Popular Dish.


Sandwiches are SO mussy that
have come TO refusing them entirely
at teas and receptions" said a woman
who had sacrificed several pairs OF
nice gloves to mayonnaise OF creamy
sandwiches. Her prejudice against
these morsels of food. 50 inevitable
an offering at any place where a half
dozen people meet, would not have
been so strong had the sandwiches
been properly made. Where a soft
filling or mayonnaise is used it should
not be spread to the extreme edges Of
the bread. At least an eighth of an
inch all round will save soiling the
gloves.

dainty of all, and are most frequently
made without any filling more than a
thin coating of butter. The bread
must be less than IL hours old, and
If but barely cool 1t can be used

thin. Bread that is more than half
a day old is too tender and crumbly.

easier and more saving to trim the
loaf rather than the thinly sliced
bread.
