SPRING SALADS.

VARIETY in salads is welcome 20
" the capricious spring appetite
and those concocted OF fruits,
fish or unusual ingredients are sure Of
being acceptable after the heavier
salads of the winter menu.
A properly made salad appeals not
only to the palate but to the eye as
we'll, so Il Is wise to devote little
time to the study of novel and
effective garnishes. Study should also
be given to the making Of several
kinds of salad dressings and to ascer
tanning with which kinds of food they
bes, combine SO as to be wholesome
and digestible
Lettuce must be fresh, we'll washed.
crisp and cold. and wiped dry before
Il is used. so that water will not thin
the dressing. Celery should be white
and crisp. onions. shaiots, leeks. garlic
and chives must be fresh and ready at
hand If needed The best olive, wal
nut or peanut oil that can be pur-
chased or the best butter to melt
should alone be used.
Fruit salads, always appealing. are
doubly so when spring brings the
fruits in variety. All juicy fruits pre-
pared for salads should be placed in
little white enamel strainer over
bowl while they are chilling SO that
when the salad IL prepared the juices
may not thin the dressing. The fruit
juices may always be used with car
donated water for q cold drink. or
made up as q pudding sauce.
Apple Salad.-Pare and core three
apples that are frm and tart, then
cut them into matchlike slender
pieces, keeping them IN ice water until
the rest Of the salad Is prepared to
prevent them from turning black.
Take two navel oranges. remove the
peel ana white skin and WITH sharp
knife cut in thin circular Slices and
place to drain. Cut stalk Of celery
also in thin slices and chop finely one
half cup of nut meats. Take the heart
