and salt to taste. Boil the milk with the butter, thicken it with the flour, smoothed previously with a little cold milk; season to taste. When the milk is thickened shell the eggs, cut them into quarters lengthways, and put them into the sauce. Last of all, put in the parsley, and serve with sippets of toast laid in the bottom of the dish. MUSHROOM AND EGGS. 4 hard-boiled eggs, 1/4 lb. of mushrooms, 1 teaspoonful of parsley chopped very fine, 1 oz. of butter, pepper and salt.

MUSHROOM SOUFFLÉ. 4 eggs, 1 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, 6 oz. of mushrooms, pepper and salt to taste.

Then stir in the mushrooms, and turn all into a basin and let it cool a little. Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs, and stir each yolk separately into the mixture in the basin.
