A Little Cook Book for a Little Girl Part 25

Slice a small, firm tomato very thin indeed, and take out all the seeds and soft pulp, leaving only the firm part; put one slice on the bread, and one thin shaving of cheese over it, and then put on bread. A slice of tomato with a spreading of mayonnaise makes a nice sandwich.

Cream Cheese and Nut Sandwiches

Spread thin Boston brown bread with just a sc.r.a.ping of b.u.t.ter, then spread with cream cheese and cover with nuts; this is a delicious sandwich.

Sweet Sandwiches

All jams and jellies make good sandwiches, and fresh dates, chopped figs, and preserved ginger are also nice.
