Pain d'Oeufs

Beat slightly six eggs, add six tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt and one-half teaspoon vanilla. Scald three cups of milk and pour slowly over the eggs, stirring constantly.

Melt in a granite or aluminum baking dish six tablespoons of sugar until brown, using no water. Pour the custard into this, set into a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven 45 minutes or more until the custard is set, and a testing knife comes out clean. The water in the pan must not boil.

When perfectly cold turn upside down into a glass or china serving dish.

Bread Crumb Omelet

4 eggs
small teaspoon salt
little minced onion
4 or 5 cups bread crumbs
2 cups milk
4 sprigs parsley (minced fine)
minced sweet green peppers can be added
¼ cup butter softened (melt and cool)

Beat all well together, pour into a buttered dish and bake in a slow oven until lightly browned.

Should be served at once, as it sinks down when cooling. This does not harm it only it does not look so pretty. If it browns too quickly—cover.

Egg Patties

Beat eggs lightly and add crushed cracker crumbs till it forms a thick paste, then thin with a little milk. Season with finely cut onion, pepper and salt. Fry in butter, like pancakes. Very good and something different.

"Well, Marie" said Jiggles after the town election "for whom did you vote this morning?"

"I crossed off the names of all the candidates," returned Mrs. Jiggles, "and wrote out my principles on the back of my ballot. This is no time to consider individuals and their little personal ambitions."—New York Times.


George W. Cable
Northampton, Mass.
Dec. 22, 1914.
Editress Suffrage Cook Book:

As to a sentiment on equal suffrage, let me say that if I had no more generous reason for approving it, I should do so on the ground of my opposition to seeing any element of our people enjoying large liberty and influence without the restraints of a corresponding responsibility in the suffrage.

Ever yours truly,
G. W. Cable.
