MAKES PLEA FOR
LOWLY SANDWICH
This Form of Serving Food Is
Very Seldom Used; Un-
told Vanity

lOIu dL1ty
Said the practical tourist. Pray, what
shall we take
On our journey for every day fare?"
But the Arab guide smiled, the desert
was wild
Yet he knew of some sand-which-is
there.
A score or more years ago some in
ventive genius accustomed no doubt to
carrying cold snacks" during his am
bilious days, reached down and lifted
the humble sandwich up into the
limelight of popularity. Result: the
club sandwich, the bite containing all
the chemical values of a complete
meal and just big enough to satisfy
that sort of hunger which does not
care much one way or the other.
1t is a peculiar fact that outside of
the club sandwich, the hot dog" the
afternoon tea sandwich and the twin
slices of the portable lunch box, this
form of serving food is very seldom
used. Yet it would be most inviting
dish for Sunday night supper, for
MONDAY lunch and even for break
last. Novelty. Give us novelty" is
the cry of the housewife. Then she
proceeds to jog along in the same old
rut dishing up her foods in the same
old way and wonders why her family
are not more appreciative of her ef-
forts A wise woman makes of her
family dining table a place of delight
1ul surprise and unexpectedness.
Friend Husband may not always ap-
prove but at least he will not grum-
BILE about her lack of interest and
he will be on the spot with appetite
whetted by curiosity.
This Is the Lenten season when meat
is not extensively used in many house
holds, therefore Il is a most excellent
time to introduce the sandwich. The
bread should not be too fresh Gone
day old is best) and the thinner II Is
cut the better. The crusts should be
/ removed. They can be kept for
crumbs or dipped in batter and fried
for another meal. II butter is used it
should be of good quality for in soft
ening 1t in order to spread to better
advantage any foreign flavor or odor
will be brought out. 1t is not in the
least necessary to use butter and
mayonnaise both in the same sand
witch. When using lettuce and
mayonaise alone for n filling ! usually
run the leaves through the meat
chopper then thoroughly mix with the
dressing before spreading. This is not
only the quickest way but the sand
iwich can be more easily handled and
eaten, For formal afternoon affairs
where guests retain their gloves IL is
"a most decided help,
