Two tablespoons of finely chopped onion,
Two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley,

Wash and drain the lettuce and then shred fine, using a pair of sharp scissors. Place in a bowl and then chop fine one bunch of scallions and a stalk of celery and add to the lettuce. Cover with mayonnaise dressing and serve for luncheon with a plate of cream soup. Toast and a light dessert will complete this meal.
ENGLISH WATER-CRESS SALAD
Cut five strips of bacon in dice and then brown nicely in a frying pan. Lift cooked bacon, drain off the fat, leaving only about five tablespoons in the pan. Now place in a cup
One-half teaspoon of mustard,
One-half teaspoon of sugar,
One teaspoon of salt,
One-half teaspoon of paprika,
Four tablespoons of vinegar.
Dissolve and pour into the hot fat, bring to a boil and then add the cooked bacon. Now place the prepared water-cress in a bowl and pour over it the bacon with the prepared dressing. Toss gently to mix and then garnish with hard-boiled eggs (sliced).
Corn salad, cabbage, lettuce, romaine and escarolle salads may be used in place of the water-cress for variety.
Radishes should be well washed and then allowed to crisp in cold water. Split from the tip to the stem end in quarters. Large radishes may be peeled and cooked until tender in boiling water and then drained and served with a cream, Hollandaise or plain butter sauce for variety.
