half a tea-cupful of vinegar one tea-spoonful of salt, and one tea-spoonful of pepper. Boil the vinegar, add the beaten eg*g and seasoning, mix the flour smoothly in a little cold vinegar, and add to the dressing; cook, stirring con- stantly until it thickens. Pour it over the salad, mixing lightly with a fork. Let it be cold before serving. Miss Alice Ficklix. POTATO SALAD. Boil five or six good-sized potatoes, boil hard two eggs, slice three onions and lay them in vinegar half an hour. When the eggs and potatoes are cold, take the onions out of the vinegar, put all together, and chop fine; add one level tea-spoonful of salt, one tea-spoonful of celery-seed, a tea-spoonful and a half of mixed mustard, and half a tea- cupful of vinegar. Make a few hours before serving. Mrs. Z. T. Moffett. POTATO SALAD. Boil five or six medium-sized potatoes ; when they become cold, slice them tolerably thin ; mix through them two cu- cumber pickles and two hard-boiled eggs cut fine. Prepare a dressing by adding to two well-beaten eggs a tea-cupful of vinegar, a slice or two of onion minced fine, a tea-spoonful of salt, half a tea-spoonful of pepper, one table-spoonful of mixed mustard, one tea-spoonful of sugar, a lump of butter the size of a walnut, and a tea-spoonful of celery-seed. Place it over the fire, and stir constantly until it begins to thicken. When cool, pour it over the potatoes, and set it away in a cold place until meal-time. Cold potatoes left from a pre- vious meal may be used, instead of cooking them fresh ; and a simple salad may be prepared by omitting the pickles and hard-boiled eggs. At a time when eggs are scarce, one will be found to do good service for the dressing. The New Kentucky Home Cook Book. 127 HAM SALAD. Take scraps of cold boiled ham, equal in quantity to one chicken, and chop it fine. Boil four eggs hard, chop the whites fine, mash the yelks, adding to them one tea-spoonful of pepper, two tea-spoonfuls of dry mustard, half a table- spoonful of sugar, one tea-spoonful of salt, and one table- spoonful of celery-seed. Mix in slowly one-half pint of vinegar. Fresh celery is best, and if used, take one stalk. Mrs. A. K. Glascock. FISH OR CHEESE SALAD. Take one pound and a half of cold fish chopped fine, one pound of cheese grated, three -table-spoonfuls of melted but- ter, one tea-spoonful each of salt, pepper, and sugar, one table-spoonful of made mustard, four table-spoonfuls of cel- ery-seed, one very small onion, three-fourths of a tea-cupful of vinegar, and three hard-boiled eggs. First rub the yelks of the eggs to a paste with the melted butter, adding the salt, pepper, sugar, and mustard, at the last the cheese, and then the fish. Mix all well together before putting in the vinegar. Mrs. Chas. E. Tabs. DRESSING FOR SLAW OR LETTUCE.
