How to Eat a Boiled Egg.

A great many people think the only
delicious way to eat a boiled egg is in
its shell, and so that the top may be
carefully and easily cracked off there
have been devised egg scissors, which
are fascinating triles for the table
service as well as for actual use. Each
pair of scissors is in the form of gay
little chicken. Each has. ruby eye,
and the steel is gilded The finger
loops of the scissors are left the natu-
raj steel color for contrast, and the size
is about five inches long. They are de-
lightful for an invalid's breakfast tray
and very tidy as well as cute for Il
