who
is able by practice and skill to pro-
duce the edible variety is certainly
worthy Of praise.
The French cook says that no liquid
should be added to the omelet; In
America some add milk, others water.
1t is generally accepted that water is
better than milk. as 1t makes more
tender omelet. Use as many table
spoonfuls of water as eggs, separating
the yolks from the whites and beating
the yolks until thick and lemon-cof
ored. Another secret of tender ONE.
let is in the whites of the eggs. Ii
they are beaten until dry. the omelet
will not be as tender. Stop beating
when the egg stands up we'll.
A steel frying pan is best in which
to cook the omelet. See that the pan
is perfectly smooth, as little rough
ness will often catch and spoil an ONE.
let. A good plan is to scour out the
pan with salt before using.
Have the pan smoking hot and add
a tablespoonful of butter, greasing the
sides of the pan well. Combine the
whites and yolks with seasoning and
pour into the pan. Slide a spatula
around under the edge as 1t is cook
ing, SO that the center will have q
chance to cook When well cooked
on the bottom, set a moment In the
oven to cook on top, then fold and
serve.
Chopped chives and parsley are
added to omelets for flavor.
A sweet omelet is a favorite with
many for luncheon. Just before pour
ing the omelet into the pan, put d
handful Of blanched almonds into the
pan, and pour over the egg, cook care.
fully not to scorch the nuts. Set in
the oven as usual, fold on the plat
ter and pour over the omelet half
cup of hot maple sirup.
Tomato may be spread over the
omelet just before folding, or a little
apple jelly or any sweet jelly or pre-
serves, too small in amount to use
otherwise. In fact, almost anything
eatable may be used in, on or around
an omelet.

open arms. With a youth of his pro-
clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable At no time
overfond of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as a most desirable
emancipation from the restraint of
home life. The love of books he con-
sidered a pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by it's most undesirable features, it's
sports, it's secret societies, it's petty
cliques, and its rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity of the alma
mater he ignored completely Directly

JOY himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him
in the entire history of the university.
Reading, attendance at lectures, be-
came only a convenient cloak to con-
ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing,
automobile joy rides, hard drinking
became the daily curriculum. In
town rows and orgies of every descrip-
tion he was soon a recognized leader.
Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion. Then his
father heard of it and there was q
terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went i'm
mediately to New Haven and there
followed a stormy interview in which
Howard promised to reform, but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, the smoke of
which reached as far as New York.
This time Mr. Jeffries tried the plan
of cutting down the money supply and
Howard found himself financially en-
barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father. for.
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
on his sprees the young man started
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when he won.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart to
