51. — Mrs. W. W. Sawyer.

52. These dainty little appetizers are made with a single layer of bread and for this reason can be made much more decorative than sandwiches. They are served in place of oysters at a dinner or luncheon. At a gentlemen's dinner they are frequently served with a glass of sherry before entering the dining room. For cold canapes the bread is cut in thin slices and then cut out with a round cutter and covered with some highly seasoned mixture and decor- ated. For hot canapes, the bread, after it is cut in shape, is fried in deep fat or buttered and browned in the oven.

53. Ham Canapes.

54. Slice bread a quarter of an inch thick, then with a biscuit cut- ter about 3 inches in diameter, cut the bread into rounds. Butter the rounds, spread with some highly seasoned deviled ham and arrange on top in alternate circles, lines of chopped pickle and hard boiled egg minced fine. Serve on small plates with a sprig of curly parsley to give added color.

55. Cheese Canapes.

56. Cut quarter inch slices into rounds. Spread first with softened butter, then a thin layer of French mustard. Sprinkle very hber- ally with grated cheese and in the center of each place a seeded olive or a tiny mound of chopped pickles. If desired hot, spread the bread with a little French mustard, dip in melted butter and then sprinkle a thick layer of grated cheese, season with salt and cayenne pepper and place in the oven to soften the cheese. Serve at once.

57. Sardine Canapes. Bone the sardines, then rub them to a paste, add a little oil from the can, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Cut the bread into rounds and fry in butter until it is a delicate brown on both sides. Spread with the mixture and decorate with the whites and yolks of hard boiled eggs, each run through a ricer sep- arately. Cover the center of the canape with the whites, encircle the edge with a ring of the yellow and (h'op a bit of the yellow in the center of each.

59. Anchovy Canapes.

60. Cut 3>€ inch thick pieces of bread with a round cutter. Spread with a mayonnaise dressing. Boil eggs hard, when cold chop the whites fine and put the yolks through a potato ricer, and put an outside circle of the whites of the eggs on top of the dressing, fill the circle with the riced yolks and put a curled anchovy on top in the center, or use the straight anchovies split in two lengthwise, laid on to divide the canape in quarters. If the canape is desired hot, use the fried or toasted bread.

61. Caviare Canapes.

62. Canapes of caviare are much better served with cold bread than hot or toasted. Prepare the round slices of bread as for anchovy canapes. Spread with mayonnaise dressing and the riced hard boiled egg as before and put about 3^ of a teaspoon of caviare in the center on top. Caviare is the salted roe of the sturgeon.

63. Tomato Canape.

64. Cut bread in rounds as for other canapes, place one slice of ripe raw tomato (chilled) on each round. The bread rounds should be the same size as the tomato. Spread mayonnaise dressing on top of the tomato, put one curled anchovy in the center of each and surround it with an olive chopped up. This is the amount for each person. Place on small plates.
