Chicken and Ham Sandwiches

Remove the crusts from thin slices of bread and spread over thinly with butter. Lay some slices of cold chicken on the buttered sides of the bread, and over these very thin slices of ham, adding a little salt and mustard to taste. Lay a slice of bread, with the buttered side downwards, over each, press them gently together, trim and cut the sandwiches into oblong pieces. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve on a napkin spread on a dish.
