Cut hard-boiled eggs in halves crosswise, cut a slice off of each end to make them stand up. Remove the yolks and chop and mix with minced veal, chicken or other delicate meat. Add a little cream and season with salt and pepper and a little nutmeg. Put this mixture into the whites, press it smooth and put the 2 halves together, like whole eggs. - Mrs. James Ellis, Palatine, Ill.

Variation I

Take 1 dozen hard-boiled eggs and cut each • in two around the center, cutting off also a little piece from one end so they can stand on end as did the egg Columbus handled. Pulverize the yolks and mix with some finely minced chicken, smoked tongue or lean ham; moistening with a little fresh butter or vinegar, seasoning with salt, pepper and mustard. Put this filling in the empty whites, press the 2 parts together and stand on a platter, like a whole egg. Pour a little vinegar over the remaining filling and pour over the eggs. - Mrs. C. J. Jeffries, Winnetka, Ill.
