Peach and Mayonnaise Sandwich

Add a tablespoon of sugar to two cups of chopped peaches. Add a dozen olives stones and chopped and enough heavy white mayonaise to moisten. Mix. Butter half the bread slices and spread the other half with mayonnaise mixture. Garnish each sandwich with a candied charry, fitted into a little hollow in the bread. A thin slice of white chicken meat may be used in each sandwich if desired.
