Cover with mayonnaise or cream dressing and garnish with hard boiled eggs and parsley. ~JELLIED CUCUMBER~--Pare and slice cucumbers and cook in water to cover until tender. Drain, season with salt, a few grains of cayenne, and to one cup of the cooked cucumber add a level teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in a spoonful of cold water.
