One can of lobster, picked up fine, removing all hard, yellow pieces; one half cup of finely chopped lettuce. Mix the two together and add the salad dressing. Lay it on a bed of lettuce leaves in a salad dish.

DRESSING.—Two eggs beaten, one teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of sugar, three mustard-spoons of mustard as prepared for the table. Beat all together. Put one cup of vinegar in a dish of water on the stove and when boiling hot add the mixture, stirring till like soft custard. Just before pouring over the salad, add one cup of thick, sweet cream.
