A delicious dessert for luncheon or a supper cake is prepared by using small sponge cakes baked in gem pans, cut open and filled with sweetened and flavored whipped cream. Squares of sponge cake may be used with the whipped cream on top. A beautiful and dainty salad is strawberry and lettuce with mayonnaise. In a nest of blanched lettuce leaves arrange a few berries and a tablespoonful of mayonnaise made without using mustard. For a variety, a poached egg on buttered toast, the butter to be mixed with anchovy paste, is a pleasant change. Liver Soup.—Take a half pound of cold cooked liver and grind it in a meat chopper. Fry one onion sliced in two tablespoonfuls of butter aud add the liver. Add a cup of dry and sifted bread crumbs, season with salt, pepper and add a quart and a half of stock.
