Chicken Salad in Jelly.

Add to the water in which the chick
en- or fowl is to be boiled a small
onion. three whole cloves, a table
spoonful of salt, and a little celery or
parsley. When the meat is tender re-
move all the flesh from the bones of
the bird and chop it very fine. For
two and one-half cups of this chopped
meat which has been very carefully
freed from bones and skin and sea-
soned to taste with paprika and salt,
allow one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls
of granulated gelatin. Soak the gela-
tin in cold water, and then dissolve it
in cup of the hot chicken stock. Add
the gelatin to the prepared meat, and
turn into molds. If one has not the
proper molds for this, baking pow
der tin may be used and the meat cut
in slices when removed, or the mix
ture may be nodded in small cups.
The meat should be packed very solid
ly in the mold, which has been dipped
in cold water, and stand for several
hours in the ice chest before serving.
Arrange on lettuce leaves and serve
with a good mayonnaise dressing.
