SOME FRUIT SALADS
DESIRABLE ADDITIONS TO THE
DINNER MENU.
Apples Cut in the Shape of Tulips Are
the Foundation of One of the
Best of These Recipes
Lettuce Salad.

This is the season when salads are
+ noticeable feature Of d dinner The
fruit salads are very nice and may be
prepared in numerous ways. One
pretty way 20 make a fruit salad is
known as the tulip salad. Select very
bright red apples and do not pare Re
move the cores and slice the sides in
little points to give the appearance
of tulip and scoop out the contents.
Make a filling of chopped oranges,
bananas, pineapples and the meat
from the apple. Drain off all juice and
mix the fruit with chopped nuts. In
each dish place an apple on white let
tuce leaves, preferably the small ones
from the heart of the lettuce, and mix
a few pieces of parsley in it to give a
neat effect. Fill the apples with the
fruits. After the dessert is served
pass a dressing made of mayOnnaise
and the fruit juices previously ex
tracted
Orange shells may be filled in the
same manner and just as pretty are
the lemon receptacles made from lem
on rinds. a lettuce salad is made by
filling lettuce leaves with finely
chopped cabbage and celery. This is
placed in small dish and surrounded
with a layer of beets run through the
ricer. You have no idea what a pretty
decoration the beets make and the
color can be changed by mixing the
nuts with finely chopped celery. The
meat chopper is best for making this
Save celery tops for decorative pur-
poses.
In making the mayonnaise, one real
ly should use a good egg beater to
make all ingredients very light, for
this gives the desired smoothness to
the mixture. Oils should be gradually
added, and all acids added when the
mayonnaise is done to prevent it from
curdling. By all means cook your
mayOnnaise if you do not wish it to
taste of raw eggs. Use sliced eggs,
picked onions, and olives to garnish
vegetable salads

preparation of S32,OO0,0O0.

The Senate Committee On Public
Buildings and Grounds has reached an
agreement on the omnibus public build

would then call the measure up for
consideration. He announced further
that the bill would carry an increase
Of about 100000 over the House bill.
This will bring the total up to about

Senator Scott explained that a large

PRINCETON, N J, May $50 much
doubt exists as 10 the cause of the death
OF Bertha Vanderbilt. the assistant Ii
brarian or Princeton. whose body was
found in Raritan canal yesterday, yhat
her body will be held here until a
thorough examination uf the mystery is
made. Coroner MOke. Of MlddleseX
county, believes II a case Of accidental
drowning. Chief of Police kIf5u, of
Princeton, is firm in the opinion that
the girl met with foul play.
The discovery that the girl had a
sweetheart, George Millin'an. a student
at Renssaeler Polytechnic. adds another
angle-that of suicide. although Miss
Vanderbilt was apparently happy
Chief Kllfoirs theory is that the dead
girl was the victim OF some one who
was Jealous Of Mi"iman. There is a
severe brlise on the dead girls fore
head and bad bruises or both OF her
cheeks. Kilfcu says Il IS impossible
for such bruises 10 have N5en inflicted
