Years ago it was quite proper TO

only a short section was edible. But
with the progress in cultivation of

Asparagus now IS eaten with a

houSekeeper to test the fresh aspara-
gus when she prepares it for cook
ing, and to cut off as much Of the
lower end Of the stem as seems
tough. If only the tender section is
cooked, all Of il can be eaten easily
with a fork.
Artichokes are eaten partly with
the fingers. The soft core or heart
is loosened with a fork. but the petals
must be pulled off by hand. one by
one, dipped in the accompanying
sauce and eaten without the aid of a
fork. Corn on cob, too, Is picked up
with the hand, although a small
corncob-holder now on the market
makes it unnecessary for the fingers
to touch the corn. On the whole,
corn-on-cob is not exactly the dish
for a formal party. It's one Of those
things you can't eat with any dig
