I've had eggs delivered to me in a
hundred different ways. Some fried,
some boiled, some frozen, 1 get them
every day. I've had egg shampoos,
egg frappes, and eggs with different
ages ana eggs are supposed " DC
healthful, according to the sages. I'm
getting so 1 hate to look n fried egg
in the face, deviled eggs, and shirred
eggs, my table shall not grace. 1 get
so mad when wife, dear, says, Hurry
wash your hands, breakfasts on the
table, we've got ham-and.' I've
tried to find a single thing which 1
about an egg, but no thought comes
today. The only thing that 1 can see
about a dozen eggs corrupt, is when
you drop them on the sidewalk. you
don't have to pick them up. N.s.A.

party going during that time. OF

up cards and dancing but Virgie is

during Lent-they say she is getting

| her clubs and party going as she says
! it is such a long time, until the last
| few weeks. since she has had an op-
portunity to go to functions, that she
would rather give up eating alto
gether. in spite of the conserving she
has had to do in that line too, than

feel the same way about it (almost) d.
At a club entertainment not long
ago everything was not altogether
pleasant if one is to believe the ru-
mors. 1t seems one woman assumed
the responsibility for the whole affair,
appointed new committees to suit her
preference and in the end persuaded
the publicity people to say that the
success of the affair was largely due
to her efforts, while they do say most
Of the work was done and all the let
tiers written by some one else in the
club. I'll say that is too much ag-
gressiveness even for this advanced
age.
Some of those who were there say
that a certain Topeka widower was
having some gay time in Kansas City
last week attending The Gayety and
incidentally the Gayety girls.
At a party not long ago the chief
topic of conversation among a crowd
of young matrons was hats and hus-
bands. But they almost all admitted
that they ended by buying the kind
of spring millinery their husbands
preferred. Said one tall girl to whom
