Fruit Sandwiches

Brown Bread Sandwiches
Brown Bread to be used for sandwiches is best steamed in one-pound baking-powder boxes. Spread and cut bread as for other sandwiches. Put between layers finely chopped peanuts seasoned with salt; or grated cheese mixed with chopped English walnut meat seasoned with salt.

Remove crusts, cut in fancy shapes, and garnish with nut meats.
