"""" .!,, -- Yin v , w N 1 .,, . , CHARLES LODI3 NAPOLEON BO- v NAPARTE wanted to be emperor of France, as his uncle. Napoleon Bonaparte, had been. The revolution of 1848 gave him his first chance, for It resulted In his being elected to a seat In the national assembly. His popularity grew and he secured the ollice of president But Louis Napoletm wasn't satisfied with this. He wanted his terra of of fice extended to ten years and a residence In the Tuillerles, Then on December 2. 1851, he staged bis famous coup d'etat The assembly was dissolved and 180 of Its members were placed under arrest At once there was an uprising In the French capital.

Although traditions tell us that asparagus in early Roman times grew several feet tall. It must have shrunk in size during the Dark iges, because we hear It described In Elizabethan times, ""Garden fper-ag-e bath at bis first rising out of the ground thlcke, tender shoots very soft and brittle, of the thickness of the greatest swan's quIIL In taste like the green bean, have at top a certain scaly soft bud." This reminds us of the dainty hoots from a home garden asparagus bed, which used to be the type of product produced there. Now, feveral grades are sometimes thick ind short, but occasionally you find the local product thin, green, and tender. The asparagus which Is produced In the South Is thick and mealy, and for this reason keeps fresh and in good condition on its long trip to northern markets. Like all other vegetables, aspara gus must not be overcooked. I find that I get best results by retylng It In several bundles, after cleaning, and putting It into an asparagus "boiler," which I manufacture by means of a top and bottom of a double boiler. I use a cup or two of water in the bottom of the lower pan, add a dash of sugar and salt, cover It tightly with the upper pan and let It cook over a low Ore. If your utensils are light and do not fit tightly, you will need more water. This method steams the tops and keeps them firm. The length of time for cooking depends upon the original tenderness and the size of the stalks, but 15 to 25 minutes Is the average range of time. The sauce to serve with asparagus has always been a matter of con troversy. There were friendly wars among epicures as to whether the sparrow-grass- " should be dressed with butter or with oil Now we have to decide whether we like plain butter, lemon or "black butter," and whether or not to add grated cheese, American or "arniesan. We may choose, In stead, Hollandalse sauce or a variation of It, or perhaps we will use browned, buttered crumbs. In some households it must always be cut In pieces, and dressed with rich milk or cream. In others a white sauce Is poured over the asparagus ar ranged on toast I have even had It dressed with sour cream, and perhaps my favorite sauce Is that one made with egg yolks, sour cream and tarragon vinegar, which I call special." A cream sauce In which grated cheese has been dissolved or Spanish sauce made with toma toes and green peppers and onions, still cooked with olive oil, makes different dish of this serve-lt- , delicious vegetable. This time I am giving yon some special French recipes for asparagus which yon may like to try for a! change. Asparagus Tips a la Pompadour. Blanch asparagus tips In chicken stock Instead of water. When done, drain and remove string and reserve the tips hot, covered with a cloth. s of Reduce the liquor to two-third- a cupful Beat in a small saucepan three egg yolk while adding the re- duced liquor. Set pan In another pan holding hot water and add a few grains cayenne. Oook and stir with a wooden spoon until thickened, and Just before aerving beat In a few bits of butter. Pour the sauce over the tips, arranged on French croutons, on a hot serving dish. Diced Asparagus a la Francalse. Prepare asparagus. Cut tip end and tender parts of stalks into dice and reserve them. Out the remaining palatable part of each stalk Into dice and turn first into rapidly boiling water to cover, over a brisk fire, adding a slice of lemon, boil eight minutes, then add remainder of reserved diced tender asparagus tips. Boll until tender, adding a teaspoon-fu- l of salt Thoroughly drain. Turn asparagus Into a tablespoonful of melted butter In a saucepan placed In hot water. Tops asparagus In pan, then add a few grains of salt and a dash of white pepper, and pour over the whole an egg sauce. Shake pan to mix. Egg Sauce.

A substitute for this sauce Is often made with finely chopped cold egg mixed In three tablespoonfuls soft creamed butter, seasoned with a few grains of salt and pepper. d one-quart- hard-boile- &, Bell Syndlcat. d WOT Sorvtc.

I know that once you get erlous breach in this respect we may all have to work seven day a week. I certainly d' not believe In tha doctrine.
