CABBAGE SALAD.
MRS. SMYTHE.
Cut a cabbage into fine pieces. Place in water for a couple of hours
with one onion sliced thin. Throw water off, pass through colander.
Cover it with the dressing and let it stand for five or six hours. A
couple of beets can be chopped up finely and placed with it; this salad
will keep for a couple of days.

One cup cream, one table spoon sugar, one dessert spoon mustard, one
half dessert spoon of pepper and salt, one small onion sliced fine, a
couple of radishes sliced, two hard boiled eggs. Crush the yolks into
the cream, one pinch mint, two tablespoons vinegar. If cream is not
thick enough, crush up potatoes and mix with it. Sour cream can be used
as well as sweet cream.

tablespoonful capers, one head of lettuce, one gill salad oil, one
tablespoonful of cream, white of egg beaten to a stiff froth. Cut the
