(pintbppit J50et6ef ♦ 0ne can of shredded pineapple ;
one pint of water; one pint of
sugar. Pour juice of pineapple into a bowl. Put the
fruit into a saucepan with the sugar and water, and
simmer twenty minutes. Add the juice, and cool; then
freeze. Some people add the beaten white of an egg and
one tablespoonful of sugar. This is mixed in after the
ice is frozen. Cover, and stand away to ripen. I think
the egg improves it very much.

What is more tempting than a dainty Salad ? Crisp,
fresh, and cool it must be, for alas! how depressing is
a combination of wilted lettuce and warm mayonnaise!
Theodore Child, to whom we are so indebted for ideas
and suggestions on gastronomic art, in 4 'Delicate
Feasting" claims that the so-called French dressing "is
the most delicate, the most worthy of the gourmet's
palate, and the most hygienic." People speak always of
a simple French dressing; yet it is nothing short of an
art to mix it properly. Put the salt and pepper into
the vinegar (in this way they dissolve quickly), and
pour over the lettuce, turning each leaf so that it will
get its share. Then add the oil, which should be twice
the quantity of the vinegar. Stir all well, and serve
immediately. Lovers of oil prefer using it first in the
dressing, as the flavor is always strongest of the ingre-
dient used first.
