Cut stale bread in fingers or other fanciful shapes, and spread with the mixture.

Press two pieces together.
=Halibut-and-Lettuce Sandwiches.= Put a pound and a half of halibut, a slice of onion, a stalk of celery, four or five peppercorns, one teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of lemon juice in boiling water, and cook, just below the boiling-point, ten or fifteen minutes, according to thickness.

Remove bone and skin and rub the fish fine with a wooden spoon; add half a cup of thick cream, a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of white pepper and one tablespoonful of lemon juice.

Spread this mixture, when cold, on buttered slices of bread, put a lettuce leaf above the mixture, and spread a teaspoonful of mayonnaise or boiled salad dressing on the lettuce; finish with a slice of buttered bread and tie with ribbon.
=Lobster Fingers.= Chop lobster meat very fine; season to taste with French dressing.

Cut the bread in pieces about four inches long and an inch and a half wide.
Finish as usual.
