A tourist needs good roads for
pleasure the farmer needs them for
profit. A stretch of good road
alongside farm is the best adver-
tisement a farm can put out, but it is
manifestly unfair to expect the farm
ers to be to all the expense of
maintaining good roads. Right here
is an opportunity for the kind of CO.
operation that counts.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

You will recall the time not far dis
tant, If your recollection Is good, when
the sight Of garment-any garment
whatever-made up in two distinctly
different materials, inspired you with a
mild curiosity to know whether it was
really intended to be thus fashioned,
or whether it's owner ran short of ma
terial and had to eke out the shortage
with whatever was most convenient,
And because it did look SO strange in
those days of monotones and uniform
fashions. I'm sure we gave credence
only to the latter supposition and ex-
cused its unnaturalness on those
grounds
Then consider the changes wrought.
The dress of single material is the
exception these days. when SO many
of the very smartest combine two, three
and even four.
Childrens clothes do not differ from
our own in this respect, although. OF
course, the area, being limited, does
not allow of as much effect. However,

Asparagus Tips Creamed.-For either
leftover asparagus or asparagus that
is not thoroughly ripe the best method
of preparation is to cream the tips Cut
off the stalks in inch-long pieces as far
down as it is tender. Cook these in
boiling salted water: in leftover boiled
asparagus simply warm it in the sauce
Drain the tips in a colander and stir
into them enough white cream sauce to
coat them.
White Cream Sauce-One tablespoon
of butter, one cup of milk, one table,

Melt the butter in saucepan: add

Baby's Hamper Wardrobe.

The hamper for keeping the Infants
belongings is now considered more cor
rect than the open basket of lace and
ribbon draperies.
This is a sensible change, since such
airy fabrics must be kept perfectly
fresh to be attractive and few mothers
can manage to do this when they have
the care of a young baby. At the start
there is nothing prettier than the open
basket. but 1t soon gets soiled and
quickly loses it's daintiness. Not so the
closed hamper. This will keep pre-
sentable as long as 1t is in use
Prospective mothers will find great
saving by lining the hamper at homo,

Vegetables-Old and New.

| Nine-tenths of the vegetab bles sold in
the markets are too old; they are
past the period of best flavor. This is
| especially true of peas and beans, both
| string and lima. Many a traveller re-
! turning from France and Italy has
| complained that the peas and beans in
| those countries are so superior to ours
| AS a matter Of fact, we can and dc
grow vegetables equally good, but we
| pick them too late and cook them toe
| long.
majority of farmers are more con-
cerned about the size of their vegeta-
bles than about their flavor, and where
! a farmer or a merchant who knows
tries to market his produce at the per-

| Several years ago farm was started
I on the farm-to-family- hamper idea
| The owners of this farm knew how
| things should be grown, and when
| they should be harvested. Their stock
| was of the best, and every vegetable
was picked at the proper stage. Their
| hampers were a delight to connoisseurs;
| the vegeta bles were young, fresh and
of perfect favor. But from num-
ber of persons who never had tasted

complaints.
THE skins of the potatoes are 50 thin
| they are hard to peel. The peas and
| beans are not as large we can get
| in the MARKET" etc.
| This was before the vegetables had
| been tasted; afterward there were no
complaints. The point is obvious: but
| it serves to show the difficulties in the
way of procuring vegetables at their
best. We never will get them until
housewives learn to demand them-to
refuse the large, mealy peas and beans
and accept only the young and succu-
lent.
In preparing vegeta bles, the average
cook boils them too long. AS a matter
of fact. many vegetables are better
steamed than boiled, as steaming pre-
serves better their flavor; but the diff
ference is hardly worth the extra
trouble entailed. But the extra trouble
due to watching the boiling vegetables
and taking them out when they are
cooked to perfection is well worth
while.
A majority Of cooks let their vege-
| tables boil from ten to twenty min
utes longer than is necessary. while
they prepare or serve other dishes.
Such cooks should be taught that the
| flavor of boiled vegetables is de-
stroyed by overlooking, just as surely
as is the flavor of meat or other dishes.
! In brief, the cooking of vegetables is
| as much an art as any other culinary
branch. They cannot, as many appear
| to believe, be treated as carelessly as q
not of plain boiling water.

The blouse is long-waisted and draped
in at the waist by means of brief.

Asparagus Season.

Little variety is possible in the serv-
ing Of asparagus: but as the season is
very short this fact is not of great i'm
portance. There are times, however
when the price Of asparagus is high OF
the quality is low-times when It is
better to serve 1t in some way that de-
mands a less liberal quantity.
Unless merged with some other dish
asparagus always should be served as
separate course. In the first place
this is the only way to do it full JUS
tice: and In the second place it is
messy" and untidy when eaten from
the same plate with other food. Used
separately. it may take the place of a
salad-whether served hot with butter
or cold with dressing.
When the asparagus is not of the best
flavor 1t is better to serve 1t with Hol-
landaise sauce, as this is highly fla
vored and compensates for the absence
of flavor in the vegetable.
Hollandaise Sauce.-Rub to a cream
half cup Of butter; add the yolks OF
four eggs, and beat well together: add
