How to Use Preserved Eggs.

When the eggs are to be used remove
them as desired, rinse in clean, cold
water and use Immediately.
Eggs preserved in water glass can be
used for soft boiling or p%oaching up to
November. Before boiling such eggs
prick a tiny hole in the large end Of
the shell with a needle to keep them
from cracking. They are satisfactory
for frying until about December. From
that time until the end of the usual
storage period-that is until March
they can be used for omelettes, scram-
bled eggs, c~ustards, cakes and general
cookery. AS the eggs age the white
becomes thinner and is harder to beat.
The yolk membrane becomes o. deli
cate, and it is correspondingly difficult
to separate the whites from the yolks.
Sometimes the white of the egg is ting
ed pink after very long keeping in wa
ter glass. This is due, probably, to a
little iron which is in the sodium sill
cate, but which apparently does not in
jure the egg for food purposes.

case the water should be boiled and
then allowed to cool. Half fill the YES
sci with this solution and place the

ut things have

my seat, lady" But things have
changed.
Nowadays, first come, first served.
When a crowd gets on a car at cor
ner the men rush right in ahead Of
the girls and women and PUNK them
selves down in a seat. Then the gen
tier sex stand up, swaying to and fro
on a leather strap.
However, there are exceptions.
Have you noticed that when a Grip
ple-man or woman-gets on a car
somebody is already to give up a
seat. And when a mother with a baby
in arms boards a car she seldom
has to stand up. If somebody leaves
a seat in a car that is crowded, you
seldom see men rush for it. They
will step aside and even motion for
a standing woman to sit down.
So, cheer up! There is still a touch
Of gallantry among us!

SORORITIES.-Miss Mary Wright,
head of the Mu Phi Epsilon sorority
at University of Washington, Seattle,
is spreading something new for a So
rority girl. And it looks good from
where we sit. She's handing out the
gospel Of wider service to fellow stu
dents on the part Of the college girls.
This sorority, unlike those we
have read Of and heard of in the
past, is dissipating the prevalent idea
that Greek letter societies are the
home of snobbery. It gives "univer-
sity training in music" free to stu
dents who would otherwise not get it.
That sounds like a blamed good
idea. Both fraternities and sorori-
ties have drawn a black eye often
times because parents Of rich folks
thought them only for scholars who
had a pretty good financial backing.
They thought it meant their chill
dren being "out Of the class" with
children Of better fixed parents. This
new sorority idea does away with
that thought. More sororities and
fraternities should follow suit.
GALLANTRY.-There once was a
time when you very seldom saw a
woman standing up in a car In those
days men always got up with Take
