Rolled Bread and Butter.

There is a knack about preparing rolled
bread and butter for tea not every
possesses. To roll easily the
bread must not be more than a day old,
while the loaves should not be more than
five or six inches in diameter Cut the
slices very thin with sharp knife. but
tering each time before slicing Trim off
the crust and roll lightly, pressing just
enough to have the folds adhere. If liked
the bread can be spread with a fine
paste of shrimp, anchovy, chicken, cream
cheese, salad or fig before rolling. If
watercress Is used a wooden toothpick
holds 1t in place in the center of the roll.
