before serving. If you like filberts in the salad, pour boiling water
on them; let them stand a short time, then throw them into cold water;
remove the skins, break into halves; put into salad before you pour on
the boiled dressing.

For a company of seventy-five, use six chickens, and six times both
recipes for dressing, and three pounds of filberts.



BEAN SALAD. MRS. W. E. THOMAS.

Cold cooked stringed beans, drained and dressed with a simple oil and
vinegar dressing, or mayonnaise, make an excellent salad.



TOMATO SALAD IN WINTER. MRS. DR. FISHER.

Take the juice from a can of tomatoes, and with gelatine make it into
a jelly that will mold. Lay a slice of this jelly on lettuce leaves,
and serve with mayonnaise.



CUCUMBER SALAD. MRS. ELIZA DICKERSON.

Two dozen large cucumbers, six white onions, chopped fine; salt well,
and drain twelve hours; add white mustard seed and celery seed; cover
with strong vinegar.
