potato loaf of white. Take the crust from the white
loaf, using a sharp knife. Then instead of cutting crosswise cut in thin
lengthwise pieces. Treat the brown loaf in the same way. Butter a slice
of the white bread on one side and do the same with a brown slice. Put
the two buttered sides together with a thin layer of fresh cream cheese
between. Next butter the top of the brown slice of bread, spread again
with cream cheese and lay a second slice of buttered white bread on top.
Repeat until there are five layers, having the white last. Now with a
sharp knife cut crosswise in thin slices. Sometimes the cream cheese
filling can be varied with chopped pistachio nuts or olives, or it can
be omitted entirely. In any case, it is delicate and appetizing.

~CHEESE CROQUETTES~--Cut one pound of American cheese into small dice.
Have ready a cupful of very hot cream sauce, made by blending a
tablespoonful each of flour and butter, and when melted adding a scant
cup of hot milk. Stir until smooth and thickened. Add the cheese to this
sauce, also the yolks of two eggs diluted with a little cream. Stir the
whole and let it remain on the stove a moment until the cheese gets
"steady." Season with salt, red and white pepper, and just a grating of
nutmeg. Put this mixture on the ice until cold, then form into small
croquettes and roll in fine bread or cracker crumbs. Dip in beaten egg,
then again roll in the crumbs, drop into boiling fat and cook to a
golden brown.

~CHICKEN AND PIMENTO SANDWICHES~--Add to finely minced chicken, roasted
or boiled, an equal amount of pimentos. Moisten with mayonnaise and
spread between wafer thin slices of white or brown bread. A leaf of
lettuce may also be added.

~CRESS SANDWICHES~--Take thin slices of rare roast beef and cut into
small pieces. Add an equal quantity of minced watercress dressed with a
teaspoonful of grated horseradish, a little salt and paprika to season,
and enough softened butter or thick cream to moisten. Blend the
ingredients well, and spread between thin slices of buttered graham or
whole wheat bread. Cut in neat triangles, but do not reject the crust.

~BANANA SANDWICHES~--Remove the skin and fibers from four bananas, cut
them in quarters and force through a ricer. Mix with the pulp the juice
of half a lemon, a dash of salt and nutmeg and set it away to become
very cold while you prepare the bread. This should be cut in very thin
slices, freed from crusts and trimmed i
