I had had enough experience with him
for one evening, and l bade him good
night with a sense, of relief at the

turned into the struggling line OF
passers-by.

ALL KINDS OF SALADS
WELCOME SEASON FOR THESE
DELIcAClES AT HAND.
How the Egg, Natural Accompaniment
Of Spring and Summer Dish.
Should Be Prepared and Ar
ranqed-To Shred Lettuce.

Hard Boiled Eggs.-Egg salads Will
Sc In demand soon and they AFFORD an
opportunity for the cook to display
her skill in arranging and garnishing.
The eggs must be hard boiled and
this Ia accomplished best by putting
them into cold water. bringing 1t 20
the boiling point and allowing 1t to
simmer for 25 minutes. Drop the eggs
into cold water, then remove the
shells and cut In fancy shapes.
Daisy Egg Salad.-One way to make
an attractive salad is to cut the eggs
In halves lengthwise, take out the
yolks and cut the whites into eighths
in long strips. Lay round on a bed
of shredded lettuce like the petals OF
a daisy and sift the yolk through
gravy strainer into heap In the CEN
ter. A second method Is to cut In
halves across the smaller part and
use each half Of the yolk for CEN
ter. Cut the half OF the white into
eighths which will have one pointed
end and form into petals around the
center; each egg will make two "dais-
les"
Water Lily Egg Salad.-For cup
use lettuce leaves on a plate and lay
the long strips cut by the first plan
in SO that they will curve upward
and fill the center with sifted yolk:
this closely resembles water lily.
Notched Egg Cup Salad.-For
change cut the smaller diameter OF
the egg round In zigzag line with
small pointed kitchen knife and sepa-
rate the halves. Cut tiny slice from
the small end and set upright among
the lettuce leaves.
To Shred Lettuce.-To shred let
tuce use only the coarser leaves. re-
serving the cup-shaped for the edge
of the salad. Roll these large leaves
tightly, then slice from one end with
a sharp knife and shape up loosely.
It is an economical and appetizing
way to use the outer leaves. which
are fresh and green and yet not as
delicrte as the heart leaves.-Alice E.
Whitaker
Deviled Eggs.-Cut hard boiled eggs
in two, mash yolks with paprika,
mustard, celery salt, butter and
Worcestershire sauce until 1t has be-
come a thick, moist paste; fill this
moisture in the egg white. press the
two firmly together and set In cool
place until wanted Nice for the lunch
basket.
Baked Omelet.-One tablespoon
flour. one tablespoon hot butter. one
cup hot milk. half teaspoon salt, one
fourth teaspoon pepper. six beaten
eggs, one teaspoon baking powder.
Stir the -four into the butter and add
gradually the milk. salt. pepper. Cool
slightly and add the we'll beaten yolks
Of the eggs. then the beaten whites
and one teaspoon baking powder.
Bake In moderate oven.
Rye Muffins.-Measure two cups OF
rye meal which has been sifted and
one cup of sifted pastry -four. Sift the
flour and meal with five level tea
spoons of sugar and one level tea
spoon of salt Beat one egg. add one
and one-quarter cups of milk. Mix
with the dry materials and pour into
buttered pan and bake in sheet.
Cut with a hot knife into squares, or
bake in buttered hot gem pans. Use
rye meal and not rye flour. which Is
different, and always sift the meal be-

I believed that he had centered his
efforts upon Bruce and had built
wall of circumstantial evidence around
him, there was also the sickening pos
sibility that he had learned things in
other directions that were beyond my
ken. However. / refused absolutely
to allow such a possibility to occupy
any real place in my mind. Still.
there was a mystery about some Of
his actions that utterly baffed me
and caused me profound wonder;

Some of the authorities on slang

that they are in the right. 1t first

WASHING Glass.

Have a wooden bowl for washing

for the purpose, for 1t is impossible to
polish glass if there be any trace Of
grease in the water used for 1t, says

people like to use hot water and some
use cold for washing glass. Good ef-
