MIA were opposed, and they boasted that
they would circulate an initiative petition
for the repeal of the suffrage amend
ment and would triumphantly disfranchise
themselves by their own votes-aided, of
course, by those CT like-minded men.
Such a petition was actually started, and
the College League of California says
that people were paid for circulating It
at the rate of cents a signature. But,
though the suffrage amendment had car
ried by rather close VOTE. so great a
change had already come over public
opinion that they failed to get among
either men or women the small percen-
tage of signatures necessary to resub-
init the question. California is the only
state where any attempt has ever been
made to disfranchise women by initiative
petition and the total collapse of the eff
fort proves that most Californians do not

A Breakfast Dish

81 appeal to your Helping Hand. For
more than 80 years I have tried to cook
or have cooked a dish that used to be
called at home bread and eggs, but never
with satisfactory results. The breakfast
dish, as my father used to teach it to
every new cook we employed, was about
the consistency of bread pudding and pale
yellow in color. I believe 1t comprised
only cubes of dry bread, eggs. milk, pos
sibly butter, lots of pepper and was
served in a tureen. piping hot. I may be
wrong as to the ingredients but more
lilsely my mistakes have all been in their
use, for l. have never been able to pro-
duce anything better than an insipid sort
of much. AS | remember it, the cubes
of bread should for the most part retain
their original shape and the mixture
should be practically dry, all of Which I
presume means the right mixing and
quick cooking. If you can and will be
SO good as to let me have the recipe
for this dish in your valued columns at
an early date it will be much appre-
ciated W. r. r."
The story arouses my curiosity. AS
nearly as I can make out from your
outline, a sugarless custard is made, a
good bit of butter added to the eustard
while it is hot, and when the mixture has
been seasoned to taste cubes of dry bread
not toasted lightly? Housewives who can
supply better recipe are invited to con-
trihuted.
