enne. 1 teaspoonful of anchovy paste. 4 tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise or boiled dressing. _Method._--Chop the meat and pound to a paste in a mortar; add the seasonings and mix well. Remove the crust from a loaf of moist bread; cut in very thin slices, trim each slice into a rectangular shape, spread lightly with soft butter and then with the mixture. Roll the slices and tie them with ribbon. Omit the anchovy paste, if desired. =Epicurean Sandwiches.= Cream four tablespoonfuls of butter and one teaspoonful of mustard. Press the yolks of four hard-boiled eggs through a sieve and add them to the butter and mustard. Then add four boned anchovies, four small pickles, a teaspoonful of chives and a sprig of tarragon, chopped together until fine. Cut stale bread in fingers or other fanciful shapes, and spread with the mixture. Press two pieces together. =Halibut-and-Lettuce Sandwiches.= Put a pound and a half of halibut, a slice of onion, a stalk of celery, four or five peppercorns, one teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of lemon juice in boiling water, and cook, just below the boiling-point, ten or fifteen minutes, according to thickness. Remove bone and skin and rub the fish fine with a wooden spoon; add half a cup of thick cream, a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of white pepper and one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Spread this mixture, when cold, on buttered slices of bread, put a lettuce leaf above the mixture, and spread a teaspoonful of mayonnaise or boiled salad dressing on the lettuce; finish with a slice of buttered bread and tie with ribbon. =Lobster Fingers.= Chop lobster meat very fine; season to taste with French dressing. Cut the bread in pieces about four inches long and an inch and a half wide. Finish as usual. Garnish with parsley and the slender feelers of the lobster. =Tower of Babel.= Pile a _variety_ of sandwiches in form of a pyramid (use bread of different colors). Arrange a garnish of parsley and radish rosebuds around the base, and on the top a few sprigs of parsley, or celery plumes. =Nasturtium Folds.= Flavor the butter with nasturtium leaves and blossoms, and with it spread a thin slice of _moist_ bread, which is longer one way than the other. Press fresh nasturtium leaves and blossoms upon the butter and fold one half over the other. =Harlequin Sandwiches.= Spread a bit of brownbread with butter and French mustard, and a bit of white
