ABOUT EAsTE R EGGS.
orandmothsr's Way Of Dyeins Them
Beautiful Hues.


Aniline dyes and with them the alb
solutely harmless Easter egg pigments
are, we are told, soaring higher as to
price and falling short as to quality
with every day. By taking bit more
trouble, however, the mother who OBJ
jects to spending more money for an
inferior article than it is worth may
turn out eggs quite as attractive as
the costly decorated ones by dyeing
them as our grandmothers used to do
them.
Grandma had but two dyes at her
command, from which she evolved
many shades by commingling and d.
luting the ''tea" which she procured by
sleeping logwood and. Penambuco
wood. She produced charming and ar
tistic effects by laying tender leaflets,
blades Of grass, red onion peel, cut in
stars and crescents or just applied in
a sort Of hit and miss manner upon
the egg and winding narrow white
tape round and round the egg to keep
the leaves and peels In place. An egg
so swaddled, If boiled for half an hour
in strong tea or coffee or even in plain
water, will come out a veritable little
thing Of beauty. Just wrapping an egg
in this way in onion skins or young
and tender spinach leaves and boiling
for an hour will result In lovely green
or red "marbled" eggs.
Grandma's finest results, however
were obtained by treating the eggs pre-
viously boiled stone hard as follows
With q wooden meat skewer dipped In
melted wax grandma took a candle
and melted it down, but paraffin Is faI
better) she drew upon the eggshell in
heavy lines an initial, monogram
chick or bunny and submerged the eggs
so decorated for twenty-four hours ir
strong vinegar, the whittier the better
after which she thoroughly rinsed them
in water not too hot. The vinegar eats
away the lime surface df the egg, leav
ing the paraff1n lines standing out IL
high relief. Eggs SO treated look like
old ivory carvings and are truly ar
hstic.

New Veil Of the Season.

One Of the new wells is made of large
meshed net with heavy design in sill
yer of gold thread over half the width
of the net. The veil is worn over the
hat with the designs at the top, so that
it seems to form trimming to the hat.
The plain mesh is over the face. This
sort Of veil is especially attractive with
a simple hat Of the sort worn for mo-
toring, as it adds much to the hats ap-
pearance.

THE LITTLEST CLOTHES.
The eaby's Laystts IL Also Big Enough
TO Be Stylish.


Every mother knows that the new
baby's clothes must be as free from
bunchy gathers and bunny buttons as
possible. She is always glad to hear
Of easily made garments which will
make her littlest one comfortable and
coy.
There is q flannel petticoat which
has a bodice much like tight fitting
corset cover Of mothers. The skirt OF
the petticoat laps In front with the
bodice, so that the garment may be
passed under the little body and ar
ranged from the front The two fronts
of the bodice cross. the long end on
one side passing through slit In the
other side, the two tying with tapes
in the center back. There are no gath
ers worth mentioning In this petdcoat
and no buttons anywhere.
Another slip petticoat goes on over
the head and ties with tapes on the
shoulders or buttons there. for buttons
on the shoulders could not cause the
baby discomfort.
The baby's shirt may be made In
much the same way as this last petit
coat. While some mothers follow the
foreign fashion Of keeping soft linen
next to the little body, most mothers
in this country believe In the wool or
flannel vest
A diaper protection Of rubber can be
made of q triangle of sheeting attach
ed permanently to band which ties
in front A button on the front and q
buttonhole in the third corner OF the
diaper does away entirely with the
safety pin. The wash diapers can be
made on the same pattern ana fasten-
ed In the same way.

= u.. For curtain Poles.

Sometimes. after you have moved
from one house to another. you nnd
yourself with a collection OF ends OF
curtain poles. left over from saving
OF the poles you had. to at the In
variably different sized doorways ana
window frames in the new possession.
These poles are usually too short to
use for curtains again. but need not
be consigned to the wood pile. LOOK
over your doilies and linen scarfs ana
see II some Of them would not be the
right size, with perhaps a little more
saving, on which to wrap them TO
keep them smooth.
They serve very nicely In this capac-
ity when neatly covered with muslin
