THE HOUSEHOLD

Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

We may indulge. our summer taste
for salads without feeling that we are
doing anything unpatriotic, for all
the INGREDIENTS needed for the con-
coctins of a tempting summer salad
come outside the recommended re-
strictions of the food administration.
In summer the only thing that is
needed for delicious salad is good
dressing There is such variety of
fresh crisp salad greens and vegeta-
bles and fruit that given a good
salad dressing it is always possible to
set forth a cool and tempting salad
Boiled Salad Dressing-The follow
ing boiled dressing is very nice with
tomato jelly, fish salads and fresh
green salad herbs and with a bit of
ing for sandwiches. 1t may also be
used on bread or rolls when a butter
boy colt has been called. Beat two
eggs together, add tiny pinch of
salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, half
scant tcaspoonful of ground mus
tard and half cupful of milk. Mix
well and then stir in quarter of a
cupful of vinegar. Cook the mixture
until it thickens taking care to stir
it constantly to prevent curdling.
Upon removing from the fire let it
cool and then add a few drops of
olive oil.
With Egg Whites-To beaten yolks
of three eggs add 1 teaspoonful salt,
2 tablespoonfuls sugar, 1 rounded tea
spoonful mustard. one-quarter spoon
cayenre pepper. Mix well, add 2
tablespoonfuls melted butter or milk.
| Heat one-half cup vinegar in double
| boiler, pour in other ingredients and
