Lettuce Salad

Take two fine lettuces, remove the outer green leaves, wash and wipe, place them in a salad-bowl, sprinkle over one tablespoonful of chopped chives, half a teaspoonful each of chopped chervil and tarragon, and season with one pinch of salt, half a pinch of pepper dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a tablespoonful and a half of oil. Mix thoroughly, and serve.
