 With great care and real enjoy ment I plan my assortment for a spring vegetable plate, and with just as much enjoyment eat it. Things taste so good when they are inviting to look at .. and an assortment in- variably tickles the wayward spring appetite.
 I try not to use too many of the vegetables that we've had all win ter long. One of my favorite ensem- bles is this one: A baked stuffed Idaho potato (they are still good ur- til late in the spring), fresh string beans cut in thin strips and boiled in salted water, then drained and buttered; hot buttered beets (which I sometimes dress with a little hot vinegar or lemon juice, to give them a light salad touch); creamed par snips and generous service of sauted mushrooms served on a round of toast.
 When these are arranged on a large plate-the beans garnished with a sprinkling of grated cheese, the parsnips with their cream sauce topped with dash of paprika, and sprig of green parsley laid care lessly at the side where it gives a bit of color and freshness to the mushroom-potato group. '. there is not a more appetizing spring dinner to be found anywhere.

Beef Steak With a Wine Sauce
BY CHLOE JAMESON

Steak with mushrooms .. :. steak with onions .. these are univer- sal favorites of the men of our land, but not the least bit new. Beef steak with wine sauce is not new, either, so far as its origin is concerned. It belongs to that long, ago period before prohibition, when good cooks were proud of the things they could do with a little wine. But to the younger gener- ation of men and those who have forgotten the artistry of those elaborate times it will seem an innovation. And is it delicious!
 Beef Steak With Wine Sauce
 Pan broil a porterhouse steak Cor you may use tenderloins) by placing the meat in very hot dry pan; turn the steak quickly every half minute, keeping it covered as much as possible. Cook about five minutes, or until it is done. Then sprinkle with salt, little pepper and paprika, put a piece of butter on top and sprinkle with parsley. Pour over it half cup of consomme and half cup of sherry; when thoroughly heated, add the juice of half lemon and serve at once.
 This is dish to serve on rather special day or when the man of the house brings a friend home after a round of golf. Minute potatoes go well with it or finely shredded shoestring potatoes and buttered asparagus or new cauli- flower Hollandaise. Hurry with it before summer comes along and forbids the. good red meats and broils and roasts that men love so well. It is an ideal treat with which to taper off these last spring days.

PRESERVING EGGS

When you have egg yolks left over from cake recipe and are not ready to use them at once, put them in glass jar and cover them with cold water; put the lid on and set the jar in the refrigerator. When the yolks are needed, pour off the water and they will be as fresh and moist as the day you put them in the jar. They will keep perfectly fresh for three or four days when treated this way.

SPRING HOT DOG FEAST

There's romance in roasting hot dogs on long forked sticks, but sometimes no sticks are available; again, when in a hurry, or too in dolent to do ones bit, it would seem nice to have the hot dogs handled in some less personal manner. Re- member to take along a popcorn roaster of the old-fashioned wire type with long handle and you'll have an efficient broiler that can be managed with one hand by one man. Lay the frankfurters on the popper, hand it over to him and command him to shake the pepper gently over the coals until the franks are Drowned. It's a very satisfactory system.
