For dressing, the yolks of four raw eggs ; beat into them

of salad oil, one teaspoon of salt, one of pepper, two of
sugar, two of mixed mustard, one-half a teacup of vine-
gar, one calf's sweet bread, and two heads of lettuce✪ Sweet Bread Salad.
For dressing, mash the yolks and mix the oils thoroughly
in them ; then add the raw egg well beaten ; mix the other
ingredients in slowly and thoroughly, adding the vinegar

it up in small pieces; break the lettuce also in small
pieces, and then put in a dish alternate layers of lettuce
and sweet bread and dressing. Use the whites of the
eggs sliced over the top.

sweet breads, and substituting salmon. Put the salmon

with slices of lemon and celery ; a little chopped cabbage
or lettuce may be added, if desired. Boiled ham chopped
and seasoned and served in the same manner, is a very
nice dish.
CHICKEN SALAD.
Mrs. Chas. Duffield.
The yolks of six eggs, well beaten; one-half pint of
melted butter, or the same quantity of olive oil ; three
tablespoons of mixed mustard (or more if it is not very
strong) ; salt to taste ; two teaspoons of celery seed ; mix
thoroughly; then add three-fourths of a pint of strong
vinegar; place over the fire, stirring constantly until it
become thick, like boiled custard. Turn the mixture
over the chickens, which have previously been chopped
(not very fine). Just before bringing to the table, add
four heads of chopped celery. If it is not strong enough
of spice, add more mustard and cayenne pepper. This is
enough for one boiled turkey, or three small chickens.
The same dressing makes an excellent mixture for sand-
wiches, if used with finely chopped boiled ham or beef
tongue, but should not be salted.
