STUFFED BEET SALAD

Boil the beets whole till tender, selecting those of uniform size. Cut a slice off the bottom, so that they will stand upright, and scoop the inside out carefully. Take pains not only to avoid breaking the shell, but to keep the inside as nearly whole as possible. Peel the shells, and let them get perfectly cold. Cut the centers into tiny cubes, using an equal amount of parboiled potatoes and white celery cut to same size; mix well with mayonnaise or French dressing, and fill the shells, laying a slice of hard-boiled egg on top of each, and serving on a bed of tender lettuce leaves.
