--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  Pound         Butter
   1 2/3  Cups          Sugar
   5                    Eggs
   2      Cups          Cake flour
     1/2  Teaspoon      Salt
   1      Teaspoon      Vanilla, or 1/2 Teaspoon Mace

Preheat oven to 325F.  Butter and flour a 9x5 loaf pan.  Cream the
butter, slowly add the sugar, and beat until light.  Add the eggs, one
at a time, beating each in well.  Stir in the flour, salt, and vanilla
or mace, and combine well.  Spoon into the pan and bake for 1 1/4- 1
1/2 hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool in the pan for
5 minutes before turning out onto a rack.  Serve very thin slices.
