WAYS WITH asparagus

MANY DISHES.
Few Spoonfuls of Tips Make Delicious,

Tips as Garnish.

Much of the asparagus that is sol,
is hard and wooden up to within tive
or thr - inches of the top. Often the
grocer will send such a bunch wher
supplies are ordered over the tele
phoGe-a very careless method Of
marketing, but sometimes necessary
The bulk of such a bunch can De used
in soup, and the tips, which are usual
ly tender, can be utilized in variouf
ways after reserving a few for 6
garnish in the soup. They should frsi
be boiled until tender, but not unit
they break. Twelve minutes Is the
time usually allotted to them.
Asparagus tips are familiar enough
in asparagus salads and omelets. A
few spoonfuls of these tips make a de
licious addition to a lettuce salad OIL
other dish OF spring greens. Some
cooks add a tiny spoonful Of chopped
chives. Chilled boiled tips also make
an attractive garnish to a salmon sal
ad.
Dreamed asparagus tips or aspara
gus tips tossed in butter are some
times served as an entree In little
patty crusts. or as a filling, with ap
propriate seasonings, in small dainty
sandwich rolls for luncheon.
An asparagus consomme makes ar
attractive soup at this season. Tc
make 1t, add a few tips to a plain
consomme.
Tossed in a little hot butter OF
dressed with brown butter. these tips
make a nice garnish for outlets and
broiled fish. Curries. too. with rice
are improved by the addition of as
paragus tips. They may also be added
to the gravy accompanying a meat oil
fish, or used in an asparagus sauce
delicate cream sauce. such as is
used with fried chicken or fish, is i'm
proved in flavor and appearance by
the addition of some of the green tips
carefully boiled. A famous cook gives
the following recipe for an asparagus
sauce, in which a variety of season,
ings are used: Put two tablespoonful
OF butter in a saucepan, stir in two
tab~lespoonfuls OF flour and gradually
add a pint of white stock. Stir the
sauce thoroughly while adding the
stock to prevent Jumps from forming

carrot, a bay leaf, a tiny bit of mace
and a sprig of parsley. Let the sauce

times the tips are mashed and

queried Floyd.
Stanton opened his lips, and closed
them again without speaking. His
trained glance went to sweep his op-
