Sandwiches, like salads, can be made in great varieties, only care and thought must be taken in selecting the combinations.

Sandwiches can he made from white, brown, graham bread, fresh rolls, crackers, etc., and may be cut in any shape, with or without the crust. To many the most appetizing part of the bread is sacrificed when the crust is removed.

Some of the shapes may be cut in squares, rounds (with a biscuit cutter), triangles, hearts or rolled. To keep sandwiches moist cover with a damp napkin. The butter for sandwiches can be either salted or un-salted, and should be creamed before spreading, as it then will spread evenly without breaking the bread. Seasoning of chopped mint leaves or parsley, spinach juice that has been crushed and pressed through a cloth, a little tarragon vinegar, onion juice if cared for, capers, pickles, nasturtiums, or olives finely chopped can be added to the butter.

Cut the bread in very thin slices, trimming off the crust before slicing, the crust and the trimmings can be dried for crumbs. Have the slices fit evenly one upon the other. Bread for sandwiches should be fine grained and a day old. Rolls used for sandwiches should be fresh and small.

Lettuce Sandwiches

Lay a crisp, dry leaf of lettuce between thin slices of buttered bread, sprinkle with salt. Mayonnaise can be used in place of the butter.

Watercress Sandwiches

Wash and dry the watercress, crush the leaves a little and prepare the same as lettuce sandwiches.

Spanish Sandwiches

Spread buttered graham bread with mixed mustard, a layer of cottage cheese, then with a layer of chopped olives or pickles mixed with mayonnaise.

Meat Sandwiches

Spread the bread with butter or mayonnaise, or mix the meat with mayonnaise. A crisp lettuce leaf or watercress can always be used with the meat; chop chicken and celery together, mix with mayonnaise or fresh dressing. Thinly sliced meat of any kind, seasoned with salt and pepper, and mustard if ham is used; spread over with mayonnaise or French dressing, if liked. Meats chopped or pounded to a paste, mixed with hard-boiled eggs, mashed, a little cream, season with salt and pepper, and if you like, a little onion juice.

Chopped ham mixed with mustard, a little cream or mayonnaise, and a little chopped pickles or olives.

Chicken livers cooked till tender, with a thin slice of onion, a few peppercorns and salt, chopped very fine, mixed with cream or mayonnaise.

Game can be prepared the same as meat. A few chopped olives or pickles mixed with it is an improvement.
