Broiled Ham and Eggs
By CONSTANCE CLARKE,
The serving of the inevitable fried
eggs on a thick slice of broiled ham
with onion gravy is an inviting change
om the usual dish. "
Take slices of ham of the same
thickness and broil tnem carefully to
a nice brown color. When done, ar
range on a hot dish and put a cover
over to keep warm while frying the
eggs. -When these are ready arrange
them on the slices of ham with
French fried ootatoes. Serve with
tuen gravy in a sauceboat j
"Onion Gravy Take two table
spoonfuls of butter, two large onions
chopped fine, salt and pepper to taste.
Put the butter in the frying pan, set
this on the fire, put in the onions
and fry them a light brown, season
and pour in a teacupful of water, stir
ring the contents; let it boil up, then
strain. For thickening this gravy,
melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in
a frying pan, add' two tablespoonfuls
of flour and stir till, a light brown
color; add it to the strained gravy
and boil it up quickly and use.

The child in the tenement who can

of veiled shadows. The scoffers are
wrong. ' . . ,.
One may fight pain on its own
ground by seeking temporary respite
from it, In the midst of heat the
thought of cool breezes in pine forests
may give a little more strength for
enduring reality when one comes back
to it.
In dreams one forsets the sordid
and ugly, and in that moment of re

Loss of "Self Mania"
By DOROTHY DIX.
A middle-aged woman, broad-minded,
tolerant, philosophical and cheer
ful, said tb me the other dayj,
"Do you know what the one great
compensation of age is? It's getting
rid of self. Self is the Old Man of
the Sea that youth is cured with,
that youth must hear upon its shoul
ders, crushing it to the earth, rob
bing life of liberty and pleasure.
"It is only when we free ourselves
from this intolerable burden of self
that we know what real happiness is
and can have any comfort and real
treedom. .
I remember when I was a girl
that I felt that the eyes of the whole
world were UDon me. and that in
any company I was the observed ff
an oDservers. inac maoe me iranu-
cally anxious about mv clothes.
A last season s hat a skirt that
was a quarter of an inch too ong
or too snort for the prevailing mode.
sleeves that weren t the very latest
wrinkle, were tragedies to me, for
it never even occurred to me that
every human being I met was not
taking note and commenting on the
detects of mv costume. -
"Now I realize that I am merely
an inhnistesimal atom among those
also present in the great mass of hu
jnanity, and that I should have to
deliberately get myself up like a scare
crow or a fashion plate to have any
one even give me a second glance.
I know that the great hurrying mass
of men and women,- absorbed in
their own affairs, give no more
thought to my clothes than they do
to a last year s bird ncjt, and there's
a peace that passes all understanding
m the knowledge.
"And I remember th tears that I
used to shed when I was young be
cause of thinking that I was neglect
ed or slighted. My ego was so bg
it filled the whole world for me then,
and it would break my heart if I
went to a dance and the. most fas
cinating man there didn't rush over
to me and out his name on mv nrn.
gram for a half dozen waltzes.
Myl but the grouches I have cher
ished, the bitterness I have accumu
lated in mv soul, the oillnwe I hivr
w6t with my weeping, because some
one tailed 'to speak to me who, I
thought, should have spoken to me
or I didn't receive some attention
I considered duel '
.."But (fo I weep nqw over snobs,
or make myself unhappy over slights,?
I do not. I laugh at them when I
see them, which isn't often. I'm not
thinking of myself enough to notice
whether anyone is kowtowing to me
or not, ii people uxe rne ana pay me
attention, it is, of course, pleasant to
me, Dut if they don't I am so fully
agreed with them that there are so
many other people better worth while
than I am that I rather respect their
judgment in overlooking me.
"And as for criticism, I used to
simply wither up and die under that
I suppose I must have considered my
self the one perfect and flawless crea
ture in an otherwise imperfect world,
for I still recall being stabbed to the
heart by hearing a man describe my
nose as pug, instead of saying it was
tip tilted, and how I hated a girl
cousin who said I had molasses candy
hairl - . .
"But criticism rolls off of me now
as harmlessly as water from a duck's
back. I do not expect the world
to stand before me in gaping admira
tion, nor refrain from mentioning my
faults and short-comings when it
?rows eloquent over other people's,
have made too many mistakes and
blunders and have seen myself too
squarely to have an atom of conceit
left in my system, and so I've come to
look on having my defects pointed
out to me as a friendly tip that helps
me do better, rather than malice that
is intended to wound me.
"And I've got over the idea that
I was destined for some great pur-
fose in the scheme of things. When
was 16 .1 used to worry a lot, won
dering what my mison was. I was
sure it was something stupendous,
that I was to inaugurate some great
reform and lead everybody up to a
higher life. I don't bother about
that now. I don't feel that I'm called
upon to police anybody's morals or
manners, or cut them over according
to my pattern, or taiake other peo
ple accept my standards. I'm sat
isfied if I can keep my own skirts
reasonably clean, and that takes a
load of responsibility from me..
"And I've quit thinking that my
happiness is the most important thing
in the world. When I was young I
was plunged into the depths, of de
spair if every little thing didn't go
my way. Now I know that whether
I am sad or gay, whether I am dis
appointed or gratified, does not really
matter. I know that there are mil
lions and billions of things far more
important than my personal pleasure,
and so it has become almost a mat
ter of indifference even to me.
i "When we cease to think of our
selves very much we have found
the secret of real peace and content
ment Nothing can hurt us deeply
any more, nothing can wound us
greatly, for the thing that suffered
has ceased to exist. Also when we
lose self we find others, and in mak
ing those others happy we find hap
pi'ess ourselves." v
