The best sauce for asparagus is per.
haps plain melted butter. Dipping the
stalks into the butter and eaten as
one does celery. The following sauce
is rather difficult to make but IS the
best Of all sauces for asparagus.
Asparagus served in a rich white
sauce served on toast is dish most
common. Asparagus cut in small
pieces and cooked in milk is another
good way 10 save every bit Of the fla
vor. Season with salt, pepper and
butter and II liked, a small amount OF

Asparagus cooked and added to an
omelet is another good dish. Simply
fold in a few tablespoOnfuls OF aspara-
gus as the omelet goes into the pan.
Poached eggs served with a white
sauce and asparagus Is another good
dish. Serve the sauce on buttered
toast with a pOached egg on each.

Then toast brown on both sides. A

that is a satisfaction in these days Of

This is not the time Ok place to in
dulge in a summary Of the triumphal
procession Of jersey from an out
lander TO a conquerOr. Women have
used the word as we'll as the weave
indifferently, and they speak Of 1t
slightly as q thing of the beach, the
country lane and the hard benches
about the field of sport.
Even the high price of the slender
fabric, which Chanel took il into her
head to embrOider with gold and sill
yer, did not make women stop to con-
slider that such riotous extravaganza
had purpose behind 1t.
Jersey coats and skirts were
trimmed with fur, worn during the
summer months and hung in the closet
at other times They were bit more
Of caprice than Colored sweater, so
women thought, but the manufacture
ers' thought ran In another vein. They
saw In Jersey cloth a sturdy, reliable
fabric that could be standardized and
kept continually on the market like
serge.
Amazing Success Of Jersey Cloth.
At the moment, 1t looks as though
the manufacturers have thought bet
ter than the public. Jersey not only
rivals serge in the spring clothes, but
runs ahead Of II. Even the importers
In this country were surprised when
the packers opened the enormous
boxes which CAME over on the French
steamers from Bordeaux and lifted

one has a feeling that the exIgen.
cles of war have made women get
hold OF all the mems undershirts they
could find, dip them in the dye Dot. mt
belt around them and use them with
a plated skirt.
The one feeling Of discOuragement
that the American importers have had
about the abundance Of jersoy cloth
clothes was caused by the sad tones
which the buyers have chosen. An al
most unlimited range of gray and
beige predominates.
Not one Of these colors is especial
ly attractive on the American wom-
an. 1t takes a peculiarly toned bru-.
nette to wear string, masdc, cafe au
lait, beige and the biscuit tones, and
1t takes peculiarly toned i, ,de to
wear gray in its several light shades
that have neither blue nor mauve in
them.
However, the French designers have
got around this by using collars,
belts, cuffs and facings Of black, dark
blue and white on these gray and
beige Jersey costumes.
1t may be due to some inability to
dye this new type 6f jersey that the
sad colors are chosen, or It may be
that the manufacturers of materials
in France prefer to use the gray and
beige in these everyday suits and keep
the gorgeous colors for evening and
afternoon frocks.
Have Long Tunic Coats.
The majority of the jersey suits, and
they may be called frocks as well,
have long, tunic coats that reach to
the knees and must be slipped on
over the head through the opening at
the neck. These coats are as shape
less as the costumery of the tenth
century, and they depend entirely upon
the girdle for a silhouette Of any grace
or distinction.
One Of the best Of the jersey frocks,
which was instantly snapped up by
the American woman, is combination
Of black and cafe au lait. The top Of
the skirt is of the latter color and is
slightly held in at the waistline SO
that it will not stretch in an ungainlJ
manner across the hips and spine. It
is cut off across the hips in a sharp
line that turns and outlines a panel in
the back. The lower half Of the skirt
is of black jersey, Joined to the top
In such manner that it gives a slight
barrel effect and then curves Ia to the
ankles and falls in an irregular line

note of the really smart frOck. The

near a climax as 1t has been at any time
since the war started two and half

matter is question. The German note

HOUSE BILL NO. "a KILLED.

The most remarkable and radical
legislation ever proposed in North Da.
kota, or probably in any state, was def.
nltely killed in the senate on Tuesday
by vote of 20 to 20,
While some of the provisions of this
bill will probably again appear before
the people in the form Of regular consti
tutional amendments and thus become
future subjects of discussion, yet it is
useless at this time to argue over its
merits of the many radical changes as
proposed.
We are glad however that this stumb.
ling block IS out of the way, because of
its influence on othermore or less desira
BILE legislation. The division of sentl-
mrnt on this bill has extended to the
consideration of almost all other laws
that have been introduced. 1t was not
so much question of the merits OF any
proposed legislation as to where the
senator or representative author stood
on Bill No. a.
Aside from the merits or demerits of
the bill, which was proposed as new
constitution, to our mind the greatest
jActIon,. was the grouping of such a
large number of radical changes, few of
which had.an special reference to each
other, to which both The Legislature and
the people later, had to answer yes or
no, AS II whole.
We can hardly think it possible that
even the majority in the house, all be
l'eve in all the proposed amendments:
We are certain at least large mum bt r
of the voters might be favorable to solpe
and opposed TO other parts. Very few
men could possibly be favorable 10 a
program that included state.owned in
dus'res of any sort, to compulsory hail
surnnce, to the investment of the COM
mon school funds in such state business,
to the establishment of terminal eleva
tors. TO the erection of flour mills, to the
aboiishment of poll taxes. TO exemption
from military duty, to four Year terms
for officials, to a wholesale appointment
of all state. county and district officials
instead Of elections etc.
1t is absurd to think that any think
lng man coulI answer all these PROPOSE
tions as a whole b, single yes or no.
In our opinion. as II matter Of political
policy, this more than any other one
thing. was here the non partisan lead.
ers fell down. With the momentum
gained last November they were drunk
with speed and attempted to revolution
ize North Dakota into Socialist state
within a few weeks.
Now let US take up these subjects one
by one; let us calmly and deliberately
study them over; let us pass them If we
desire. through the TWO legislatures and
then have vote by the people. in the
legitimate constitutional way. Give the
people tlme-and they will in the long
run decide about right.
