end of the egg should have the shell removed from it then if you take a small piece of the white you have ample room for salt pepper and a small piece of butter which may be mixed with the egg without difficulty Long handled porce lain teaspoons are the nicest and only proper things to serve with boiled eggs Soft boiled eggs may also be eaten from a heated egg glass the egg being opened carefully and turned into the glass Salt black pepper and butter are the proper seasonings Just at present there is quite a craze among certain young women for chew ing gum Where formerly the seduc tive quid was only chewed furtively and in secret places it now engages the jaws of the young woman every where The chewer is no respecter of persons or places Whether it be on the street in the theater at home in the parlor or on the tennis court it is all the same The untiring masseters of the fair chewers work on in happy unconsciousness of the contemptuous glances of disgusted spectators If the girls knew what their physicians would tell that the habit makes their faces lean and sallow the jaw large and prominent ami what is worse stretches and deforms the mouth and produces wrinkles they woulc
