pointy Dellcacy for Luncheon.

A delicious savory for luncheon or
tea is made by cutting some hard
boiled eggs in two lengthwise; the yolk
is then removed and pounded up with
some grated cheese-allow half an
ounce for each egg-a little whipped
cream or butter and small quantity
of tomato sauce, the seasoning being
cayenne pepper and celery salt. The

the mixture. This dish should be &C.
companied by toast and butter.
