An unusual way Of serving olives at
teas and receptions is to cut the olives
from the stones, chop fine and mix
with salad dressing. Spread this on
thin slices Of buttered bread, form the
sandwiches and cut in squares.
Stuffed olives are very good prepared
In this way.
There Is something about a sardine
sandwich which is especially appetiz-
ing. Bone the fish and mix with a lit
tie lemon juice and salad dressing or
with chopped hard cooked eggs. A
sour pickle chopped fine instead of the
lemon Is a pleasant change.
Veal SandWiches-These are al
most as good as chicken and If the
veal can be cooked with some chick
en- bones or a little chicken stock,
they can hardly be told from chicken.
When the meat is tender, put 1t
through the meat chopper, seaso- with
salt, pepper, and add a little Alad
dressing to make 1t sufficiently moist.
Spread on buttered bread.
Egg and Curry sandwlohes.-Put
through the fine knife Of the meat
chopper three yolks OF hard cooked
eggs and & teaspoonful OF bread
crumbs. Season with a tablespoonful
Of curry powder, one-half te~aspoonful
Of salt, one teaspoonful Of Worcester
shire u and moisten with a little
lemon Juice. Spread on buttered
slices OF bread. Garnish with nastur-
tium leaves and blossoms.
Ham sandwIehes.-Put q pound and
a half Of ham, cold boiled, and a small
sour pickle through a food chopper,
add a tablespoonful of made mustard,
a dash Of pepper and two tablespoon
fuls of butter. Mix thoroughly and

RATHER A PECULIAR HOBBY
Chief Executive Of Now York Said to
Nave a Marked Fondness
for Pigs.

pigs Ia pigs" with Mayor Gaynor
OF New York. They are his favorite
animals, on foot. Besides raising
quite a number himself at his farm
Deep Wells, at st. James. L. l., he al
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs.
The piglsss folk of st. James hear
from him land he uses Just as sharp
language IN his neighborly converse
ton as ne does in writing letters to
rat catchers, eto), and hear from him
oft I until they annex a few pork
ers ~ a side line. Several denizens
OF that locale admit they keep a few
Figs Just to keep peace In the village.
Once a boy did him a really good
turn and he desired to show his ap-
probation Of the act. OF course tho
boy got a pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive a visit from him.
Whenever he hears t. At a pig II Ill,
no matter II II Is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
presorbes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known to walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indispossd pig.
When the mayor visits his country
plaza at the end OF each week during
the summer there Is always a group
Of villagers on hand to greet him. Al
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead Of acquiring about their
health, he says, How are your
