Cut bread thin, spread and serve with ice cream. Fig Rolls. Put three figs through a mincer, add two tablespoonfuls chopped nuts and enough orange marmalade to spread.

Open Tomato Sandwich. Put a thin slice of firm tomato on a slightly larger round of buttered white bread. Sprinkle with salt and place a little mayonnaise in the centre. Put a slice of stuffed olive on the mayonnaise. Florencel Sandwich.

Cut white bread in small, thin rounds and spread with creamed butter. On this spread a layer of cream cheese, moistened to spreading consistency if necessary with a little cream. In the centre of the cheese lay a piece of pimento the size of sixpence. From this radiate like flower petals five slices of black olives.

Open Star Sandwich. Cut bread with a star-shaped cutter and spread thickly with softened cream cheese. Garnish with quarters of steamed prunes radiating from a dot of jelly placed in the centre.

Ring. Sandwich—l. '.v. With a large cutter stamp out slices of white bread in rounds. With a smaller cutter cut circles out of half of them, leaving rings of bread. Spread the large rounds with creamed butter and mayonnaise, place a slice of tomato on this and fit on a bread ring. The small rounds may be heaped with some other filling.
