To Curl Celery

It is only necessary to slit the tops evenly with a penknife and set the celery in glasses of ice-water.

Leave enough of the green tops on for ornament. Take two turns of twine round the upper part of the stalks for a guide-mark. The tops when slit curl outwards just as far down as the cuts extend and these should be of uniform length. "I am a great foe to dinners, and indeed to all meals. I think when the good time comes we shall give up eating in public, except perhaps fruit on a green bank with music." --Consuelo-Theodora.--Lothair. "I know a bank where the wild thyme blows." --Ariel. "I bring A scrip with herbs and fruits supplied, And water from the spring." --Vicar of Wakefield
