All Easter Eggs Are Not Hardboiled Try Some New Ways To Tease The Appetite While the Youngsters Hunt for What the Bunny Brought, Grown-Ups Will Relish Novel Egg Dishes By VIRGINIA ROSS Home Economlos Editor EASTEK EGGS. When I speak of them It's not of the highly decorated candy concoctions that fare forth each Easter morn. Nor of the gaily colored hen's eggs the Easter Bunny Is supposed to leave in a secluded spot for searching out In the early hours. Most folks confine these to youth. Once people outgrow this time of artlessness and Innocent simplic ity (all too soon, It seems to me) they relegate Easter eggs to the Zm"-L"-'acraP neaP' So the Eaa. I, A ter Eggs I much more In tune with the gross mater ialism of the age. These are .. the kind that heave few memories, only satisfaction, I too short-lived for such beauty and thought as are In them. Breakfast Is Virginia Rom the time they usually make their appearance, though they need not be confined to that by any manner of means! Shirred eggs with anchovies, for Instance. I can see them at supper, early or late, luncheon, and a simple meatless dinner; and most any time of year. Lost your curiosity Is beginning to prick, they go like this (only fustcr, when In person). Butter individual casseroles, and slip two unbeaten eggs Into each. Add two tablespoons of rich cream, sweet or sour and several bits of anchovy. Place the casseroles In a slow oven, around 325 degrees, and bake until well set and browned. Serve with sauted or baked to mato slices, dressed up with a bit of cheese atop. Ham may bo sub stituted for the anchovies, with bits of mushrooms added. To turn It Into a grand luncheon dish, put the tggs on a bed of chopped and seasoned spinach. And serve with squares of cornbread or corn muffins with a topping of chopped raw bacon put on before baking. WITH CURRY Then there's Scrambled Eggs with On-ry, which one can eat from early morn till midnight, Easter or no. You chop a medium-sized onion and fry It slowly In a small amount of butter. When tho onion Is a golden bown, add 1 teaspoon of curry nowricr, but don't tell anybody. A kit of people think they don't like It. Set It aside. Break 6 eggs Into a bowl, add 6 tablespoons cream. Beat well. Add to tho onion and curry a generous amount of butter, let your conscience and the amount of butter In the refrigerator guide you. When bubbly, add the eggs and cream. Cook over a low fire, stirring well and scraping up from the sides and bottom of the pan. When set nicely (be sure not to overcook) serve very hot on crisp roundB of buttered toast, with a mound of rice and a spoonful of fresh peas alongside. A few shrimp as a garnish ndd tone. Preface with well-chilled tomato or pineapple Juice. Eggs Benedict will always be a favorite Easter breakfast of mine. Simple enough with the new egg poachers which cook the eggs by steam, each In a neat little cup, and In the quantity you used to hope for with the old drop-and-baste method.

Serve with aspar agus tips in rings of tomato (tomato slices hollowed out to form a ring), baked in a moder ate oven. Coffee cake or tea ring goes well with this. Poached Eggs Tulip is a varia tion of this theme, (there are countless ones) and nice for the Easter time. On a slice of grilled ham, put a thick slice of ripe tomato. Season with salt and pepper and cook for five minutes under the broiler. Put a poached egg atop and cover with Hollandaise or a cheese sauce. Garnish with strips of green pepper. , AND OMELETS Omelets are such lovely things, and offer a lot of possibilities, not only for a main course most any time of day. But the sweet omelets, ah there's something to make history! These vary from those which are made by spread ing a plain or fluffy omelet with preserves of some sort and then folding. A spoonful of the pre serves may be used as a garnish. Or a tablespoon of the preserves may be beaten into the omelet mixture before cooking. ' And try using fruit juice In stead of milk or water often pineapple or orange Juice. The fruit Is then used to garnish the platter or placed on the omelet before folding. Powdered sugar Is always sprinkled over the top and usually sugar is added to the mixture. One that you'll like as a main course, I think, is the omelet plain, which has hot spiced apple sauce spread between the omelet. It should of course have broiled ham or nice little pig sausages and a good hot coffee cake as partners on the breakfast plate. By way of main course omelets, vary them with fillings such as creamed oysters, peas, pork Bau snge, flaked crab meat, tomatoes and sardines, buttered calves' brains, cooked rice mixed with green peppers and onions, minced stewed giblets, grated cheese, chicken livers and minced onion, chopped green peppers In tomnto sauce, d 1 c e d avocado, bacon strips, creamed ' chipped beef or chicken. Or, ndd seasoned corn and cream to the omelet mix, and a bit of prepared mustard. Between layers spread diced cooked hnm. Best of all, right now at least; Is this Easter Omelet: Cook H i pound of macaroni until tender. Dinln. Beat 0 egg yolks, add 1 cup rich milk, salt and pepper. Add macaroni, 1 cup boiled ham cut in squares, 1 teaspoon chopped parsley, another of chopped onion. Then fold in 6 egg whites, beaten stiff. Pour Into a huUrcd baking dish, bake in a fairly slow oven, S2S degrees, about '15 min utes. (Bettor set It In a pan of hot water If your temperature control Is not Just so.) Servo with corn sticks, boiled cauli flower sprigs and buttered peas. "And then, of course, there's the great family of souffles, sweet and otherwise. Good nil the year through and especially so right thin time of the year, the season of color, of gaiety, of warmth and Joy returning to a winter cold world, of lightsome spirits, Spring, and-Easter Eggs! PUFF SHERRY OMELET 6 rgiis 6 I(Mi'iimmi.i slirrry trine 'to (rn.iponH salt I tnltlespttmts butter Separate the eggs. Heat the yolks until thick and lemon colored. Add sherry wine and salt to the yolks and fold In the stithy beaten egg whites. In the meantime, melt the butter In a goodstscd frying pan. but do not let this brown, l'our in the egg mixture and let it cook slowly, lilting occasionally around the edges with a spatula or a broad blnded knife. When set. and browned on the bottom, if pos sible place In the oven low under the broiler to make the top firm. Cut at right angles to the handle, fold over snd slip onto a hot platter. If to he used as a sweet omelet, dust with pnwdcrod surii and brown lightly under lltc broiler, tiarnish with orange slices, or with peach halves baked with a bit of butter and brown sugar In the hollows. Food To Tempt A King , , ft A tastefully decorated and neatly laid out table adds much to the enjoyment of an Informal buffet supper. And here's Just such a table, all ready to. delight guests 'and rouse their appetites! Menu of By Joan RHUBARB la such a spring-like fruit, and is so good to look at, to eot and bo good for us, that It becomes almost our duty to serve rhubarb and two cups of crushed pineapple together until rhubarb might add. Regular, .two-crusted rhubarb pie is always welcome, but for variety try making these rhubarb "plelets." Make small tart shells ahead of time, and fill them when you are ready to use them. Here is the menu: Clam Juice Cocktail Lamb Patties (Ground Lamb Patties in Bacon Btrips) New Potatoes with Watercress Fresh Asparagus Rhubarb-Pineapple "Pielets" To make the filling for "pielets": Cook two cups of finely cut rhubarb and two cups of crushed pineapple together until ruhbarb Is soft. Combine two cups of sugar and four tablespoons of flour and stir them into the hot mixture. Simmer five minutes, stirring con stantly. Cool, fill pastry and top with whipped cream. For new potatoes with a truly new flavor, try serving them with chopped watercress. Cook the potatoes in their skins, peel, and heat them quickly In butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the finely chopped watercress (or parsley, If watercress Is not available) Just before serving.

Scald the milk in the top of a double boiler with the Bugar. Beat the eggs slightly and pour hot milk over them. Return to double boiler and cook until custard coats the spoon (6 to 8 minutes), stirring constantly. Re move from fire, then chill until very cold. If cooked a bit too long, so that It shows signs of curdling, place pan over cold water in the lower part of the double boiler, then beat custard with a rotary egg beater. Serve over apple snow. If i i h , V No. 123 Vf Fashion Tips (hi INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITY ON WOMEN'S ATTIRE Mlscha, whose Instructive and helpful articles on the problems of women's attire are a weekly feature of this magazine, deals today with individual types which frequently find difficulties in cor recting certain faults through correct apparel. THE short, stout woman, who often despairs because of her perplexing dress problem, has many a trick at her disposal to offset what she feels is an incor rectable fault. To overcome the conspicuous ness of her figure, the short, stout woman must plan to dress In such a way as to center attention on her face, thus diverting the eye. v Properly fitted gowns, which lay stress on long, vertical lines, are a great help in lengthening the figure. ' In addition, all trimming should be flat and smooth, eliminating fluffy ruffles or puffs. A long and narrow neck opening brings the eye upward, also. LARGE BUST Fdr milady with the large bust,' a simple method to render herself less conspicuous is in the avoid ance of close-fitting lines at the hips. Narrow skirts, too, should be avoided, as the contrast em phasizes the upper portion of the body. Again, a high belt, drawn in tightly, increases the effect of largeness. By the simple device of increasing the width below the bust, a far better appearance for the entire figure is obtained. Frills, ribbons and bows are re served for the small, dainty woman. They should never be affected by the large woman or the stout, florid woman. Heavy, bulky materials serve to attract attention to large shoul ders. In the case of a large neck, small collars and open necklines should be the choice. LARGE ARMS By observing the shadow or silhouette, a woman can immedi ately see the effect created by sleeves. When large arms are a prob lem, the square set or arm eye should always be used. In this Cooks' Kitchen Tours Conducted by Virginia Ross JELLY roll pans are not expen sive and you really need one to bake sponge rolls successfully. They're a sheot pan 15 by 10 Inches with a narrow rim. A deeper rimmed pan deflects the heat from the cake and so it doesn't brown nicely. You can use this pan as a cookie sheet, also. , Stir your Jelly smooth with a fork before you spread it on a Jelly roll. It will spread more quickly and smoothly. It pays to have wire cake racks. They let air circulate around the cake as it cools and prevent steaming and steaming is what gives the soggy bottom you often get when cake cools on a plate. If your layer cakes are thicker on one side than on the other, you may not be spreading the batter evenly in the pans, or the oven racks may not be level. Cover tapioca cream with canned apricots, top with a mer ingue, and bake until the mer ingue Is brown. I do this In my casserole or In custard cups. If you frost your cake on a large square of waxed paper, you can hold the edges of the paper and lift the cake easily onto a plate. Then trim off the paper with a small sharp knife. Have you tried Waffle Short cukes? Brush each waffle section with melted butter ond spread with Plum Jam. Then plaCc an other section over the Jam and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cream will whip more quickly if you have your bowl and beater cold as well as the cream. Use a deep bowl, and you won't get spattered; or if you have to use a shallow one. cover It with a piece of paper with a hole In the center to let the beater through. Delicious filled cookies were just made to put in the lunch box that has to be filled every day. And they're tine to send to the children away at school, for they are so easy to pack and they keep well rut your rolled cookies care fully so you can get as many as possible from the first rolling, for cookies cut from dough that has been rolled more than once are tniscltd way, slenderizing angles may be" obtained, while a fullness of sleeve is allowed for. At the same time, shirring, which always gives a bulging effect, is eliminated. Color, because it excites cer tain positive thoughts and feel ings in human beings, through association of ideas, holds a pri mary key to the secret of being well dressed. A cultured color taste will uti lize tonal blending of delicate hues rather than harsh, discord ant tones. The blond type is always at her best in black. A distinct contrast with the For the younger "Miss" just beginning parties we suggest this frock. Simple In line and detail, it expresses youthful charm, but it also gives the effect of dressi ness without being too mature. The Jacket follows the standard set In the dress. It is simple, but outstanding, In Its character. hair, and a consequent increase in its golden color, Is obtained through wearing of blues, greens and violets. Care must be taken, however, to avoid too intense shades, which may not harmonize with delicate skin tones and hair coloring. Red, orange and yellow will harmonize with the eyes and lend warmth to the skin. A cool blue-green is a becoming shade. never so tender. And don't add scraps of dough to fresh dough. Save them, and roll them out to gether at the last. If you plan to use bananas for a garnish, dip each slice In lemon Juice, and they won't turn dark before serving time. To get our perfect sections of orange or grapefruit, peel the fruit as you would an apple, cut ting off all the thick white skin. Then cut along both sides of each section, right into the center of the fruit to separate the sections from the dividing membrane. Sometimes when I make bread pudding. I like to spread the bread first with a tart jelly or Jam. It adds a bit of color and a flavor that's quite unusual. Save the juice from your fresh or canned fruits. You can use ,il for fruit drinks or for part of the liquid in your gelatin desserts. When pineapple is used with gelatin be sure it is cooked or canned. Raw pineapple contains a substance which acts on gelatin in such a way that the gelatin will not get firm. For a simple garnish on plain gelatin desserts. I like to use a bit of whipped cream topping sprinkled with 'chopped nuts, ' cubes of bright Jelly, candied fruit, date strips, or shreds of orange rind. A sprinkle of coco nut toasted or plain- Is prettv. too. Toasted cocoanut has a delici ous flavor and makes a wonderful garnish for puddings or Ice cream, toppings for frosting or meringues, or as an Ingredient In cakes and cookies.
