ASPARAGUS

Did you ever have all the asparagus
You wanted at once. If you answer eyes" "
IL is proof you are no true lover of this
delicate plant. 1t is the finest of all vege-
tables that one can have merely for the
growing Once planted, asparagus keeps
on growing, offering new delights daily
through the spring and summer. For an
asparagus bed never dies out and il it
needs tonic. it is found in common salt
sprinkled over the bed in early spring or
late fall
The plant should be cut AS fast as il
springs from the ground and reaches "A
height of six inches. IF the bed is cut over
several times n season, it will spread and
make better root growth than if allowed
to grow rank and high.
Asparagus with chicken is an old
southern recipe, most delicious. Blend
two tablespoons of flour with two of cook
ing oil. season with salt, a dash of paprika,
little pepper and add cup OF rich milk
Stir this smooth while it heats, then put
IN n cup OF cold veal, or veal and cold
cooked chicken meat, cut fine, and cup
of cooked asparagus tips. two beaten eggs
and one tablespoon Of butter. Line a mold
with more asparagus tips, and turn the
custard mixture into it, Cook 1T in an
outer dish Of water until firm in the center.
The water around the mould must not
boil only simmer. Cool in tho mold and
turn carefully onto serving platter.

LITTLE PATCH OF GROUND.


l recently talked, over the eating
table, with a very successful busi-
ness man who confessed to me
that he had for years been a pro-
nounced Agnostic--until he got 10
studying the great books of Faber,
the writer about flies, spiders and
other little creatures.
Then he changed his thought
about everything. He became as
pronounced a believer in real God
AS he had been a disbeliever in no
God.
He fascinated me with his won
derful stories of the life and habits
of the earth's little insect bodies.
And ] said in myself that the
greatest stories of truth, after all,
come right up out of the ground,
and crawl over the dirt, and climb
trees, and fly through the air.
] thought of the time when |
used to get thrills out of overturn-
ing the ground with the plough
and later seeing green life spring
from the seed planted therein.
Oh, what thing is spring! What
a thing is earthl
God smiling anew in the world.
Sermons in creeping bugs. And
good in everything.
So that if you want to renew your
youth and learn anew how to sing
! in your heart, why not get a little
patch of ground and plant If and
watch il and work it and hive with
it while you may?
There is infinitely more than
conservation in having little patch
of ground, garden.
There is recreation of soul await
ing you there.

REVELATIONS OFA WIFE

Well. there is no use spelling our
trip with speculations concerning
anybody. no matter how romantic.
Wen just talk about ourselves and
enjoy the view"
And. indeed, the beauty Of the
scenery through which we were
passing was enough 10 demand the
sole attention Of anyone. I had
never seen the panorama of the
Hudson more wonderful as he

ed il kaleidoscopically before US.
Flecked. nay, smothered in crimson
and gold. the dark purple heights Of
the Palisades lifted their heads

on the river banks nestled costly in
their setting Of autumn foliage.

slipped by US imperceptibly. Then
came a row OF long, low buildings
with small windows, which made me

myself every time l get a glimpse Of
Sing Sing. / hope it won't be long
before they'll pull down that disease
breeding hell-hole and put up a
building fit for prison"
All Alone Together.
Every cove and promontory along
the river held something of tradi
tional or historic interest for me.
Teller's Point, where Andre crossed
the Hudson; Treason Hill. where Ar
mold and Andre met; Stony Point
lighthouse; all had their message for
me.
To my surprise I found that while
Dicky had taken the sail up the Hud-
son much more frequently than
had, yet he appeared to know little
or nothing about the stored tradition
of the places we passed.
AS we came in sight Of the Storm
King, the magnificent cliff which
stands like a gigantic sentry over the
northern entrance OF the Highlands.
I drew a deep breath of admiration.
ITO think that IL was ever called
Klinkersberg!" I said.
Why. was it," Dicky asked, in
terested.

once called Butter Hill, and then

partly admiring. partly quizzical
glance at me- he added: "See wha,
il is to have history shark for a
wife. I've learned more today about
these places along here than l ever
knew before"
His hand lay on my shoulder with
tender little pressure. I flushed
happily under his praise. and yet.
mingled with my happiness was a
miserable little fear that perhaps
Dickys praise held a sOupcOn Of
satire, that my comments upon the
things that I loved so well might
appear pedantic in his eyes.
