WOMAN'S PAGE. ; Coddled Eggs and Oyster Loaf BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. During the seven days of this present Week, known in the church calendar a8 Holy week, the homemaker, whether for religious reasons or not, is apt to serve fish and eggs with more than usual - frequency. For those whose scruples have nothing to do with the SERVE THE OYSTER LOAF STEAM- ING HOT. viands served, the fact that fish is featured in the markets, and is there- fore apt to be particularly good, and that eggs are reasonable are two ex- cellent reasons for using these edibles. ‘The recipes given may lend zest to menus. Butter egg cups and dust with fine bread crumbs that have been seasoned with salt and pepper. The butter will make the crumbs adhere to the cups. Drop one egg in each cup. Set the cups in a pan of cold water and put into the oven. When the whites are solid remove from oven, sprinkle with bread crumbs mixed with a little finely minced parsley. Dot with butter and set in the oven until the butter is melted. Put a tiny sprig of parsley on top of each egg and serve piping hot with toast or toast dreams. These latter are made by spreading seasoned cheese between slices of buttered bread and sauteing in hot melted butter in a frying pan. Cut off the top of a loaf of sandwich bread that is a day old. Scoop out tne center, leaving about three-quarter inch of bread, lining the crust all around. Rub the bread between the paims of the hand or press through a coiander to give coarse, fluffy crumbs. Fill the bread-loaf case with oysters scalloped with the bread crumbs. Over Everyday Psychology BY DL;!S[ W. SPROWLS. Graphology. Graphology is the science or art of character reading from handwriting. There are two fundamental assump- tions underlying this so-called sclence: 1. That your handwriting is a re- duced picture of the gestures and facial expressions you make while talking. Your handwriting, therefore, expresses your emotional and temperamental make-up. 2. That your handwriting has your individuality in it, just as your finger- rints have. No exact duplicate can be ound for either in another individual. Crepieux-Jamin calculates that there are 857 septillion ways of making the figure 1. Since this number of ways is many times greater than the total popu- 1ation of the world, graphologists natu- Tally assume that they have a chance of distinguishing one person’s handwriting from another’s, provided you give them several samples to study. Prof. Alfred Binet, who invented the now widely used intelligence tests some 325 years ago, regards graphology as something worth considering serioygly. He says: “I believe I have demon- each layer of oysters pour part of well beaten egg mixed with three four tablespoonfuls of rich milk cream. Season highly with salt, pep- per and a little celery salt. When the loaf is full put on the top of the bread. Tie it securely in place. Put in a covered mut.lnfi pan in slow oven to heat through, first bas it well with hot milk. Have a hot water in the bottom of the pan under the grill. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the cover, baste the loaf with melted butter and hot milk. Cook un- | covered for 10 minutes longer, basting the loaf several imes. Serve’ at once on a hot platter. A spoonful of Hol- | landaise or tartar sauce may be put on the plate with each serving. If not a highly seasonied pickle mixture -hould accompany the loaf. PAINT UP The house that’s dull and dingy makes passing people say, “The fellow must be stingy who keeps his shack that way. Perhaps he is a miser who doesn't grasp the truth that it 1s vastly' wiser to decorate one’s booth; to buy some yellow ochre and pigments red and blue, and stripe the shack and , stroke her with every dazzling hue. Perhaps he lacks ambition to make his | dwelling neat, to better its condition till it adorns the street. And if in this he's heedless, he’s lax in other things; he's lacking pep and speedless, he's soaked his watch and rings. His cottage gives us notice his pride has ebbed away, and where the fellow’s goat is, is not for us to say.” Thus people view the build- ing that shows no sign of care, that's lacking paint and gilding, that's run down everywhere. They size up, then, the owner, as one who cuts no grass, whose whole life is a boner, whose words are sounding brass. But when they see a dwelling that's bright with pea-green paint, the air around it smelling of roses, red and quaint, they say, “By James, the fellow who holds that cottage down is neither dead nor yellow, he ornaments the town. His enterprise is ample, his pep beyond compare, he sets a good example to people everywhere. His spirit does not slumber, but it is blithe and quick, he splashes green and umber wherever paint will stick. He's no despondent varlet, no pessimistic gink; his pump is painted-scarlet, his woodshed’s paint- ed pink.” Oh, it is most surprising how he improves the view, and how much advertising a can of paint will do!

MISS DIX—Our bunch has had a discussion .as to which makes the best homemaker, the home girl or the business girl. - What do you think, and why? .. M. R. 8. Answer: It depends on the girl's individual temperament and taste, not on :’.nm:l&:;e the girl has spent her time previous to being married in a kitchen -or The old idea that every girl is domestic by nature and slmply yearns to get her hands on every pot and pan in reach has as little foundation in fact as would the bellef have that every man is by nature a carpenter and cannot be happy unless he is bullding something. Women as well as men have different talents and different tastes, and were cut out for different careers. ‘There are women who are horn ‘cooks--who' can take a pinch of this and 2 dab of that and a spoonful of something else and turn out a dish that is fit for a king. They have only to pass their hands over the pot, as I once heard an old colored woman boast that she did, to flavor it and make its contents delectable. i Such women's bread always rises. Their cakes are never heavy. Their ple crust is never soggy. Their meat never tough. But they cook by ear, so to speak. It is an inspiration with them just as much as singing is to a prima i‘}:‘r:mfie" writing to an author, and they love to cook because they are following eir bent. p There are other women who have & talent for sewing. They are artists with the needle. They have magic in thelr fingers and can give a twist to a bit of ribbon that makes it a poem, or & turn to a fold that makes it a picture, and they love to sew because that is the way in which they express themselves. But there are other women who loathe every form of housework and to whom it is never anything but drudgery that they do with set teeth simply because they consider it their duty to do it. They never learn to cook. They can make coffee for 40 years and still make it so mean it is grounds for divorce. ‘They can make bread every day of their lives without achieving a biscuit that isn't & first aid to the undertaker. The needle is a tool they never learn to master. They can wear themselves to a frazzle darning socks and still leave them bumpy. They can follow every direction of a cut-paper pattern and never achieve anything that doesn't look as if it was designed for a scarecrow. Yet these domestic women may never be able to learn how to run a type- writer or sell goods or add up a column of figures correctly, while the woman who is an utter failure as a homemaker may have a positive genius for business and be a great success as an office woman. If we would only consider women' ural gift in this matter of domesticity we would save ourselves a lot of trouble. It would save many a marriage from going on the rocks if men would only realize that women's talents are as strongly marked as men's, and if, when a man marries a woman who hates housework and loves business, he would let'her keep on with the work that interests her and for which she has a turn, and hire a woman who knows how to cook and likes to substitute for her in the kitchen. If a man wants to be sure that he is getting a domestic wife, he must take into consideration her temperament and not her previous condition of servitude. Sometimes a woman has been forced by circumstances Into busincss but is a natural-born homemaker, and the fact that she has had no training or ex- perience in housework doesn't make a particle of difference. She will take to a gas range like a duck to water because cooking is the thing she was born to do. The very finest housekeeper that I know is a woman who, up to the time of her marriage, had held a high-salaried position as a private secretary and who had never so much as made a plece of toast in her life. When she got into her own home she was in her native element. She reveled in fixing it up. She glorified in carpets and draperies. She regarded cooking as her fine art and her dinners were masterpieces of culinary perfection, and because she had back of her years of training in efficiency, in promptness, in budgeting, she not only ran her house without friction, but with the least possible waste of time and effort. On the other hand, many home girls who have had to cook and wash and scrub all of their lives, are tired to death of it, and they regard marriage as an invitation to come out of the kitchen, which they accept. Many a man marries a girl because she is a good cook only to find that she will never cook again, and many a woman keeps house all of her life without ever learning how to | do it because she is bored to death by it and takes no interest in her job. So whether the home girl or the business girl makes the more domestic wife depends on the girl. It is the individual performance that counts. DOROTHY DIX.

After planting seeds in your garden cover the ground with twigs or wire netting so that cats, hens or dogs will not scratch them up.

It s very nice to have bouquets thrown at one, but not when they are metal, like those shown in the accom- panying illustration. But these are very nice to have in the house, where are not only decorative but very useful. ch of these dainty (though heavy) uets is equipped with a long screw at the hack so that it may be installed in the window casing. Thus it may be used for a curtain hold-back. As to finish, this is in the .varlous flower colors; as well as antique gold, antique silver or wrought iron. ‘With organdie, marquisette or any of the more sheer fabrics, the colors would be charming, but with damask or brocade the antique gold or silver would be more appropriate. And then, of course, the wrought iron would be attractive with curtains of velvet or damask of & dark shade. Can't you just see a room with orchid- rufled organdie curtains caught back over the small bunch of violets in violet, yellow and green finish!
