Dressing for Salad

Turkey is more economical and better for salad than chicken To one turkey, weighing about nine pounds, allow nine eggs: 7 hard-boiled eggs. 2 raw eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately. To each egg allow 2 tablespoonfuls salad oil, perfectly pure and sweet. 1 saltspoonful salt. 1 saltspoonful made mustard. 2 saltspoonfuls cayenne pepper to the whole amount. Celery to the taste. Lettuce leaves, if in season, using only the heart. The juice of 2 lemons.

This will last a week.--Mrs. A. M. D.
