Latest Salad Achievement.

A few days ago clever woman gave
good-by luncheon at her country home in
Staten Island before she closed it for her
return to the city. Now this woman has
never quite invented a new animal or a new
fruit, but she has invented methods of
using these things which as nearly approach
original creation as even that clever woman
will ever come.
The latest achievement was offered at her
good-by luncheon 1t was an apple salad
and this is how she made it: She used for
the basis solid tart apples, pared and cut
into small bits. With this she mixed an
equal quantity Of celery, cut in bits of the
same siZs.
After thoroughly mixing she dressed
them in the salad bowl with simple mayon-
nsise made as follows: Into the yoke Of
one egg previously beaten a sufficient guam
tity OF salad oil was slowly dropped to make
a thick cream, which was then thinned to
the proper consistency by vinegar, added as
carefully.
Add pepper and salt to taste, and the
mayonnaise was ready to dress the salad
