MANY mothers object to the use
- of dyes in coloring Easter eggs
that the small children use. Yet
they are most anxious that their
wee folk have variety of Easter
goodies.
# Have you ever tried the home
vegetable dyes? Eggs may be dyed
lovely shade of yellow by cooking
the eggs in a pan with the skins of
yellow onions; the amount used will
determine the amount of coloring.
Spinach and parsley will give the
green coloring, while beets will
color from the shade of delicate pink
to a deep red. Names, dates and
notices may be readily written on
the eggs by using a small brush and
a liquid fat. Write this on before
dyeing. The surface Of the egg must
be absolutely clean and the writing
should be set about one hour before
cooking the eggs. 1t will take but
little practice to provide a large
variety of these eggs.
The eggs may be made from
sponge cake, dipped in either fon-
dant or water icing, and then deco
rated with small flowers or name
or greeting written with icing.
To Make This Cake
Place the yolks of three eggs in
bowl and add
Three-qudrters cuptW Of sugar.
Cream until light and lemon col
ored, and then add
Four tublespoontUls Of mater,
One cupful of -four,
Two level teaspoontWs Of baking
po,Uder.
Beat to mix, and then cut and fold
into this mixture the whites of
three eggs, beaten stiff. Pour in a
CREASED and Toured pan, and bake
for forty-five minutes in moderate
oven. Remove from the pan and
cool. Cut into pieces and then trim
into shape with scissors into the
shape of an egg. Cover with either
fondant or water icing.
Fondant Icing
Place two cupfuls of granulated
sugar in a saucepan and add
Three-quartcrs cupfM of boiling
Water,
One-qudrter tsuspoontM Of cream
Of tartar,
Five tublespoonf"Is of ,chie cor.
siYnp.
E Stir until the sugar is dissolved
and then with a damp cloth wipe
down the sides of the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to boil and cook
until it forms a soft ball in cold
water, or if you use candy ther-
mometer cook until it reaches 240
degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the fire and pour on
a large well-oiled meat platter.
When partly cool, work, using the
cake turner like hoe to knead. Do
this until it turns creamy white, and
then work with the hands into ball.
To Use

and general lack of care. Her invest
ment was just a whim.
When she got home, OF course she did
put the lotion on her hands, for that
was the best way to get fragrance.
The next morning her hands felt soft :;
at least softer than they had been for
a long time. But the fingernails! Sud-
denly, even all by herself there, she
became ashamed Of them.
At noon she went into drug store
and bought all the little mysterious
Jars and bottles of things a woman
uses to make her nails softly pink
and dainty and nice to watch. That
night the redness had begun to creep
on the hands again, as 1t will when
one has put the lotion on only once.
But the inspiration had been sown
and the girl was undaunted. She sat
up until 12 o'clock with bowl of
warm, soapy water on the table in her
little clearinghouse room and worked
with all the fragrant little salves and
bottles. A session with the buffer,
