Sandwiches of all kinds are made by spreading two slices of bread with butter and placing them together with meat between them. Bread should be twenty- four hours old, must be moist and light; cut quite thin slices with a very sharp knife; spread them thinly with nice fresh butter, then with your hashed or sliced meat. After the chicken is cooked, chop it fine, when cold, to almost a paste, then moisten this suf- ficiently so it will spread easily, with softened butter, a little cream, salt, pepper, and a little mustard if you like, but it must be very little. Spread and put two slices together but do not press much; when ready to serve cut in fancy shapes, diamond, oblong, etc. Cover with damp napkin till ready to use. Veal Sandwiches. Chop the nice, small pieces that are left from a veal roast, and moisten with the veal gravy. Lamb Sandwiches. Are made the same way as veal, moistened with the gravy and seasoned to taste. The meats to all, must be perfectly smooth and spread evenly. Tongue Sandwiches. Boil the tongue the day before you wish to use it, let it cool in its own liquor, take out, peel. Next day slice, chop fine, add enough sweet cream, softened butter, and seasoning of salt, pepper, or mustard. The tongue should have been in brine three or more weeks. A fresh tongue has no relish. It should be a beef's tongue. The Queen Cook Book idi Ham Sandwiches. To a coffee cup of lean ham finely chopped, add three tablespoons of butter, the yolk of one beaten egg, season as needed with salt, pepper and a very little mustard. Just let it get boiling hot, then -per- fectly cold before spreading your buttered bread. Another way is to mix the ham with mayonnaise dress- ing to a soft paste, and spread between your buttered thin slices of bread. Sardines, tongue, chicken, or lobster, may be mixed this way in place of ham. Chicken Salad No. 2. Boil two chickens tender, salted as for table, take out skin and bone and all discoloring. Cut in strips, and then in bits the size of large peas; put chicken and celery on ice. For dressing; the yolks of four fresh eggs, with the yolks of two hard boiled eggs. Rub these smoothly. A good measure of butter or oil is a tablespoon to each yolk of fresh egg. All the art con- sists in introducing the butter or oil and vinegar by degrees. It takes time to make a good salad. When the oil is well mixed put in two teaspoons of salt, one small even teaspoon of white pepper, two tablespoons of vinegarChicken Salad No. 2. When ready to serve mix celery and chicken well, then with a silver fork stir in the dressing, mix- ing thoroughly. This salad to be crisp must be made the day it is used. The best salad for health is simply crisp lettuce with sugar and vinegar on it. These mixtures do for a treat. / Cabbage Dressing. This is very nice when one can not obtain celery for % dressing for a chicken salad, made in the same way
