Asnaragus on Toasn.

To cook asparagus, pare the lower
part of the stems, wash well and tie
into bundles, heads all one way. Stand
the bundles in a saucepan, butts down,
and nearly cover them with boiling wa
ter. Add teaspoonful of salt to each
quart of water and cover the saucepan.
Boil slowly for three-quarters of an
hour. 1t is not necessary that the heads
should be covered with water. They,
being tender, will cook in the steam as
soon as the butts immersed in the wa
ter. Have ready a meat platter covered
with nicely toasted bread. Lift the as
paragus carefully, drain and arrange it
on the toast. Put a tablespoonful Of
butter and one of -four in a saucepan,
rub until smooth, add gradually half
pint of the water in which the aspara-
gus was boiled. Stir over the fire until
boiling, add half teaspoonful of salt,
a dash of pepper and a tablespoonful of
lemon juice. Pour this carefully over
the asparagus and serve. -Mrs. S. I.
