You Can Test
Your Own Eggs

A convenient and quite easy method
of testing eggs for freshness before
breaking them Is to place them in q
pan Of cold water. The pan should
preferably have a fat bottom. If the
egg is perfectly fresh-in fact. newly
laid-it will lie on its side on the bot
tom of the pan. An average so-called
strictly fresh egg may tip up slightly
at the large end. The staler the egg
the more upright it will stand, and II
it floats clear of the bottom beware of
it, for 1t is sure to be unfit for use.

Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

There is something about daffodils
or tulips in basket which seems es-
pecially appropriate and very pleasing,
and in the accompanying illustration
is shown a basket made Just for this
purpose. OF course, hyacinths or any
other plants might be used in this, but
somehow they are not so definitely as
ISOLATED with baskets.
inside Of the basket is metal con-
tainer, painted green, which holds the

saving. Take advantage of the many
housekeeping conveniences offered by
the excellent varieties of canned and
ready-to-serve foods. The necessary
green and raw foods can be easily got
ten into such menus by the use Of let
tuce, raw celery. etc. and fresh fruits.

It is a good plan to study how to use
leftovers appetizingly, and to cook
large enough piece of meat. or perhaps
q chicken, over the week end, when one
is home and has the time to devote to
it. This will form the basis for sew
eral meals that can be prepared during
the week with minimum of effort.

The outside, which is made of split
white oak, may be had in either Of
the two finishes, brown or gray.
The basket is only 3ts inches wide,
but 1t is 171a inches long, which makes
it o very good size for the windowsill
In the sun room one of these in each
window would be very delightful
decoration.
The breakfast room would also be
enhanced by the addition of this basket
filled with bulbs, for it is such joy to
watch them grow from day to day, and
they are not too informal to place in
dining room.
