to form an amber jelly, or the canned
salmon may be served in the same way:
Jellied chicken is easily prepared, ana
makes an attractive dish, especially II
there are stoned olives served with it,
or quartered eggs around the mold. or
chopped aspic jelly. Cold lamb, sliced
thin. is improved by a border of broiled
tomatoes, and cold roast beef is rem
dered more appe ,izing by them also.
If there is neither hot dish nor one
of cold meat for the main course, then
there may be a rather heavy salad,
either chicken lobster, or a potato
salad made by mixing equal parts of
potato. English walnuts and stoned
olives with mayonnaise. and putting 1T
on lettuce; but if there is another dish
besides. then light salad, such as
plain French dressed lettuce or tomato
| or mixture Of tomato and cucumber
| is best.
! Vegetable salads are the best for
summer. Cold cauliflower. string beans.
peas or asparagus, with either French
! dressing or mayonnaise. is delicious.
and tomatoes with a mayonnaise mixed
with chopped English walnuts is excel
lent.
Sandwiches of Various Sorts.
Sandwiches to be eaten with salads
may be made in dozens of ways. There
is the watercress sandwich. made by
spreading chopped cress on bread and
butter and rolling, sticking a bit of
the green in either end; the cheese
sandwich, made by spreading thin
brown bread and butter with cream
cheese mixed with chopped waInuts,
white bread and butter spread with
shavings of lemon. hard boiled egg.
chopped fine. mixed with mayonnaise
and spread on bread and butter, cut
into forms. such stars or circles. or
crackers spread with grated cheese and
n little red pepper. heated in the oven
until they are crisp.
Cottage cheese refreshing for
supper on warm evenings. To make.

coffee. not tea. with the salad. except
in warm weather. when an iced bever-
age. tea punch. or claret cup with
mint. will be found refreshing. served
either all through the meal or al the
close with the dessert:

by pouring boiling. sweetened lemon
ade over dry tea leaves and allowing
it to stand until the tea is as strong
as desired, when II Is cooled and iced
