How to Dress a salad.

Bah" said a friend n night not
long ago, after we had been discussing
politics for 40 hour, "bah! let's TAX
about something good to eat!" And so
we poor ~impecunious devils, with not
money enough to go to Gaston's and get
8 chop, sat there and spread a Bsrmeci-
dan feast, Of all that was good to eat and
drink, coming over IN memory all the
good dinners and suppers we had ever
eaten, and as each dish that had tickled
our gourmand palate was remembered,
1t was brought up and discussed. How
cOokerybook French did suffer! Vot-du-
vents, pates, potGges, and Rll the various
~rIgmsroles Of q bill of fare, were each
separately disposed of. We had
determined what soup we would
have, what fish, how it should
be cooked, and what u should be on
it; the vegetables were ordered aud we
had agreed upon the meats, fowls and
game, and how they should be served
up, when all of our good fellowship and
unanimity was wrecked in a moment.
We bad struck upon q dish on which We
differed toto colo. "Now for a salad"
said be, 81 like the lettuce chopped up
fine, with a made Of vinegar, mus
tRrd, q little sugar" Horrible F!
sugar on lettuce it is an infamous
waste OF good things. Sugar indeed +!
Sugar is very good to sweeten pastry or
desserts, or tn put in coffee or whisky,
but in acknowledgements" And 30 we
wrangled as to how our Bermecidan let
tuce was to be dressed, until the fire bell
rang, snd we had to snatch up oil
note book and travel. But reader, that
salad question has been bothering US, and
we want to tell y0u how to make a salad,
and we guarantee if you try it once, you
will never eat the stuff generally called
salad again. The essential ingredients
are: good cider vinegar, pure mustard,
fresh eggs, and sweet oil made of olives
not Of lard. Begin with q ~teaspoonfnl
of dry mustard in q soup platei add
nearly sn equal quantity OF salt, a little
vinegar, and beat to 3 paste then add
the yolk of q fresh egg, and after thor
oughly rubbing and mingiing all with a
silver fork or spoon, add about halfa tea
spoonful of sweet oil, and stir until it is
smooth. 1t will probably then have q
shining, greasy look add a few drops of
vinegar, and it will, when stirred, ct
once thicken up, and lose the greasy
look entirely. When all is smooth
and uniform, add more oil, and
again a very little vinegar, if ne
eessary, to produce the same effect.
Our rule is to add as much oil as we can
cause to be entirely taken up, and to
stop before either the addition Of more
oil or vinegar will cease to thieken. The
dressing should be smooth as whipped
cream, and this, indeed, thoroughly
beaten up with the white Of 81 egg or
eggs, is an addition tothe dressing which
increases its delicscy and delieiousnsss.
In q good salad dressing the oil loses its
o~iliness, but pervades the whole with its
flavor, while the sharpness of the mustard,
salt and vinegar entirely disapper, each
ingredient adds q peculiar piqusncy to
the agreeable compound, which by con-
trast only hightens the crispy freshness
Of the lettuce and brings out its flavor.
