Salad of String Beans

Trim one pint of very young beans, put them in a saucepan, cover with boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt, and boil thirty minutes. When done, drain and throw them into cold water until very cold, then dry them with a soft towel, cut each bean in four pieces lengthwise, arrange them neatly on a salad dish, cover them with French dressing, let stand one hour, and serve.
