The better the lettuce, the more difficult 1t is to eat with nicety, for crisp leaves have . way of rolling cut from under the fork, while limp leaves lie more qliescent.

Salad Dressings That
 Are Tempting
By CHLOE JAMESON

 It is not always the easiest thing to think up new salad that the man will like and almost futile to try to get him to eat one that he has tired of. But there is one little compromise that invariably makes friends with masculine tastes and is also very little trouble to the cook.
 Instead of trying troublesome combinations of this and that salad ingredients, resort to the simple ex- pedient of crisp head lettuce with a different dressing. Men are notor- iously fond of caviar, and enough to make this dressing can be bought for very few cents:
 Caviar Dressing
 # cup mayonnaise
 1 tablespoon horseradish
 tablespoons caviar
 Fold horseradish and caviar in- to the mayonnaise. Serve with hearts of lettuce, or with whole tomato salad.
 Another ruse is to serve caviar fingers with plain lettuce hearts or crisp shredded lettuce dressed with French dressing. Or if you do not wish to buy the caviar, use anchovy paste as substitute, for flavor, and toast or fry the bread sticks.
 Caviar Fingers
 1 ounce caviar
 teaspoon minced onion
 squeeze of lemon
 cayenne
 F yolk hard-boiled egg
 A teaspoon parsley
 Butter thin finger lengths of bread. Mix caviar with one-half of the onion, few drops of lemon, and pepper and spread on the bread. Sprinkle with the egg yolk, (put through strainer), the minc- ed parsley and remaining minced onion.
