To Make Celery Decorate
the Table

Take one large stalk of celery or several
small ones. Cut off the roots and save
for salad. Cut the stalks lengthwise into
equalsized branches and wash them well
IN cold water, then cut each one into pieces
about the length of ones finger. With the
aid of small sharp knife make five or six
slits in each piece starting from the top
downwards leaving half to three quarters
of an inch uncut Place the pieces IN
cold water with plenty of ice leaving
them in for two hours. Lift from the
ice-water and arrange on a round glass
dish so that the "friiled" edNas of celery
will form a hower-like border. Celery
served this way makes an artistic dish.
OF course It requires a little time and
patience in preparation.
