Celery.
Beat the oil, drop by drop, into the yolks of 6 raw eggs; have ready six eggs that have been boiled four hours; mash the yolks of these, and rub into them the mustard, sugar, salt and pepper, finally adding the vinegar, and when well mixed add to the combined oil and egg; melt the butter in a sauce-pan, pour in the dressing and cook slowly, stirring constantly until of the consistency of thin mush, which will be in a few moments. Pour in a screw-top jar and keep in a cool place. It will keep six weeks in winter. When ready to make the salad cut the chickens into large dice and moisten with 1/2 cupful of the essence in which the chicken was boiled, add to it the celery, pour over it the dressing, and let stand in a very cold place at least 2 hours before serving. There should be one-third as much celery as chicken. MRS. JAMES McKIMMON.
