It was strange how their for beautiful furs was particularly at - selfish interests could disarrange one's happiest plans. All in all, Lenore was in a wretched mood, savagely angry at 'the world in general and her mother in particular. It was the way of the old, Lenore reflected, to give too much of their thought and interest to their own fan- cied ills. Not even a daughter's bril- lii}it career could stand between. And who would have guessed that the "nervousness" Ler mother had com- plained of so long, pandered to by a fashionable quack and nursed like a baby by the woman herself, should ever lead to such disquieting results. The doctor had recommended a sea voyage to the woman, and the old fool had taken him at his word. It was not that Lenore felt she could not spare, for some months, her mother's guiding influence. It was merely that sea voyages cost money, and honey, at that particular time, was scarce and growing scarcer about the Hardenworth apartment. Seeming- ly the only course that remained was to move forward the date of her mar- riage to Ned, at present set for the following spring. She dried her eyes, powdered her spring it is doubly welcomed in most households. Once started, a bed of. asparagus is easily eared for, and might be a source of pin money to the woman who has less fortunate—or provident --neighbors. Asparagus is largely water, ninety- four per cent., according to Atwater, aril its fuel value per pound is only 105 calories, Nevertheless it is of asm and delight.

It was after ten when he had finished breakfast and was ready to begin active preparations for the ex- cursion. His first work, of course, was to see about hiring a launch. Ten minutes' ride took him to the office of his friend, Rex Nord, vice- president of a great marine -outfitting establishment, and 'five minute's con- versation with this gentleman told him: all he wanted to know. Yes, as it happened, Nerd knew of a corking craft that was at that moment in need of a charterer, possibly just the thing that Cornet wanted. • i'This particular craft was built for a scientific expedition sent out by one of the great museums," Nard ex- plained. "It isn't just 'a Merman's scow. She has a nifty galley and a snug little dining salon, and two foxy little staterooms for extra toney pas- sengers. Quite an up -stage little boat. Comfortable as any yacht you ever saw." "How about cargo space?" "I don't know exactly—but it was big enough for several tons of walrus and musk ox skeletons, so it ought to suit you." "What do you think I could get her for?" "I don't think—I know. ' I was talk- ing to her owner yesterday noon. You can get her for ninety days for five thousand dollars—seventy-five per for a shorter time. That includes the services of four men, licensed pilot, first and second engineer, and a nig- ger cook; and gas and oil for the motor." Ned stood up, his black eyes spark- ling with elation, and put on his hat. "Where do I find her?"

"Hunt up Ole Knutsen, at this ad- dress." Nard wrote an instant: on a: strip of .paper. "The nature of the craft is the Charon" Ned drove to the designated address, found the owner of the craft, and executed a charter after ten minutes of conversation. Knutsen was a big, good-natured man with a goodly share of Norse bloodthat had paled his eyes. and hair. Together they drew up the list of supplies. "Of course we might put in some of dis stuff at nordern ports," Knutsen told him in the unmistakable accent of the Norse. "You'd save money, though, by getting it here." "All except one item—last but not least," - Ned assured him. "I've got to stop at Vancouver.' "Canadian territory, eh—?" "Canadian whiskey. Six cases of imperial quarts. We'll be gone a long time, and a sailor needs his grog." There was really very little else for Ned to, do. The silk gowns and wraps that were to be his principal article of trade would not be received for a few days at least; and seemingly he tractive to her.

The 'best way of cooking is to cut in uni- form lengths, snapping off with the fingers all the tough white ends, wasb, and scale. Tie in bunches, Bead ,end up, and cook standing on end in boil- ing water with the tips out of water. The tips are more tender than the stalk and the steam will cook them sufficiently while the ends are boil- ing. If the asparagus is fresh, salt may be added while it is cooking and this will help to preserve the green color. If it is older salt added while 'It is cooking will have a tendency to toughen the fiber. When tender, remove from the wa- ter, and bit of butter to the liquid left, and if salt has not been added, salt to taste. Pour this juice over slices of toast, and serve the aspara- gus branches on the toast. Or the asparagus juice may be reserved to use in soup and a white sauce poured over the asparagus and toast, If preferred, the asparagus may be broken in pieces, boiled.. -and served with a white sauce or with the juice to which has been added batter and seasonings. Use•only enough water to cook nicely, so that none need be poured off or wasted. Asparagus and Cheese Make a white sauce of one cup of water in which the asparagus was cooked, a half cup of cream, three tablespoons of butter ,and three of flour. Season with salt and pepper and add two egg yolks and two table- spoons of grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts, but do not let it boil. Then arrange asparagus andnsauee in layers in a baking dish, in the order named. Cover with buttered cracker crumbs and put in the oven. just long enough to brown the crumbs. Serve at once.
