If he contrrrae to insist that thehens have formed a race-suicide pact we will simply have to avoid eggs as much as possible. 1 don't see any particularly bright prospects as far as this move is concerned, but we might make an effort by starting with an eggless cake, such as I have already baked with considerable satisfaction, as follows: To four tcacupfnls of sugar add one teacupful of beaten butter; then stir in one pint of sifted flour. One pound of chopped raisins ' (seeded) are . added and a cup of sifted flour stirred in. One and a half teaspoonfuls of powdered cinnamon cin-namon and a teaspoonful of hut-meg hut-meg are added to this together with one pint of sour cream ia which a teaspoonful of soda is dissolved. dis-solved.

PALE PINK IS ALL THE RAGE. Pale pink is everywhere in millinery milli-nery as in frocks, and there are pale pink hats in every Imaginable material ma-terial from felt to malines. Palo pink in combination with dark blue velvet, Is popular. Wide brimmed hats of flesh pink batiste are among the pink millinery usually trimmed In big soft bows or ribbon or nosegays or wreaths of tiny flowers. A crown of black or dark blue velvet vel-vet or dark pink and a band of pink covering two-thirds of the crown side, a stiffly charming little bunch of small flowers in pink and purple and citron posed primly on the front of the crown and extending a little way above it there is a hat indubitably modish and extremely pretty, too, which is more than one can say for all things modish. A touch of bluo on a pink hat Is chic, but the blue Is the French blue of Louis XV and Louis XVI, and the combination is never of the wishy-washy wishy-washy pink and bluo of the limp blonde's ideal. Take a hat of fully plaited pink malines with an inch or two of it extending beyond the wide brim and falling to often the frame of the face. Run a blue ribbon around the crown, through four heavy rings of violet beads, and let a fine plaiting plait-ing of the malines soar high above the crown from under this ribbon, and tho result Is a pink and blue hat unquestionably un-questionably sophisticated.
