Celery Salad

Pare off the green stalks from two or three heads of celery, trim the roots and cut them into short shreds; wash them thoroughly in cold water, lift them out with the hands, and drain in a cloth. When well drained place the celery in a salad-bowl and season with one pinch of salt, one-half pinch of pepper, and one or two salad teaspoonfuls each of oil and vinegar. Mix well, and serve.
