Shape in a mound on a bed of lettuce leaves and mask with mayonnaise.

Use capers or olives, chopped very fine, to mark out five or six designs on the mound; a scroll effect is always pretty.

Fill in the designs with shrimps and the rest of the mound with capers, sifted yolks or chopped whites of cooked eggs; or fill the designs with the capers or eggs and the rest of the mound with shrimps.

Finish with a tuft of lettuce at the top.
=Scallop Salad.= Soak the scallops in salted water (a tablespoonful of salt to a quart of water) one hour; rinse in cold water, cover with boiling water, and let simmer five or six minutes.

Rinse again in cold water, drain, and when cold cut into slices.
