the asparagus up inthe saucepan so
that the green leaves will be at least
an inch above the surface, in order
that the stalksmay be well cooked
before the heads are broken. The
titme for cooking varies according to
its age and freshness, from ten min-
utes to a half hour being about the
usual time. One or . two tablespoonfuls
dr vinegar .are sometimes put in thq.
water, which helps to retain the green
color or the vegetable.
In preparing asparagus for cooking
great care „should be taken to use
only the top and that part of the stalk
which breaks easily, in order that
there may be no rough portions in the
dish when it reaches the table. (The
tough portions may be used to flavor
soups.) Some people advise boiling
for some dine such pieces of the
stalks as are used before putting in
the softer tops.
It may help some Wily homemaker,
wbo hati fallen into a routine of cook-
ing ceelain thinge in just one way,
to paste these recipes of mine in her
cook book:
CREAMED ASPARAGUS—Take the
heads only, of the asparagus, as 11111011
as required., and put them into boiling;
water, with a little salt. 13011 about
15 minutes. 'Meanwhile prepare some
square bits ef bread, without the
crust, by scraping out the centre or
each Viece, putting in a bit or butter
and frying or baking until thebread
tarns a yellow or a light brown. After
draining the asparagus, J place it in
the holes in the toasted bread, taking
care to keep all hot; then take half
a pint of cream and hent to boiling
point, to which add the yeas of four
eggs, and. stir until thick, Take' ft .off
the fire and add a little sprinkling of
salt aud PePper. Pour over the .aspar-
agus and bread and serve hot.
PAIN ASPARAGtTS—Many people
prefer asparagus served plain. For
this it is only necessary to put the
heads and softer parts or the stalks
either the whole or cut Into Inch
pieces, into boiling water, in which
salt has been dissolved. �11 until

ASPARAGUS (ITALIAN FASHION)
—Break some asparagus into pieces;
boil soft and drain the water, take a
little oil, water and vinegar, and let,
it boil, then season with .pepper an
salt. Pour in the asparagus, and thick-
en with the whites or eggs.
Green. peas, cooked as above, are
also very good; but lettuce, cut small,
may be addedand two or three onions
aecording to taste, omitting the eggs.
A sauce which the clever cook may
nee in many other ways, as well as
in serving asparagus, is made ae fol-
lows: Rub 4 ounces of butter to a
cream in a saucepan or bowl. Add 4
yolks of eggs and beat well together;
then add 1 teaspoonful of salt and
juice of half a lemon, a pino ha Cay-
enne and 1 cupful of hot water mixed'
in by degrees, Mix well and put in
bainenaire (or set saucepan in pot
of boiling water.)
Stir until the sauce beegetes of the

careful not to let it boll. Take off the
fire and eontinue to stir for some
minutes.
"Olandese" sauce ought to be quite
smooth and creamy.
ASPARAGUS ON TOAST—Cut off
the bottom of the stalks of a bunch
of asparagus to make them even, and
put itt a pan of cold water till near
dinner time. Put the bunch 'in boiling
water, in which a pinch of soda has
been. dissolved. Boil a 'quarter of an
hour, then drain and serve on butter-
ed toast, placing the white ends of the
asparagus on the toast. Pour one
tablespoonful of melted butter over
the green heads in the dish.
