Stuffed Tomatoes Peel sound tomatoes, and scoop from stem end a part of center. Place them on ice and just before serving fill with celery cut fine and mixed with mayon- naise. Put a little mayonnaise on lettuce leaves and place the stuffed tomato on the dressing in the center of each leaf. Tom.atoes may be stuffed in the same way with chopped veal, celery and veal or chicken, celery and sweetbreads or chopped hard-boiled eggs and shredded lettuce. A very pretty salad may be made by preparing the tomatoes as above, partly filling them with mayon- naise and pressing into each one half of a hard-boiled eggf letting the rounded top rise a little above the tomato, and serve on lettuce leaves as above. To Serve Tomatoes Take off a very thin peeling, and cut the tomato from blossom end to stem end in six or eight points, according to size of tomato. Then open the tomato, leaving the seed in a round bulb in the center, and place mayonnaise around the seed.
