How to Scramble Eggs.

The shops are full Of really beau
tiful fabrics for cotton frocks for the
spring and summer.
OF course, the reason for their be-
ing there now is that some. Of us are
going south. Those Of us who re-
main in the cooler places just gloat
over them, and maybe start in on
making some thin summer frocks at
home.
Anyway, never. really, were there
so many fabrics in the shops to tempt
Us.
For one thing there is whole
group Of thin fabrics called tissues,
which are neither voiie nor batiste,
but some lovely sheer, cotton fabric
that is capable of manipulating in
the most graceful manner. One
doesn't wonder. after seeing these
tissues, that in some places in the
orient in ancient times cotton was
considered lovelier thing than linen.
These tissues cooe in stripes and
checks and plaids and plain surfaces.
There are some with silky stripe in
them. A good many show q little
gray in their figuring.
Then there are silk ginghams.
There are cotton voiles. There are
cotton crepes. some of them embroid-
cred in a spidery design in bright
colors. There is a fabriclike jersey
on one side. and on the outside like
short-knapped mercerized velvet.
There are lovely colored linens in
all the colors of the spring
Altogether. if YOU can go through
the shops and not lose your heart to
some of the new thin fabrics, there
must be something wrong with you
Oh. yes. and perhaps most fmpor-
tant of them all are the white fab
rics. For this is to be a. season of
white, and surely some OF the sheer
white cotton crepe fabrics will come
IN for merited' attention.

The New Fabrics.

A good dish of creamy scrambled

thing as you could present TO any
body to eat.
The whole thing depends on two
points-fresh eggs and cooking with
out frying.
Good water-glass eggs may be
used. But the eggs must be delicate
In taste.
Put little butter in a skillet and
melt 1t without in the least browning
it. Then break in the eggs, add q
little milk, and stir constantly over q
low fire. You can even do the cook
ing over hot water. The necessary
thing is. don't brown or fry the eggs
and don't let a crust form. Add as
much milk as the eggs will hold and
maintain a creamy consistency.
Some persons prefer eggs In this
form to an omelet, an6 anybody
would prefer them to the ordinary
dish of scrambled eggs prepared by
a not too skillful cook.
