Rub smoothly the yolks of six hard-boiled eggs, mixing with them sufficient mayonnaise to form a thick, firm paste. Add salt and pepper if required to season well. Spread the bread very thinly with mayonnaise, then cover with nice white lettuce leaves and place between the lettuce leaves the sandwich mixture. Cut and trim them according to directions, being very particular to press them well together. These must not be made long before serving.
