Soak gelatine for fifteen minutes in one teacupful
of cold water, then pour the boiling water, the lemons,
squeezed, then stir in the sugar, then strain and pour
over the grape fruit pulp. Pour in a mold, and when

Tongue Jelly

and replacing it with salt and pepper. While hot, pour
enough in a mold to cover two inches. Cool, and when
stiff enough not to run, add a layer of sliced boiled
tongue and small onion pickles✪ Tongue Jelly. Over this pour the
remainder of the gelatin, being careful that it does not
melt the bottom layer so as to ruin the mold. Chill
and serve with lettuce and mayonnaise.

Lettuce Salad, No. 1
Separate and let stand in ice water one hour. Rub
the salad bowl with onion; carefully wash and dry
the lettuce leaves ; place in bowl and bring to the table.
Lettuce rapidly absorbs the flavor of the onion, and
it becomes a pleasing but not overpowering ingredient
of the dressing.
To make dressing for eight persons, measure six
salad spoonfuls of oil, or melted butter; pour on the
lettuce as measured, tossing lightly; then dissolve in
two spoonfuls of vinegar, two saltspoonfuls of salt✪ Lettuce Salad, No. 1,
pour over the leaves, and after a thorough tossing,
serve. The secret of fresh dressing is that given the
proper proportion, each leaf should be thoroughly
moistened.
