Banana Salad: A Novelty.

Of the making of salads there is nu end. Ilanana salad savours of novelty, and is certainly excellent, especially for winter, *hen crisp lettuces look less alluring than they do in November. The bananas should not be ripe. To makj the salad, cut four of them into cubes and mix with them half a cup of chopped celery and half a cup of chopped walnuts. Make a dressing of a tenspoonful of powdered sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of red pepper, a tablespoonfu! of lemon juice ami two tablespoonfuls of oil. Pour over the bananas, nuts and celery, and serve on lettuce leaves. Another novelty to many worne n are grilled bananas. These make an excellent as well as very inexpensive dish, rich enough in sugar to be specially Valuable just now. The bananas are simply grilled in their skins on an ordinary gridiron, and served as they ar/*. On opening, the banana will la* found to have l>pen transformed into a fragrant and luscious quanttiy requiring no addition but a teaspoonful of castor sugar.
