Instead of Eggs.

In many households the problem of
planning and getting breakfast is
always comparatively simple so long
as there are good eggs to be had. To
boil an egg is about the simplest cult
nary operation there is. and the real
egg liker always likes eggs boiled.
But there are eggs and eggs, and the
sort that cost a dollar and ten cents
a dozen. more or less, are the ones
that you are safe in boiling. The 9TH
er sort may be quite all right scram-
bled. However, there are some of us
who don't fancy the idea of eating in
any form the egg that is not fresh
enough to be eaten boiled. 1t may be
finical. but with those people there
are the dollar a dozen sort-and the
other uncomfortable sort.
So with eggs at almost ten cents
apiece, we are rather conservative
about serving them for breakfast, es-
peciallY if the members of our house
hold have a capacity for two eggs
and if that household is large. So we
just have to get back to our wartime
habit of finding a substitute for the
thing that we cannot afford.
Potatoes have rather passed out of
favor for a breakfast dish, yet if
well cooked they are a very whole
some food at the first meal of the
day. especially in the winter. Try
having French fried potatoes served
with crisply fried sliced bacon. One
housewife serves what she calls fried
bread, but many persons call French
toast for breakfast. using one egg to
make enough toast for a family of
four or five. To do this use bread
that is slightly stale-it is a good
way to use up leftover bread, by the
way. Then break an egg in a bowl
and add about cup of milk, with
salt to taste. Place the slices of
bread in this and let them become
softened. but do not let them remain
long enough to become actually soe-
gy. Fry on a griddle to a golden
brown. using leftover bacon fat or
any good cooking oil.
A little leftover meat may be put
through the meat chopper and mixed
with bread crumbs and a little milk
and water and formed into meat
balls that make good hearty dish for
winter breakfasts at a cost that is
much lower than that of eggs. A very
little meat will go a long way by US
ing the bread crumbs and the meat
balls will really taste better than
if all meat were used.

Can jealousy Be Cured?

Dear cynthia--G am coming to you,
knowing that you will give me the best
advice to be had.
About the latter part Of October 1918.
| met sailor at dance and after
being properly introduced we became
the best of friends untii now we are
what people call sweethearts. Now.
my parents like the sailor very much,
ana ! care for him in the deepest way.
but ] seem TO find fault with him in
this respect. He is jealous OF me. Now
| am not a girl to brag about and I
can imagine anybody beng jealous Of
me.
Not ,ong ago, while IN the presence
of several other couples, began to
tease another boy, and for this simple
reason my friend became very jealous
ana before we parted We had Il quarrel.
| later received Il letter from him stat
ing that he had played the FOOLS part
and wished TO be forgiven This glad
~ did, knowing the circumstances, but
this happens every time we are together.
How can ! cure him Of his jealousy and
not hurt his feelings, because | really
care for him? We are both past the
age OF getting jealous. Thanking you
in advance. BABE.
II Is very hard TO completely cure a
jealous disposition, but the nearest thing
that can come to il Is trying TO make
the man have confidence in you. The
boy evidently realizes his falling and
talking to him about it sensibly would
do more good than anything else. Tell
him that confidence must go with love
and that he must have faith in you
Are YOU engaged to him? II he has not
asked you to marry him. then he would
have no right to dispute your actions
with any one else. However, since you
care for him, | would be a little con-
siderate and try not to arouse his
Jealousy. There must be little giving
in on the part of both.

make an appointment for the next day?

o. how could he, how could he treat her
that way and before all these strange
people? Nothing more was said about It
either, or rather nothing else that Ruth
could hear and she spent the rest OF
her stay at the studio angry and miser-
able, ready to cry one minute and cold
with anger the next How she ever said
good-by to Betty she never afterward
knew. She did remember. however, that
she forced herself to murmur something
and then she and Scott were going down
the il-lighted staircase and moment
more were out in the street. She waited
a moment, sure that he would say some
thing. but Scott was silent, and finally
unable to keep still any longer she
famed out:
Well aren't you going to tell me
about your engagement with Betty 1or

vent my overhearing you when you made
it."
