the right name and at a reasonable 
price, are not ‘objectionable. 
French Dressing—One-fourth tea- 
spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, 
three tablespoons olive oil, and one 
tablespoon vinegar, preferably tarra- 
gon. (Some prefer to use a little 
onion juice in French dressing and 
some prefer to vary the proportion ~ 
of oil to vinegar.) . 
Mayonnaise Dressing — One tea- 
spoon mustard, one _ teaspoon 
powdered sugar, one-half teaspoon 
salt, one-quarter teaspoon cayenne, 
mixed in a small bowl. Add the yolks 
of two eggs. Stir well and add, drop 
by drop, one pint olive oil. When the 
dressing is thick, thin it with a few 
drops of lemon juice, and then finish 
by adding lemon and oil alternately, 
using two tablespoons oil. Add two 
tablespoons vinegar last. In case of 
curdling add orie-half teaspoon un- 
_ beaten white of egg or a few drops of 
vinegar. Mayonnaise when mixed 
with vegetables or meat, liquefies, so 
that it should be made stiff enough 
to hold its shape until used. 
Boiled Dressing — One-half cu» 
vinegar, heated in’ top of double 
boiler. Mix thoroughly two teaspoons 
mustard, two teaspoons salt, three 
tablespoons sugar, one-fourth tea- 
spoon cayenne or paprika, two tabte- 
spoons melted butter, one cup cream. 
Pour this mixture on four well beaten 
eggs and then add all to the hot vine- 
gar in the double boiler. Cook care- 
fully, stirring constantly to make sure 
that it does not curdle. Salads 
may be made from green, uncooked 
vegetables, cold, cooked vegetables, 
delicately flavored meats and fish, atid 
fruit, in combination with lettuce or 
cress. Following are a few sugges- 
tions for the less common salads. 
Potato and Salmon Salad — Four 
cups cold, mashed, highly seasoned 
potatoes, one can salmon, Two 
chopped sour pickles, three hard- 
boiled eggs, and mayonnaise dressing 
and lettuce leaves are the ingredients 
required. Two of the eggs are mixed 
with the salmon, pickles and potato 
and some mayonnaise, thinned with 
whipped cream. Serve on_ lettuce 
leaves and garnish with stiff mayon- 
naise and the remaining egg cut in 
slices. 
Potato Salad---One pint of hot po- 
tatoes, cut in small cubes, one table- 
spoon chopped parsley marinate: 
with highly seasoned French dress- 
ing. Place on ice until ready to serve. 
In serving, place potatoes in center 
of dish, garnish with hard-boiled 
egg and beets cut in cubes or fancy 
shapes and celery around the edz2 
and sprinkle more French dressing 
over the whole, Onion or garlic may 
‘as well as in the summer. 
be rubbed around the bowl if the 
flavor is desired; red cabbage, turn- 
ips, diced carrots may also be used 
for garnishing. 
Fruit Salad—Pineapple, cherries 
and strawberries make an excellent 
combination. Remove sections of 
the cherries, saving the juice, and 
hull the berries and mix all together. 
Serve on lettuce leaves with stars of 
mayonnaise dressing. Use equal 
parts of fruit. 
APROPOS? BUS-EINES 
At Tuesday night’s session of the 
Gloucester Municipal ‘Council the 
matter of issuing licenses to “jitney” 
or motor lines to the suburbs came up, 
and an argument was made that these 
licenses be restricted to those owners 
who operate their routes all the year. 
The reasons advanced were that it 
was in the interest of the public ser- 
vice to restrict this business in order 
that adequate service be maintained 
all the year, in the unprofitable winter 
The Mag- 
nolia route was specifically mentioned. 
Here there is no street railway line. 
Some 15 years ago the street railway 
officials endeavored to procure a 
franchise through Western ave., but 
were successfully resisted by the sum- 
mer residents after a stiff fight. Then 
the Board of Aldermen, five constt- 
tuting a majority, had the right of 
franchise disposal. 
Later the State Highway Commis- 
sion took over Western ave. and with 
it the authority to grant franchises. 
The composition of this commission 
was then and is now such as to make 
it a foregone conclusion that it would 
be vain to ask for any street car line 
franchise, no matter how much the 
public or street railway officials de- 
sired such a privilege, and both are as 
much in favor of the project now as 
at any time. | 
The coming of the self-propelled 
motor bus has evidently settled the 
question of cheap and frequent com- 
munication with Magnolia and Man- 
chester. For the past two years two 
competing owners have put on vehi- 
cles for the purpose. One of these 
companies has purchased four of the 
latest type motor vans, and with its 
other vehicles for the purpose says it 
has an investment of $20,000. Both 
companies maintain their schedules 
practically as advertised, the only in- 
terference being in the severe snow- 
storms of March. 
Having this investment, these com- 
panies say that they are forced to 
meet opposition of those who put on 
cars during the summer season, dis- 
continuing their line when the sum- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 17 
mer travel is over, thus taking the 
“cream” and leaving the “skim milk” 
of the winter season to the all the 
year round lines. 
Another argument is that the all the 
year lines are bonded against accident, 
one in $40,000, thus affording the 
traveling public redress. Thursday 
the Legislature passed a bill making 
compulsory the bonding of any “‘Jit- 
ney” line, no matter for what space 
of time operated, and this will meet 
this argument. This bill also be- 
stowed discretionary powers on Mun- 
icipal Councils and Selectmen. 
The majority of the people of Mag- 
nolia and Manchester, believing in 
competition, heartily indorse the 
arguments advanced to the City Coun- 
cil to restrict licenses to those who 
will operate their vehicles all the 
year, though no effort is being made 
to make this an exclusive franchise 
to one or two lines.—Chas. R. Pringle 
in Boston Globe.

Baseball again forces itself to the 
center of the stage. Last week 
Thursday Congress postponed all im- 
portant business and President Wil-

his office to attend the opening game

Over in Salem they once had a “re- 
form” mayor, one Arthur Howard, 
who stirred things up politically in 
the old city before his election and 
then made an inglorious retirement 
from office. The next appearance of 
“Lil” Arthur was in Burlington, Vt., 
where he was reported to be working 
miracles in reviving the “Advance,” 
a political sheet. The other day 
Howard disappeared from Burling- 
ton suddenly. He has acquired a 
cane and a new batch of creditors ac- 
cording ro news despatches from the 
Green Mountain state. 
The telephone rang and the new 
maid answered it. “Hello!” came 
from the receiver. “Hello!” answer- 
ed the girl, timidly. “Who is this?’* 
again came the voice. “I don’t know 
who it is,” said the girl. “I can’t see 
you.” —E xchange.
