VARIOUS WAYS WITH EGGS.

Tempting The Breakfast Appetite.

There are many unusual ways of cooking the breakfast egg, which looks at as so forbiddingly when fried and so dully when boiled.

Try scrambled eggs varied either by adding chopped ham or tongue or flaked cold flah, auch is smoked had-dock or kipper, before cooking. Or scramble eggs plainly, and then put on to little pieces of buttered toast spread with bloater, kipper, or anchovy paste, with any chopped cold meat or peas left over from the night before, first tossed in a little butter to warm them.

Eggs-And-Cream.

Cold eggs, hard-boiled, can be filled with all sorts of pleasant stuffings, for instance any of the ad- ditions described above, which are pounded up with the yolk, moisten- ed if necessary with a little milk or cream, and filled into the halves of the white, usually cut length-wise. A very simple and original tomato dish is one called Eggs Washington. For this you want a large, not too ripe tomato for each person. Cut off about

a quarter from the top (where the stem is), scoop out the inside and sprinkle the case with salt and pepper:

Now break an egg into each toma- to, add a little more seasoning, some chopped parsley and if you can, some mushrooms Anely chop

ped. Put a dab of butter on top of each, and bake in a slow oven for about twenty minutes, so that the yolks of the eggs are still soft when the dish is served.

Popular With Children. Оле last suggestion is Birds' Nests, which should be popular with the children. From some alices of bread about an inch thick

eut out rounds three inches or so across. Make these into rings by cutting out their cantrea with a smaller cutter, and fry them * golden brown in butter.

Place them in a flat dish, break an egg into each, pour over a little milk, sprinkle lightly with chopped parsley and, if you like it so carly in the morning, a little chopped on- ion, and bake in the oven till the eggs are set.

THE WAIST LINE.

Waists have been assigned a high place, now dressmakers are not sure where they want them. Apparent- fy, wide shouldered cloth frocks and conto are smartest with fitting hip- lines and fairly long waists. This design imparts a soignee air, even though one's figure is not of the slimmost. But such frocks need to be carefully fitted, and to be worn with a firm type of corset...

Often the long hip-line la finish- Led with a belt quite high-above the normal waist-I have seen new coats of glosay' cluchs with such waists, providing both and a low walst-line at once.

On very short jumpers the walst is seamed quite high. Longer skirts encourage the higher waista apparently, and some frocks with Jumper tops suggest separate gar- ments.

THE CARE OF THE HANDS.

AT CROWN

How To Deal With Brittle Nails.

Most business girls have beau- tifully manicured hands. They use them constantly, are conscious of them, and are careful to spend at least two separate half-hours in the week with a bowl of hot soapy. water and a manicure set.

Yet it is just this type of girl who, once she has escaped for a fortnight from the routine of office work, neglects her hands and comes back from her holiday feeling that they will never look right again.

It is not, of course, an easy job to keep the hands elegant in the country or at the sea. It is dif- ficult, too; not to feel eareless about these things, and to tell yourself that you will "have a good go at them" before you come back to town.

But care of the hands is a per-

sonal fastidiousness that can ill be pared, and the best method of keeping them in trim is to adopt a simpler manicure, and stick to it. Choose preferably a powder po- lish for nails.
