Cut cold, cooked chicken into small pieces. Use only the white meat if particular as to appearance, but the dark meat is also good. Marinate the chicken in a mixture of oil and vinegar, three parts of vinegar to one of oil, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand in the mixture two hours, pour off what is not absorbed. Mix the chicken with equal parts of celery cut in small pieces. Make a mayonnaise dressing, add at the last a small quantity of whipped cream, stir a part of the dressing through the chicken and celery mixture, spread the rest over the top. Garnish with sliced pickle, stoned olives, capers, celery tops or anything you may fancy.

Sweet Bread Salad

Lay the sweet bread in cold salted water for 1 hour before cooking, then boil, changing the water twice. Then throw into cold water immediately after they are done, which will be in about 20 minutes. Remove every particle of skin before chopping, and do not chop too fine. In season chop up some nice white, crisp celery, say about 1/3 as much as you have of sweet breads. You may also mix some French peas with this salad--looks pretty and tastes nice. Line a salad bowl with lettuce leaves which have been previously mixed with mayonnaise. (You may add a small quantity of cold roast veal, if you happen to have it; in fact, for economy's sake, you may add it to almost any salad and it is equally nice).
