Egg Chowder

Fry 2 or 3 slices of salt pork till quite brown, then add 4 or 5 potatoes, sliced, and hot water to cover. When potatoes are done add 1 pt. hot milk and slice in 5 hard-boiled eggs. Let boil up once. Add a generous lump of butter, with salt and pepper to taste, and serve at once. - Mrs. C. J. Can-thorne, Wilmette, 111.

Egg Soup

Put 4 tablespoons of rice in 1 qt. of stock; cover and let simmer gently for 20 minutes; press it through a sieve and return to the kettle. Beat the yolks of the 2 eggs, add to them a little of the hot soup; turn this into the kettle; stir for a moment, until it reaches almost the boiling point. Do not let it boil, or it will curdle. Take it from the fire; add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 saltspoon of pepper, and serve at once. - Mrs. C. E. Worth, Wheeling, 111.
