Canapé thon mariné. Butter four pieces of toast, lay thin slices of thon mariné on top, spread a little mayonnaise over all with a knife, garnish the edges with chopped boiled eggs and chopped parsley. Serve on a napkin with parsley in branches, and quartered lemons.

Cold eggs, Riche. Make four eggs Mollet. When the eggs have become cold cut with the point of a knife, and let the yolks run out. Then fill with a few chopped anchovies, place on a china platter, and cover with sauce Figaro.

Purée of lentils with tapioca. Mix one quart of purée of lentils with one pint of consommé tapioca.

Boiled fowl. Put a soup hen on the fire in two quarts of water, add a little salt, bring to a boil, and skim. Then add one carrot, one onion, one leek, one piece of celery and a bouquet garni. Cook until the fowl is soft. Serve with cream, celery, oyster, or other sauce; as you may desire.

Celery sauce. Warm three ounces of butter in a casserole; add two stalks of celery, cut in small squares, well-washed and dried; and one and one-half spoonful of flour. Heat through, and then add two pints of chicken broth and a little salt. Boil until the celery is soft; then bind with the yolks of two eggs and a cup of cream.
