Tomato Salad

8 large tomatoes. 1 tablespoonful made mustard. 1 tablespoonful salad oil. 2 tablespoonfuls white sugar. 4 hard-boiled eggs. 1 raw egg beaten. 2 teaspoonfuls salt. 1 saltspoon nearly full cayenne pepper. 3/4 teacup vinegar. First rub the yolks of eggs smooth, adding mustard, oil, sugar, salt, pepper and beaten raw egg-then the vinegar. The tomatoes should be peeled and sliced and set in the refrigerator-the dressing also.

Just before serving, cover the tomatoes with ice broken up; sprinkle over a little salt and pour over the dressing.--Mrs. S. T.
