Let It COlDe to a. boll and senson with

Bent Dresslno for Lettuce.
The very common Wa ) . of eating
lettuce nnd very 1I1toly the worst Is
to dress It with sugar and vinegar.
ThIs repl"ehenslblo method seems to
bo eSl1eclally common nt farmors'
tables , where the best of vegetables
, ought alwa 's to bo served , but where
sometimes nothlns but the worst can
bo found. On the farm , where plenty
of cream should always be available ,
.the homo mnde mayonnaise dressIng
ought to be the standard. There are
so many wnys of makIng this deUcacy
wrong that 110 particular reclpo can
Insure success. Doubtless the best
drosslng of aU for lettuce Is made of
oil , vinegar , salt and red pepper-
what Is commonly called French
dressing , Persons who al'o not famll.
lar with thIs are apt to use too much
vlnogar nnd too IIttlo all nnd to al1ply
too much of the drosslng altogether.
