DAGUB ^ AmUm* mt SiaM* Marf** Klirfc— OINCZ one good sandwich unsaDp p deserves another of the earn* kind or of a character which to equally deUdous. perhaps a few f suggestions re- ; sardine the fert ile art of sand wich making will ' be welcomed by the Spring host-' ess. ' The makings ef any sandwich are bread, batter and a sal table • filling. Good sandwich bread f should be at least twelve hears £ eld. Seam sandwich makers pro- ^ fer It twies this age. The texture t should be fine and spongy rath- i or than coarse-grained and r crumbly. The crusts should be ^ trimmed off ef party sandwich ss : h —only a tiny bit need be tahen» l / fust the crispy brown they must be trimmings can dried fer other need not be If an extremely tptn sandwich to wanted it’s a good Idea to buy regug lar sandwich bread and spread thw slices before cutting. The secret of successful sandwich • making lies In buttering the bread. The batter must be creamed. If it to put Into a bowl and beaten until creamy, exactly as one does for a> cake, it will spread easily and even ly with no danger of pulling and tearing the bread. The good sandwich maker to gen erous with her filling so that the morsel is flavorsome and toothsome. A complicated and elaborate filling is sometimes desirable but the prac tical, most-wanted fillings are those which can be easily prepared and yet are sure to be relished. Fancy sandwich breads, such aa nut and raisin breads, strike most everyone’s fancy and call for very simple fillings. Often they are mere ly buttered. Occasionally cream cheese Is used as a filling. All the prepared cream cheese mixtures make good fillings as is. Finely chopped preserved ginger combined with plain cream cheese and moistened with some of the. ginger syrup Is delectable between slices of graham bread. Cucumber sandwiches always are popular and are delicious with fish salads. These can be i made In two ways. The first method is to pare cucumber and cut in thin slices. Let stand in 1 j French dressing to which 1 tea- \\ > spoon minced chives or a drop ; j of onion juice has been added \ ; for one hour. Drain and put be- i tween thin slices of buttered J bread. The second method is to v pare and chop cucumber and 1 combine with mayonnaise to * make of spreading consistency. v A tiny bit of grated horseradish L or minced onion can be added for piquancy if wanted. . Equal parts of strained honey and creamed butter beaten until thick, make an excellent filling for ten sandwiches. Honey mixed with cream cheese and finely chopped salted almonds is another good sweet fill ing. For cocoanut filling mix 1 euj> grated cocoanut with ^ cup chopped nut meats, 1 tablespoon sugar, X tablespoons thick cream, ^ teaspoon, salt and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Orange marmalade combined with cream cheese, minced pecans and cream to make moist is an unusual filling. \ CITATION OF LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick. BY t w.
