J of sandwiches, and
have even wondered why a monument was
not raised over his lordship's body Just

| of all sandwiches They ate them and
| smacked their lips over them centuries ago.
| Did anybody ever do anything that the
Rom ans did not do first? Well II this poor
earl did hot create the sandwich he chris
tened it. The Romans had very different
name for it, but sandwich by any other
rame would taste as well.
One thing is firmly rooted and grounded
in my mind. If this gentleman of the gam
ing table had eaten a cheese sandwich
the cards would have been forgotten in
the delights Of tempting morseL AS we
have more time than ne mot being so
desr rerately wickedD, let us invite a few
coneenial friends to eat these cheese sand
wiches-and gossip This Is the way we
shall make them First mix to paste two
thirds of cuDful of grated cheese (and
the older the better), one tablespoonful of
butter. yolk # one egg, one-fourth tea
spoonful of salt and a little cayenne pep
per-not much. Paprika is nice instead of
cayenne. as 1t has a spicy taste, and not
quite so hot. BE sure that you get the
genuine Hungarian paprika. After the in
gradients are well mixed spread on thin
slices of bread. That is certainly an ideal
sandwich for luncheon If you want to
make a change once in while use strips
of toast instead of bread.
Peanut Sandwich.
An egg sandwich is not to be despised by
any means. The hen may be very hum
BILE bird. but she is chairman of the WAYS
and reans committee. A picture of her
should be in every kitchen. Treat her
rererently and make good use of her eggs

better than III this sandwich Boil the
eggs hard and either slice them or mash
with silver fork. Season with salt and
niue paprika, or cayenne, if preferred, and

they come to luncheon or tea There are
so many things that can be uttlized-let-
tuce, water cress. celery. cucumber. rad
lshes. tomatoes. then creams of lobster
salmon: shrimps. and. well. really there are
riore than we can possibly think of. With
lobster salmon and shrimps If little cay

improved. The caviar is always a favorite,
and II you want 1t extra fine use brown
bread instead of white. Then we have the
anchovy and smoked salmon. which are
positively delicious. Celery may be used in
two ways-chopped fine with salt sprinkled
wiches may be made either way Also Let

which have been mixed with mayonnaise
or French dressing. With all these differ

the ordinary. everyday meat sandwich,
which Is not TO be laughed at when we are
very hungry. 1t has stood by us in our
school days through thick and thin-more
often thick.
The Alan JOhnstOne Sandwich,
A man who has made himself famous in
the sandwich line is Alan Johnstone, for a
long time second secretary of the British
embassy. He introduced his creation to the
metropolitan Club. and it Is no wonder the
club still preserves the recipe. After eating
Cne of these sandwiches you will go down
town and buy British flag to wave in
triumph In the dining room over this deli
Cacy: Make a chicken salad, with mayOn-
naise. of course, and thoroughly heat it,
not warm. but stedming. lay between thin
slices OF hot toast, and serve wrapped in a
napkin to keep hot. This recipe has been
copied and altered somewhat, and called a
"Johnstone sandwich" Instead of using a
chicken salad. filling Of cream of chicken
is made and put between the slices of
toast 1t is very. very nice.
A most seductive sandwich Is made by

but you will want to take it in allopathic
doses.
Take thin slices of cold brown bread, and.

One Well Remembered.
There Is certain house in this fine town
where the hostess makes and serves to
her guests a most delightful club sandwich
The evening I was there those sandwiches
were simply exquisite, and, really, If there
had not been a last car to catch. we might
still be eating. These good things were
made by slicing very thin the white meat
of chicken or turkey. and put with
lettuce leaf. which las been dipped in
mayonnaise, between slices of bread, cut
three-cOrnered. A dainter sandwich can
not be found, and when you eat these like
! Oliver Twist. you will want more"
Always when making sandwiches trim
the crusts. Dry and roll and put them
away. to be used for making crocuettes
That is what the New Englanders call be-

dimes which have been carefully and dain-
