MENUS FOR
LENT

During Lent the breakfast egg
is usually promoted to the other
meal times. but how to conquer
that "just eggs" feeling in the
family is the problem of every
housewife. Here is the answer
several of them--in an article by
Marguerite Maddox in Mccall s
for April:
Before L disclose the secrets
of making a few of these newer
egg dishes. let us consider for a.
moment some old friends. Prob
ably the most familiar of these is
boiled eggs. AS a. matter Of fact,
we should never really boil an
egg: the water in which eggs are
cooked should be kept below the
boiling point so that the egg
white viii not become tough. To
have perfect. soft boiled, or soft
cooked eggs as they should be
called, put them into water that
is boiling hot. remove the sauce
pan from the fire, cover it and
allow it to stand five to eight
minutes. according to the softness
desired. For 'hard-cooked' eggs,
place them in boiling hot water,
keep water below the boiling
point. and let the eggs stand in
it for 20 to 80 minutes. Hard
cooked eggs prepared in this way
will never be leathery.

the coat and skirt is of a darker

and it also serves as a girdle.

the only other trimming on the
toque.

Timely Topics

A dodel prison is operated at
Fresnes.les-Rung in France,
where 1880 white-fnasked men
exist without ever hearing each
others voice or seeing each others
faces. Prisoners are required to
wear a white hood whenever they
leave their cells in which they
work alone. Solitary confinement,
usually considered severely strict
discipline, is fhe rule. They eat
alone, sleep alone, work alone and
even take their hours daily exer-

Yet dates bring perplexing prob
lems. 1t is not always easy to
figure out the best to date-and
when and how! As a matter of
fact, girls begin TO worry about
dates long before they should.
School girls nowadays too often
J expect to give far more of their
time to dates than to study and
rest.
School and college offer mar
r Nelous opportunity for acquiring
culture, charm, health of mind and
body. and to prepare for future
success Dates should not for one
instant be allowed to interfere with
hours devoted to study, athletic
outdoor activity and the early re
firing hour so vital to your future
health and good looks.
Would you like to have the most
loved young man In the world in
love with you? Here is a descrip-
fion of the girl he has fallen in
love with, as she appeared to her
college friends while in school last
year:
"She is quiet and unassuming
with a sweet disposition. She

that hats have followed their ex-
ample and are adopting this line
to stunning effect.
The spring prediction for hats
is that they will remain small,
with a wide variety of shapes
and brims. In most cases the
brims are narrow. at least on one
side, then widening to an irregular
line. Gone are the days of the
ever brim and trim. The two
hats above are striking examples
Of this unevenness. but hats show

The tricorne shape is slowly
taking hold, but as this is style

INTERESTED READER
The form of the name you
choose to use depends finally on
your own preference, and the
fact that you choose 1t makes 1t
correct. The two forms oftenest
used are: the first and last names
of the maiden name and the last
name of married name, Sarah
Brown Robson: or the first name
of the maiden name. and the last
name of your married name, Sarah
Robson. Initials are not in very
good form. and so most married
women do not use the forms that
you suggest. However. they are
correct, IL you prefer them.

A meeting Of working class ten
ants of Harlem, called by the hench-
men of republican and democratic
politicians at the Communist Forum,
138th St., between Seventh and
Lenox Aves., proved an unpleasant
boomerang for the flunkies of the
capitalist politicians when members
of the Harlem Tenants League,

Party, secured the floor for two of
their speakers and practically cap
tured the meeting.
The meeting started with the Gus
tomary bullthrowing exercises. Lead

landlords were represented as "the
best people" and the cheated and
oppressed tenants of Harlem were
invited to call at the offices of vari-

votes.
