~SPANISH TOMATOES~--Choose ten or a dozen large tomatoes, cut a slice
from the stem end of each and scoop out the inside. Put the pulp into a
basin with two ounces of melted butter, two tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice, half a pound of chestnuts, boiled and grated, and seasoning of
salt and white pepper to taste. Fill the tomatoes with this, which
should be about the consistency of thick cream, spread with a thick
mayonnaise, garnish with chopped parsley and serve on lettuce leaves.


~TOMATO BASKETS~--Tomato baskets are charming accessories for holding
vegetable salad, chicken, shrimps, cold beans, asparagus tips, shredded
celery, cucumbers cut in cubes and minced peppers. Choose firm, smooth
tomatoes, not too large and as nearly one size as possible. Dip for half
a minute in boiling water, skin and set in ice box to chill. Cut out
pulp and seeds, dress the cavity with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar,
then fill with the salad, seasoned with French dressing or mayonnaise.
Handles of watercress may be attached to these baskets. Set on lettuce
or cress, as desired.


~TRIANON SALAD~--Cut one grape fruit and two oranges in sections and
free from seeds and membrane. Skin and seed one cup white grapes and cut
one-third cup pecan nut meats in small pieces. Mix ingredients, arrange
on a bed of romaine and pour over the following dressing: Mix four
tablespoons olive oil, one tablespoon grape juice, one tablespoon grape
vinegar, one-fourth teaspoon paprika, one-eighth teaspoon pepper and one
tablespoon finely chopped Roquefort cheese. This dressing should stand
in the ice-box four or five hours to become seasoned.
