Put four tablespoonfuls of oil in a bowl which has been thoroughly chilled, or set the bowl in another contain^ ing ice water or bits of cracked ice. Next put in a half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of red pepper, mixing them together until the salt is dissolved, then add the vinegar drop by drop, constantly stirring, so as to blend the oil and vinegar together as perfectly as possible.

SANDWICHES TO MAKE good sandwiches use bread that is rather stale and cut in very thin slices, trimming off the edges to make the pieces even. It is better to butter the bread before cutting the slice, especially if the butter is not very soft. Whole wheat bread makes delicious sandwiches, and Boston brown bread is also an acceptable variety, both of these blending especially well with nut combinations for filling. If sandwiches are to be kept for some time after making they should be wrapped in a cloth dipped in cold water and then wrung almost dry. Put a dry cloth over this, and keep, if possible, in a tin box. Q Nut Sandwiches Almost any kind of nut makes a good sandwich. Have them ground fine and mix smooth with a little mayon* naise or use plain cream. A leaf of crisp lettuce used between the slices with the nuts is an improvement. Q Waldorf Sandwiches Chop apples and celery fine and use an equal part of each, with English walnuts ground as directed above ; mix with a little mayonnaise or sweet cream and spread between thin slices of white bread. 87 88 Oh! herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat. —Sidney Smith. Q Banana Sandwiches Mash ripe bananas to a pulp and add lemon juice to taste; spread between buttered whole wheat bread. Instead of crushing, the fruit may be sliced lengthwise and dipped in lemon juice or mayonnaise before being placed between the slices of bread. Q Lemon Sandwiches
