beaten until light
Boil all but eggs and beat into the

Reliable Mayonnaise (uncooked)-
as nearly all the rich salads, like lob
ster and chicken, require d mayon-
naise dressing. the first thing to know
how to make that, after which the
various combinations are simple.
The trick in making mayonnaise,
with nc chance of failure, is TO have
the best olive or refined vegetable
oil to start with. fresh eggs that have
everything cold: oil. fork and egg
beaten.
Take a clean bowl and drop into it
the y0lks of two eggs tor one egg if
you are going to make only small
quantity Stir lightly with silver
fork. then add quarter teaspoon Of
salt, same amount of pepper. Mix
we'll, then pour in the olive oil little
by little beating all the time. AT
first the oil must be added very slow
ly. but as the mixture begins to thick
en- it may be added in larger guam
titles.
After d few moments exchange the
fork for The eggbeater, which does
the work more rapidly and thorough
Iy. In 10 minutes you should have
thick, glossy mixture that fills a pint
bowl three-quarters full. Now add
tablespoon of lemon juice and tea
spoon Of tarragon or cider vinegar
Keep adding oil until you have used
a cupfui of the oil Taste the dress
ing, and If you want it a little more
acid. add more vinegar.
To increase the amount Of mayon-
naise whip the whites of the eggs

all means he should not spend the
money, but put It in the savings bank.

tinue writing, go back over the ones
you have written and improve on them.
After you have worked at them for
