SUMMER VEGETABLES.

For those who enjoy a vegetable
garden of their own, no plant will give
more satisfaction than Swiss Chard.
1t is good the season through. during
the growing season. Cook 1t in boiling
water as any vegetable fs cooked.
then dress it with butter, vinegar and
sliced hard cooked eggs as spinach is
served, or it may be served cold as a
salad. 1t will grow up again and again
new tender leaves, so that it is an
easy vegetable to care for.
Lettuce that has become too old
and tough for eating fresh may be
cooked and served as one does spin
ach. 1t makes a pleasant variety for
the daily menu. Lettuce soup is an
other method of using the old tough
leaves. This is made as one does any
cream soup.
The color of peas and asparagus as
well as spinach and any of the greens
Is brighter green If the kettle in
which the vegetable is cooked is left
uncovered during the cooking.
A pretty way of serving new peas
or asparagus is to prepare them with
rich white sauce. then hollow out
rolls, butter well inside and brown,
then fill the centers with the creamed
vegetable, and serve hot.
Spanish Beans.-Take a half cup of
sliced onions. stewed until tender, one
cup of stewed beans, one cup of
stewed tomatoes. Boil until thick
enough to serve on a dinner plate
Season with butter salt and cayenne
pepper.
Young beets will cook in an hour OF
less. Remove the skins after drop
ping them into cold water, then re
turn to the fire and chop, season with
butter. pepper and salt and a few
drops of vinegar. Olive oil may be
used in place of butter TO advantage.
String beans are most palatable
cooked for an hour or more with a
slice OF salt pork. season with pep
per and salt, If needed add a little
vinegIs, and serve hot.
Celery is nice stewed. Cook unit;
