Cracked or chipped eggs are not allowed to spoil in Kansas, but are preserved by canning. During the process of "candling" or sorting with regard to size, freshness and cleanli ness. many broken eggs found. These would keep In cold weather, but In summer time soon spoiT. The canning process consists In breaking the eggs into carefully cleaned tin cans, then placing the cans In freez ers. where the eggs are frozen In a solid mass, after which they arc placed In cold storage. The can| are of ten-pound capacity, each hold ing about twelve dozen eggs. Some cans contain only whites others yolks only, and others both whites and yolks. Bakeries and Ice cream factories are large consumers of canned eggs.—Popular Mechanics. Shrimp Toast. Remove the shrimps from a small can, put them In a colander and let the water run through them until every particle of the liquid In the can has been removed. Let them stand for an hour, then wash again and remove all the black veins. Melt a tablespoonful of butter In a sauce pan and heat the shrimps In this; take them out and put them In a hot dish while a sauce Is being prepared. Into the dish from which the shrimps were taken put one cupful of milk, add a teaspoonful of butter, a little salt and pepper and four well beaten eggs. Stir until the 1 mass Is creamy, then have ready some slices of toasted bread cut into fanciful shapes. Arrange the hot shrimps cfn these, pour over them the eggs and serve at once. The slices of toast should be freed from all crusts and well buttered.—Emllle Fox. \ jttINXS fofl the.] S^nOUSEKEEPEIRj A few cloves added to coffee while Toasting it will give it a good aroma.

This one is simpli city Itself, yet drapes the flgura with graceful lines and folds and can be utilized for almost every seasonable material. In the illustration it makt 3 part of a costume and Is mad*; of buff linen braided with white sou tache combined with embroidery. In place of the soutache and the em broidery applied trimming can be used if it Is desirable to lessen the labor of making. The coat Is made In one piece, the only seam being that at the centre back. It is held beneath the arms by means of straps and can be closed v Ith ornamental buttons and cord as Illustrated or in any way that may be liked. Chiffon on Straw. The novel trimming on a large Mi lan straw was all or white chiffon, the upstanding part being quills made of folds of the chiffon with a line of satin for the stem. Silver aiul Gold Touches. Plaids are fashionable for light weight fabrics such as voile, etaaiine and gauze. The colors most employed are blues, delicate reds and browns fading into buff. Silver and gold trim many of the new gowns some where and somehow. ' Coat Mystery. The shape of many of the choicest evening coats Is a mystery to evfiry ono but the designer and maker. , Boas Hag the Throat. The boa Is dainty as poaalble, very small but very ruffly, with pleated butter-colored lace mounting to the ears and chin In a thick ruche, a smaller frill pleated about the base of the throat, and a ribbon tied between bowed either in front or behind. Neck Dressings. The latest Innovation in neck dressing Is the black ribbon stock, with bow at the back and ends that reach far below the hip line. These sash collars are worn with every kind of costume, from the simplest lin gerie frock to the dressiest afternoon toilet.' Flye-Oored Under Petticoat. Close fitting underwear is abso lutely essential to the smart fitting gown at the present time and the five-gored under petticoat makes a desirable feature of the wardrobe. This one can be laid In inverted pleats at the back or gathered as liked, although the former method is to be preferred unless the figure is exceptionally slight. It can be made from lingerie materials and trimmed with embroidery or lace and It is also Bulted to flannel skirts. Also It can be finished at the upper edge with a belt or under-faced as liked. The skirt Is made In five gores and when the frill Is used It Is arranged over the lower edge. The aide gorea are fitted by means of hip darts, so doing away wiui all fulness at that point. The quantity of material required for the medium sice is three and one eighth yards of material twenty-sev en or two and three-quarters thirty six. Inches wide with three and one half yards of embroidery seven lnchei wide and two and three-eighth yard* of Insertion to trim as Illustrated; 01 one yard of additional material thlr ty-Blx Inches wide if the frill Is made to match.
