Lettuce Salad. ✠
Two or three heads white lettuce.
2 hard-boiled eggs.
2 teaspoonfuls salad oil.
½ teaspoonful salt.
1 teaspoonful white sugar.
½ teaspoonful made mustard.
1 teaspoonful pepper.
4 tablespoonfuls vinegar.
Rub the yolks to a powder, add sugar, pepper, salt, mustard, and oil. Let it stand five minutes, and beat in the vinegar. Cut the lettuce up with a knife and fork,—a chopper would bruise it,—put into a bowl, add the dressing, and mix by tossing with a silver fork.
