HOW TO COOK AND
SERVE ASPARAGUS
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.) &
Asparagus should always be cooked
usß soon as possible after it is cut. It
toughens and loses flavor very rapidly
if allowed to stand. To prepare it for
cooking trim off any tough ends, brush
carefully, and scrape off the larger
scales, Warh so as to remove all sand
and particles of earth which may have
lodged under the scales. Fresh, ten
der, home-grown asparagus does not
need scraping.
Asparagus is cooked In slightly salt
ed water whole, or cut up in inch
lengths, The pleces may be left whole,
The cooking time of fresh tender
young stalks cut up In this way may
be only five to ten minutes, according
to the United States Department of
Agrienlture; twenty to twenty-five
minutes’ cooking at most should be
enough,
Season the cooked asparagus with
salt, pepper, butter and a little cream
if you have it. Let it stand in a warm
place for a few minutes and then
gerve, either alone or on toast. Hol
landalse o white sanuce may accom
pany the asparagus or ‘mayonnaise or
vinalgrette, which is similar to French
dressing,

In many places fresh tomatoes are
not obtainable during the spring, The
flavor of tomato, however, is 80 #c
ceptable in salad, and the vitamines
contained even In canned tomatoes
are so important in the diet, that an
attractive way of serving tomato in
a salad has been evolved. A jelly is
made from the canned tomato juice.
While no other flavor need be used.
a particularly good aspic is made by
molding other vegetables, cut up in
small pieces, in the tomato juice. Here
is the recipe, from the buréau of
home economics:
1% envelopes, or 8 tsp, gelatin
1 quart canned tomatoes
1 ths. finely chopped green pepper .
2 tba. finely chopped celery i
1 ths, finely chopped parsley
1 cup very finely shredded cabbage
1% tsp. salt
3% tsp. onion juice
3% tsp. sugar
Soak the gelatin fn a small amount
of water, Boil the tomatoes for fiva
minutes, and strain through a fine
sleve to remove the seeds. Pour the
hot tomato juice over the gelatin and
stir until it 1s dissolved. Add the salt
and the sugar and chill. When the
gelatin mixture is partly set, add the
finely shredded vegetables and mix
well. Add more salt, If needed. Also
if the mixture s not tart enough, add
a little lemon juice or vinegar. Pour
into wet custard cups and place in
the cold until set, Turn these molds
. out on crisp lettuce leaves and serve
with mayonnaise,

Flank Steak Can Be Made Into Savory Dish,
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A flank steak Is one of the less tender
cuts of meat, since it has long muscle
fibers which become somewhat stringy
unless cooked and carved in the right
way, Flank steak, however, 1s eco
nomical, for there Is no bhone and
other waste material, Like others
among the less tender cuts, it can
be mude into an attractive and dell
clous dish when one knows how,
The general method of cooking any
of the less tender cuts differs from
the method for tender cuts. Heat,
moisture, and slow cooking, belp to
make these cuts tender. The flank
steak stuffed with well-seasoned mix
ture s first seared and then cooked
slowly In a tightly covered vessel un
til the meat Is tender.
The ingredients for stuffed flank are

KIDDIE STORY
“l was flying over a house tonight,”
said the fairy named Silvery Night,
“and 1 heard the voice of a little child
inside,
“I hopped on the window sill where
she couldn’t see me, She was talking
to her mother,
““When does the doctor say I'll be
able to sit up? she asked,
“‘Very soon, my love,’ her mother
said, ‘you must be a little stronger.’
“*Oh, mother,’ the little girl said,
‘1 do hope it will be soon. I get so
tired of being in bed. 1 feel so very
lonely sometimes without my friends,

“Now 1 found out that this little
girl always sat by her window before
she went to bed and looked at the
stars, and so many nights she saw the
Shooting Stars.
“She loved them so,” continued Sil

them if there were any to see,

Voluminous Drapery @
© ° Focused to One Hip
DRESSMAKI‘.\'G is becoming quiet
a one-sided affair, as the froek in
the picture bears testimony. Many of
the new gowns are just like that and
even more so—the voluminous drapery
focused to one hip in one huge effect
of poufs, bows, loops, jabots, sash
ends and tag ends, which sometimes
dangle so as to form uneven hem
lines. Especially are the irregular
hemlines featured in the one-side
draped evening gown. ’
So if you are looking for a decided:
ly voguish pattern for the dress you
are planning to make, seek out one
which has a conspicuous side drape.
There is nothing newer or smarter in
the way of styling than the one-hip
effect-—unless it be the unique bustle
effects which bring all the drapery to
the back., The strange part of the
muchly be-draped frocks whieh con
centrate voluminous bows and flounces
at the back is that in their new
fashioned styling they assume a
quaint old-fyshioned look—quite a la
Godey’'s Ladies’ Book, some of them,
To be sure the bustle drape is too ex
treme to attract the average woman,
but nevertheless the trend of fashion,

However, returning to the subject
of the one-side effect, designers find
that soft sheer materials or the stiffer
materials are each admirably adapt
able to this treatment. Quite a flaic
has sprung up for taffeta, also moire
and certain extra-weight satins, espe
cially for the making of evening
gowns which feature either the one
hip drape or bustle effect. Daytime
modes adhere rather to the less formal

parent crepes. /

feminine frock in thig picture is called

50-YEAR HUNT FOR
- SISTER REWARDED
Eastern Woman Finds Lost
Kin in Chicago.
New York.—Fifty years of search
for a younger sister who had been
placed in an orphan asylum brought
unexpected results recently for Mrs,
Mary Neumann of Brooklyn, who, re
joicing on her seventy-first birthday
anniversary, spoke to her long lost
sister for the first time over the long
distance telephone from Chicago.
The sister, Mrs. Catherine Knerr of
7218 South Hermitage avenue, Chica
go, was located. by ‘Mrs. Neumann
when Mrs., Knerr placed an advertise
ment in a Brooklyn newspaper.
Mrs. Neumann is looking forward
‘eagerly to the reunion which will be
arranged at an early date, when Mrs.
Kperr will probably come to New
York. .
This little introduction is merely the
culmination of an intensely dramatic
story spread over a half century of
family life—of a family split up by
misfortune., Now the last remaining
aging threads are being brought to
gether again.
The father was George Nelson, who
had gained wide prominence as a
building contractor and owned blocks
of buildings surrounding his palatial
home at 350 East Thirty-second
street, New York city. There were
four daughters and three sons in the
family. ; ; ' ‘
When Mary, now Mrs. Neumann,
was fourteen, her mother died. Not
long after, Mrs. Neumann tells, her
father, who was the Beau Brummel
of his time, became infatuated with a
woman . and moved to New Jersey to
live with her, .
Catherine, who was then five, was
placed in an orphan home along with
‘her two B&isters, Mamie and Louise,
~who were mere babies. Mrs. Neu
mann was married shortly afterward
and she reared her brothers. :
From the, orphan asylum the three
girls were adopted into different fam
ilies and they eventually lost trace of
each other.
Mrs. Neumann for years wrote to
all the asylums around New York, but
she only succeeded in locating Louise,
who has since died. .
Mrs. Neumann celebrated her birth
day in happiness in her cozy- little
Brooklyn home at 2815 Atlantic ave
nue, surrounded by her children and
grandchildren. All are familiar with
her unflagging search for. her sister
and are looking forward to her hap
piness when the reunion takes place,
