attractive garnish. Let the celery
stand In cold water for time and the
fringes will curl. The ways of combin-
Ing celery with other foods is number

cupful Of minced nuts-pecans are
best-one and one-half tablespoonfuIs
OF mayonnaise dressing; salt aud

white buttered bread.
Celery Fritters.-Barboil the celery
until nearly cooked; after cutting into
three-inch pieces season with salt and
pepper and dip in fritter batter. Fry
In deep fat and drain on brown paper.
Serve hot.
Dreamed Celery in a Cheese She'll
Use the shell of pineapple or Edam
cheese for receptacle. Cook the
celery until tender; add 1t to rich
cream sauce with cupful OF parboiIed
oysters. Pour into the shell, cover with
buttered crumbs and bake until the
crumbs are brown. Do not have the
oven too hot or the cheese will melt
or burn and the beauty of the dish will
be spoiled. liz
Celery and Grapefruit saIad.-Take
three sections Of grapefruit with the
membrane removed; arrange In a nest
Of head lettuce with nicely shredded
celery and few shredded almonds
that have been blanched. Put BAH
Of mayonnaise in the center and serve
well chilled.
Scrambled. Eggs With ceIery.-Melt
one tablespoonful of butter, add four
tablespoonfuls Of chopped celery; cook
slowly for Is minutes; add four eggs,
half cupful of milk, stir until set,
