=Dressing for Fruit Salad.= (_Sweet._) Boil one cup of sugar and half a cup of water five minutes, then pour on to the beaten yolks of three eggs; return to the fire and cook over hot water, stirring constantly until thickened slightly; cool, and add the juice of two lemons.

Half a cup of wine may be used in the place of the lemon juice, retaining one tablespoonful of the lemon juice.
=Fruit Salad.= (_June._) Pare lengthwise a _ripe_ pineapple and remove the eyes.

With a fork dislodge from the hard centre the single fruits (the lines left by the bracts will indicate the places where the divisions should be made).
Slice _lengthwise_ three sweet oranges, after removing the peel and white skin.

Peel and slice two bananas, and cut in halves lengthwise one cup of strawberries.

If the fruit be sweet, use the juice of half a lemon, otherwise omit it.
