=Peach Salad.=

(_English style._)

Cut ripe, fine-flavored peaches into quarters, after removing the skins.
Cover with champagne, thoroughly chilled, and sprinkle with tea-rose
petals. Serve at once.

=Peach,-Strawberry-and-Cherry Salad.=

(_London style._)

Let a large handful of fresh rose petals stand an hour or two in a cool
place in a cup of Hungarian wine. Strain out the leaves and pour the
wine over a quart of mixed fruit,--peaches pared and cut in quarters,
strawberries hulled and cut in halves, and cherries stoned,--all
thoroughly chilled. Let a handful of rose petals stand an hour or two in
a cup of thick cream; then strain the cream, sweeten slightly with
powdered sugar, whip to a stiff froth, and use as a garnish for the
fruit.

=Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Pimento Salad.=

Cut a large grapefruit in halves and remove the pulp with a sharp knife
to avoid crushing it; remove half the pulp of a large pineapple from
the core with a fork, after carefully removing the unedible outside.
Dress with white mayonnaise and serve upon crisp lettuce hearts. Garnish
with tiny bits of pimento. 2d.--Omit the pimento, lettuce and
mayonnaise, and dress with sherry wine and sugar. For a Christmas salad,
use the first formula and canned pineapple if the fresh be not at hand.
Dispose the dressed pineapple and grapefruit upon shredded lettuce,
having a circle of heart leaves around the edge. Dot here and there with
small stars cut from the red pimento with a French cutter. Or chop the
pimento fine and dispose in the shape of a large five-pointed star in
the centre of the dish.

HOW TO PREPARE AND USE ASPIC JELLY.

To make aspic for moulding or decorating a fish salad, use stock
prepared from chicken or veal, or from fish. For chicken, veal or
sweetbread salad, use chicken or veal stock, or a light-colored
consomme. In an emergency, aspic may be made from the prepared extracts
of beef, or from bouillon capsules. Aspic is often tinted delicately to
harmonize with a particular color scheme. A light-green aspic has been
found quite effective.

=RECIPE.=

To one quart of highly seasoned stock, freed from all fat, add the juice
of a lemon, a bay leaf, half a cup of wine and one box of gelatine
soaked in a cup of cold water. Beat into the mixture the slightly beaten
whites and crushed shells of two eggs. Heat to the boil
