Pare off the green branches of two stalks of fine, fresh, white celery, Separate all the branches; nicely trim the tender parts, as well as the roots. and place them in a basin with plenty of cold water and wash thoroughly. Remove the branches from the basin, lay them on a towel, and then with the forefinger gently spread a very little green butter on the inside of each branch. Dress on a celery dish. Cover with chopped ice and serve. (Always keep the discarded celery for soups or for other useful purposes.)
