turning the crosspiece at the center,

These rice areas are divided up into fields or

PREPARING The SALAD
IMPORTANT POINTS THAT MUST
BE REMEMBERED.
Flavor Should Be Varied, and That Is
by No Means a Hard Task-Mix
the Dish Immediately Be-
fore Serving.

Avoid giving all salads the same
taste by flavoring them with some
condiment one is perhaps over-fond
Of. Variety is the main spice Of
salads as of life. While connoisseurs
all agree that pure, fresh olive oil is
the best for salads, there are people
who prefer the fat smoked bacon and
relish its flavor above all else.
It Is we'll to remember that we
should know how to substitute one
condiment or another, II necessary,
and not go saladless for want Of one
particular flavoring material.
Salt is perhaps the one indispensa-
BILE seasoning, and of all flavoring
substances the onion is the most valu-
Eble and enjoyable to all, even to
those who would not willingly eat
the salad II they knew the onion had
been used. For use in salads, how
ever, the onions must be mild In flavor
and their presence cunningly con-
cealed.
Salads Of all kinds should be gently
handled. That is, they should not be
heavily turned, but mixed in very
large bowl, by running the fork and
spoon down the sides of the dish and
then gently tossing the salad with an
upward movement, letting It mix as 1t
falls back.
In mixing a plain lettuce or other
green salad 1t is we'll to put the oil on
arst and then carefully toss the leaves
about until all are covered, In every
part, with thin coating OF the oil.
Then add the other ingredients and
toss again. A small quantity OF oil
Is sufficient when this method of thor
,ugh mixing Is observed.
Lettuce should always be very care
FULLY cleaned several hours before It is
wanted and then wrapped in a wet
cloth and put directly on Ice until It is
wanted.
A salad should never be mixed un-
III Just before It is to be served.
The various accomplishments OF a
! salad add much to its attractiveness.
One thing full OF possibilities is the
wafer. These should always be crisp,
and II they are damp they can be
crisped in the oven. Small waters
favored with cheese are delicious with
salad. So are thin salt waters dotted
with butter and sprinkled with pep
