CABBAGE SALAD.
To a dish of chopped cabbage, four teaspoons of celery seed, or one bunch of celery. Put in a bowl, yolks of two eggs, one teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of butter, one teaspoon of pepper, one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of made mustard, one-half teacup of vinegar. Set the bowl into hot water, stir carefully until it begins to thicken. Let it get cold. Pour over the cabbage. If it does not moisten it enough, put in a little more vinegar.

Yolk of one egg, salt-spoon of salt, mustard-spoon of mustard, one cruet of oil put in very slowly, and when well beaten add one tablespoon of vinegar.
CHICKEN SALAD.
Boil the white meat of two large chickens; cut it coarse, and add the white part of celery cut coarse; a little more chicken than celery.

Three yolks of eggs, well beaten; one pint of oil added drop by drop, and beaten; the juice of two lemons, one teaspoon of dry mustard, a little cayenne pepper, a little salt. If not moist enough beat the whites of two eggs and add to it.
Mrs. Geo. Gould.
CHICKEN SALAD.
Use the white meat of two good sized chickens, and celery enough to make the proportion one-third chicken and two-thirds celery; boil ten eggs hard, rub the yolks perfectly smooth with a silver spoon, adding gradually four tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of made mustard, two teaspoons of salt, one teaspoon of black pepper, half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and one tablespoon of sugar; add sweet cream by degrees until about the consistency of batter. Just before sending to table, mix the dressing with the chicken and celery, and moisten with sharp vinegar. The juice of two lemons is an improvement.
Mrs. W. N. Sage.
MAYONNAISE DRESSING.
