MUST BE PERFECTION
SALAD NEVER A DISH THAT CAN
BE SIGHTED.
Clear Judgment and Much Care for
This Absolutely Indispensable Ad-
junct Of the Modern Din
ner Table.

Among the luxuries Of our bills OF
fare there Is not one that is more APP
preciated by everyone than we'll
made salad; there is no department of
cooking that demands clearer judg-
ment in making and serving than this
same salad: while all kinds, from the
richest to the simplest, depend on the
materials selected and their wise COM
bination.
All salads should be served very
cold and long standing injuries them.
Therefore make the dressing and place
it near the ice in the cooler before pre-
pairing the salad proper. When ready
to serve, chill the bowl and the indi-
vidual salad plate If you would have
your salad at its best.
Bread and butter sandwiches or
Boston brown bread thinly sliced
and delicately spread with fresh but
ter and filled with shredded lettuce
leaf sprinkled with ground nuts may
be served with any salad. But with
lobster, shrimp or fish salad. "bru.
nettes' are the proper caper; they are
made from the white bread and butter
sandwiches filled with Neufchatel
and minced cress. Mutton sandwiches
are liked with vegetable salads. They
are seasoned with herbs, assmint, pep
per grass. celery, salt, curry and
minced pickles.
For potato salad prepare cheese
straws, or spread graham bread with
mixture of snappy cheese and the
hard boiled yolk of eggs and seasoning.
The homemade cheese straws are far
better than the made ones, that are
sold in cartons, and will keep as well:
they may be reheated Just before us
ing.
Miss Grauel's recipe for cheese
straws: These are particularly nice.
and, II cut evenly, look dainty. Crate
three tablespoonfuls OF dry, highly sea
soned cheese, to 1t put one-half pint of
sifted flour seasoned with salt and pap
rika; rub together with tablespoon
of butter and cold water as for pastry.
Turn onto the Toured baking board and
roll out thin. Cut half the paste into
straws and the rest into rings Bake
until yellow and crisp in moderate
oven and serve with the straws laid
in the rings.
Rich and elaborate. salads are, served
as a course by themselves, but when
salad is to accompany meat course.
TT should be simple In character and
served on individual salad plates. Very
often the salad is placed on such plates
and the dressing passed with it on a
separate boat or bowl; this manner has
much to commend 1t.
With duck, rich fish ard water
fowl. acid salads are served. These
are made with good allowance of
lime. lemon Juice or Tarragon vim
egar. Cheese is passed with all green
salads and black coffee and saltines go
with all accompanimehts
Sweet drinks, as punch and fruit
drinks. are never served with fruit or
sweet salad

Exhortluu the Ducks.

There are two tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request, and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The
other day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up,' Then
two-year-old. noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex,
horted. "'Tand up. ducki 'Tand up
