Two Kinds of Salads.

This is the first rule to be learned.
in the matter of salads, that they are
of two kinds. There Is the light,
tasty salad served between the heavy
course of meat or game and the des
sert. Or, when game is not served,
and the meat course is light, heavy
substantial salad will often take the
place OF either or both, and is diff
ferent dish entirely from the simple
lettuce or fruit with a plain French
dressing
For the light salads make the
French dressing of oil and vinegar,
varied with other condiments to taste
For ordinary tastes, salt and pepper is
enough. Rub the interior of the bowl
with an onion If the flavor is liked.
Watercress is a happy medium. for
salad, but with this oil should not be
used. There is no reason for this,
but the result is better with plain
vinegar, moistening the yolk of a
hard-boiled egg, and seasoning with
salt and pepper.
Whipped cream is an excellent addi-
ton to any mayonnaise. 1t makes it
light in consistency and not so strong
In favor.
Fish, meat, shell fish, make hearty
salads which should not be served
with any other heavy dish. Reserve
these for lunch or tea when meat
Is not served.
Banana salad is of better flavor If
nuts be added. A good way is to
leave the fruit whole, and after peel
ing, rub it in crushed nuts until the
banana is enveloped in them like a
croquette. Serve with mayonnaise.
An oil dropper is of great help in the
mixture of mayonnaise. If the dross-
ng curdles add lump of ice.
