Boil Irish potatoes in skins, peel and cut in small blocks. Mix with half the amount of chopped celery and one fourth the amount of broken pecans, blanched. Season with Mayonnaise No. 2.

POTATO ROSE SALAD.

Two cups of hot Irish potato, yolks of two hard boiled eggs, two tablespoonfuls of butter and a little onion juice mashed through a potato masher. When cold, add one cup of finely minced celery, season with French dressing and shape into roses with a pastry tube or form the petals with a teaspoon on a lettuce leaf. In the center of each rose put a drop of Green Mayonnaise. On the side of the plate put a little ball of cream cheese mixed with pimentoes and mashed between two halves of English walnut meats.

PINEAPPLE SALAD.

CUCUMBER BOATS.

Cut six, fresh, green cucumbers lengthwise in half, carefully remove inside and put boats—cut side—on ice until ready to serve. Cut the inside into small slices, cut four firm tomatoes into small pieces and one small white onion finely chopped. Drain well and just before serving, toss together with a French dressing. Fill boats and put on romaine leaves. Fine to serve on the same plate with deviled crab at a morning bridge party.

TANGERINE SALAD.

Peel tangerines, divide the lobes and carefully remove seed. Sprinkle with ground pecans and serve on lettuce with mayonnaise.

BANANA SALAD.

Cut lengthwise a firm, perfect banana and remove inside carefully forming a boat shaped case. Slice ripe strawberries, mix with the sliced banana meat and sprinkle with a little sugar. Pour Lemon Dressing over and carefully fill banana cases without mashing fruit. Place cases on strawberry leaves. This is dainty served with grated cheese toasted on crackers, and hot Russian tea.

SALAD IN APPLE CASES.

Select large, bright, red apples. Slice a piece from the top and carefully remove the inside without cutting the case. Mop the edge of cases with lemon juice and put near the ice until ready to serve. Stuff white cherries with nuts to fill the cases, put mayonnaise on top and serve on lettuce leaves with a row of little square blocks of the apples around the cases. Apple meat must be dipped in lemon water as soon as apples are cut to prevent its turning dark.

ORANGE BASKETS.

With a sharp, small knife, carefully cut large oranges in the shape of baskets with handles, and remove inside.

Fill baskets with chicken salad, put mayonnaise with a maraschino cherry on top of each and serve on sprays of orange leaves.

TOMATO JELLY SALAD.

Mould tomato jelly in individual cups and put on ice. When ready to serve turn out on lettuce leaves with Green Mayonnaise and capers on top. This can be varied by putting nuts and chopped celery in jelly just before it congeals.
