Now take two or three of the eggs and cover them with bits of onion skin and odd pieces of gay- colored ribbons, then sew each egg neatly in a thin piece of cotton cloth and put them into a little strong coffee. Boil gently for several minutesj lift, put into cold water until cold, then remove tho wrappings. Or, after the egg is done up, put it into bluing water and boil it, and after it is cold and the wrappings are off rub it with a slightly buttered cloth. This will give a nice gloss and preserve the color.

Hiding the colored eggs in nests and having the hunt on Easter morning, is a custom that is supposed to have originated in Germany. The Ven- etians are responsible for the so-called portrait eggs. The eggs were blown of water with enough flowers of sul- phur to color it deeply. Boil gently until the onions are soft and the water well colored, add the eggs and cook until they are the right shade. The Batik eggs are not hard to do.
