"A somewhat uncommon way of
cooking asparagus, and one which pre-
serves the flavor of the vegetable well,
is to bake it as follows: Take only the
tender tops, boil them for five minutes
and put them in a buttered baking bak-

with little grated cheese, if liked, and
"a sauce made with one ounce of butter,
one ounce of flour, the beaten yolk of
an egg and pint of milk boiled to-
gether Cover the top with sauce,
grated cheese and few fine bread
crumbs: bake to delicate brown and
serve in the baking dish.-N. y. World.
