HE summer housewife always
welcomes with joy the pros
pect of fresh vegetables and
n ripe fruit as part of the daily
menu, and when properly prepared the
dietetic value of vegetables is indeed
great French and Italian housewives
of the middle class depend almost en-
tirely upon them as sustainers and ap-
petizers, with the addition perhaps of
little meat favoring to lend piquancy.
It has been said that if the vegetarians
do nothing more than teach the house
wife how to cook vegetables well and in
a variety of ways their mission will not
have been in vain. But 1t is surprising
how few cooks understand how to pre-
pare and cook even the most common
and easily obtained vegetables.
The early vegetables are expensive
and 1t really seems that each summer
the greengrocer prolongs the early
season unnecessarily. thereby keeping
prices up until the delicacies are about
done. Vegetables, though, are so
wholesome and palatable that few pro-
viders can resist purchasing them at
even high prices, but to be handicapped
by a lazy or ignorant cook who ruins
them in the boiling OF baking is indeed
a calamity. The pity of it all is that
there is not the slightest excuse for
this muddling in cooking. as a small
amount OF knowledge and a lot of
''gumption" are all that is required for
a successful finish.
Some directions for the preparation
and cooking of a few of the best
known vegetables may help in the Gu
linary cause. for in summer vegetables
should be literally eaten. as the saline
element contained in them is beneficial
to the system.

because the cook does not know how to
treat them or the mistress is afraid
they are not wholesome.

vouchsafed to us in which to enjoy this
vegetable is all too short.
There is a difference of opinion about
the length of time required for cooking
asparagus. The Romans have saying,
do it in no more time than is neces-
sary to boil asparagus" from which
one infers that the process was an ex-
tremely quick one, but a modern rule
found very good in cooking this vege-
table is as follows:
Cut the stalks an even length and tie
in neat bundles. Stand the bundles in
fast boiling water so that the heads are
well above water and steam them for
thirty minutes. The stalks will then be
quite tender. and the heads viii not be
overlooked. A few years ago aspara-
gus was always boiled, with the result
that the stalks were too hard to con-
tain any juice, and the heads were boil
