MAYONAISE DRESSING.

To the yolks of two eggs add a scant teaspoonful of mustard, equal quantity of salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper, stir, then add, very slowly almost drop by drop, one teacupful of olive oil. The mixture should be as thick as butter, then add one tablespoonful of lemon juice, if too thick, thin with sweet cream. For cabbage or potato salads it is well to add one half cup of sweet cream, while for tomato, aspic or plain, no cream should be used.
