It often proves quite an economical way of serving up pieces of fish, meat, etc., that otherwise would not be suitable for table. Ingredients and Garnishes The salad-bowl is a wonderful asset in the way of decoration, if a bowl be useful, but, nowadays. the individual salad dish of glass or china threatens to exclude the crystal or wooden bowls form- erly so popular. The garnish of a salad should give some indication of its prin- cipal ingredient; little piles of chopped white and yolk of eggs might garnish an egg salad, for instance, whilst fillets of an chovy would be suitable for a fish one. It is well, however, nn matter how d.corative it may be to keeo out anything that is meatable. A green salad, of whatever kind must be perfectly fresh and crisp, and fairly dry. The leaves wilt ivhen they lose their moist- ure and, therefore, if they can- not be used at once they should be kept in an airtight tin or wrapped in a damp cloth. A good way for lettuce is to place a little wat;r in the bottom of a deep dish, put in lettuces, then cover with muslin or thin calico, wet- ted, and they will keep beauti- fully crisp. After the vegetable is washed. it should be carefully drained and dried, othenvise the oil of the dressing will not cling to the leaves. A great part of the success of a salad depends on the dress- ing. Nothing but practice will teach the exact quantities to use but on old Spanish Proverb has it that "A salad dressing requir- es a spendthrift for oil, a judge for salt, a miser for vinegar, and a madman to mix them!" Acids such as vinegar and lemon juice, draw out moisture from fish, lettuce, etc., and it is no uncommon thing for mayon- naise, ivhich divas beautifully thick ivhen poured over to be- come thin and watery before it is required. I prefer dressing served in a separate dish, but if it is added to the salad it should be done only at the last minute. For a Good Dressing The chief point when making mayonnaise is to add the oil very slowly and the easiest way to manage this is to have a cork with two grooves cut in it fit- ting the oil bottle. One groove or hole is to let in the air. Care must be taken that a whole cork replaces the grooved one before the bottle is put away. The recipe for mayonnaise requires half pint Salad oil, one dessert- spoonful (or large teaspoon) vinegar, yolk of one egg (raw), a few drops lemon juice, quarter teaspoonful mustard, a pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne. Put the egg yolk in a basin; add mustard, pepper, salt and cay- enne, add oil, drop by drop, stir- ring quicklv all the time, then vinegar and lemon juice. The sauce should be kept quite stiff, but, if iifter all the care has been taken, it should curdle another yolk of egg switched in will bring it back to its original state. The French dressing, simply a well-seasoned mixture of oil and vinegar, is usually the most suitable to use. The pro- portion is one part vinegar to four of oil. A French woman once advised me to use oil of Provence and ivhite vinegar which is stronger and finer than malt. Cream may be used by those who do not like oil but in this case lemon juice should be used instead of vinegar. THE )VEST VAN NE%'S The Flier's PrayerTHE LITERARY SOCIETY EXCURSIOiV TO SECOND CANYON The society's summer excur- sion was made last Saturday to the Second Canyon of the Capi- lano, and there was a good turn- out, though the president, Rev. A. 3f. O'Donnell, was unfortu- nately detained. The smoke screen seemed to have the ef- fect of keeping the temperature agreeable throughout, though it cut off long-range views. The party first visited the vantage point and saw the net arrangements for the safety and convenience of visitors. They had only to look over a substan- tial and well-placed fence in or- der to descry the river in its rocky channel 400 feet below, contrasting with the days not so long ago when it was neces- sary to lie at full length and peer over the edge of the per- pendicular cliff. There was an- other reminder of the past in the shape of some fragments of the flume which had been car- ried along the side of the can- yon by 51r. Farrell with a bold- ness and ingenuity which won tribute from all ivho saw it. There ~vere many striking views of the canyon which its gang- way made possible even for la- dies at one time, but which are now only to be obtained by ath- letic climbers. The editor divas asked to give an account of the geological his- tory of the canyon, which call- ed for references to the Niagara Gorge, the Black Rock of Novar in Ross-shire, and the Ice Age. The party then followed the vice president, Mr. Duncan, to the net suspension bridge, where he gave a description of Indian pictographic art with reference to the reproductions on the walls of the canyon. He next led the more energetic members down the bluffs to the tunnel in which the big steel pipes which carry the water supply of Greater Vancouver repose in darkness and coolness. His party came back to find the long table spread and a march stolen upon them by the others. Nr. Lawson poured tea and poured forth stories of the past, with the re- sult that a second brewing had to be made. It divas stated that one lady drank six cups and was refused a seventh, which pre- vented her from breaking the record established by the lady whose performance so seriously disturbed )Ir. )Veiler. Another remarkable feat was performed by those who sampled their way right through the sandwiches, tarts, cake, pies and fruit that stood in two continuous rows along the centre of the table. In this they only copied the household methods of the Scot- tish judge described by Dean Ramsay, wherein the killing of the fatted calf was followed by a systematic eating of it up one side and down the other. Every- body was pressed into service. The concluding ceremony of the feast divas the solemn cutting of the bag which had held the tea and the ladling of a spoon- ful of its contents by BIr. Laiv- son into each cup. The cups were then handed iii succession to hlrs. Selwood, who spaed the fortunes of the owners with im- pressive gravity and complete acceptance. All were to enjoy good health, and all were to re- ceive money--some enough tn buy a net hat, some sufficient for a trip round the ivorld. The afternoon had been a quiet one, for the coming holi- day had draivn aivay any noisy excursionists. As the sun ap- proached its setting, the full beauty of the new resort grad- ually showed itself. It is un- fortunate that such a scene of quiet charm can so rarely be al- lowed to remain unaltered; but the Literary Society had an op- portunity of seeing it at its best in the evening hour.
