"Like a woman, when an egg is good,there is nothing better; when it is bad, there is nothing worse."
"Eggs badly boiled are good things spoiled."
Put the eggs into a saucepan and pour on enough boiling water to cover them well, let it simmer on the back of the range for six minutes or less, but do not boil. Eggs cooked in this way will be creamy cl ar through and when boiled will be leathery and indigestible.
Brown two tablespoons flour in a piece of butter, pour in enough hot water to make a gravy, add some salt, dash of pepper, a little sugar, vinegar to taste, or lemon juice. Pour over hard boiled eggs or eggs that have been fried. If for fried eggs, use a heaping tablespoon finely cut bacon instead of the butter. Mrs. Schultz.

Mrs. F. E. Herrick.
