quickly), and prepare half as many thin slices of cheese. Beat up one or
two eggs, and season with salt, mustard and pepper. Soak the cheese in
the egg mixture, then put each slice between two slices of apple,
sandwich style; dip in the beaten egg, saute in hot butter, and serve
hot.

=Salad of Lettuce with Cheese and Vegetable Macedoine.=

Mix together a ten-cent cream cheese, a canned pimento (red) cut in tiny
cubes, one-fourth a cup of small green string beans, cut in cubes, five
olives, chopped fine, and enough cream to hold the mixture together.
When thoroughly mixed, use a piece of paraffine or confectioner's paper
to handle and give the mixture the original shape. Let stand in a cold
place, wrapped in the paper, until ready to serve, then dispose in the
centre of a salad dish, lined with lettuce leaves, dressed with French
dressing. Slice the cheese with a silver knife before sending to table.
At luncheon, mayonnaise may be served in a dish apart.

The term "sandwich," now applied to many a fanciful shaped and encased
dainty, was formerly used in speaking of "two slices of bread with meat
between." In this sense, the word had its origin, about the end of the
eighteenth century, from the fact that the fourth Earl of Sandwich was
so infatuated with the pleasures and excitement of the gaming-table that
he often could not leave it long enough to take his meals with his
family; and, on such occasions, a butler was despatched to him bearing
"slices of bread with meat between."

The fillings of savory sandwiches may be placed between pieces of bread,
crackers, pastry, _chou_ paste or aspic jelly. When preparing sweet
sandwiches,
