Asparagus
In selecting asparagus, give prefer-j
ence to slender, bright green stalks that
feel crisp and cool to the touch. < are
must be giveu to cleansing the spikes,
for often they are full of grit; if at all
wilted or it' time must elapse before the
vegetable is cooked, tney may be
washed in cold salted water and:
wrapped in wet brown paper.
Like all vegetables, asparagus should
be cooked as soon after gathering as
possible.
The asparagus tips are the dainty,
fine tasting parts, and as they cook
very quickly the following [dan is good:
After washing the stalks with a soft,
brush and much water, tie them in I
bunches with the heads together andl
the ends even. Set the bunches, tips
up, in a deep sauce pan, and pour on]
enough boiling salted water to almost
cover the bunch and cook fifteen min
utes. By keeping the bunches upright
in this way the tender tops are
steamed and the thick stalks are boiled.
Asparagus is serveir on hot. well but
tered toast with or' without sauce. It
is also served in souffle, in omelette,
and with a dressing of hot vinegar and
butter, but however it n]»pears finally,
it must first be boiled as directed.
Asparagus mold is a handsome gar
nish for planked meats: Cook and drain
the plant and cut it in short lengths and
place in small buttered molds with al
ternate layers of green peas. Let the :
last layer be of peas and hard boiled (
eggs, the latter being pressed through '
a sieve. Cover with a rich, plain white f
sauce and steam in a pan of water in a
hot oven forty minutes. After the meat I
is planked, invert the molds around it '
and the garnish will come out smoothly, r

QUESTIONS ANT) ANSWERS
"in our town we have a woman's
dub that is interested with home topics. !
! We desire to close our year's work in j
dune and would like you to suggest
some entertainment that would be amus- I
i ing, inexpensive and suitable to invite
| the men in our families to. We can !
j have our town hall or a church for the I
| occasion.—Married."
Reply.-—As June is the great month j
tor wedding anniversaries and vou are j
all well acquainted, why not have a '
town wedding anniversary*
This is not an original idea with me !
by any means, but has been tried out |
in several towns and provides oppor- !
tunitv for "a big spread" in the wav I
of a supper and quantities of fun
* « »
"Will von please tell me what to do I
with a tireless cooker that does not
cook ? I read so much about how help
ful these things were that I was per
suaded to buy one. I was told thin-s
would come out of them piping hot; in
stead they come out piping cold, and I
am disgusted. I put beets in on Satur
da.v night and when I opened the cooker
on Monday they were the same as at ,
first.—Nora B."
Reply.—The cooker is doubtless all ]
right, but you do not understand it.
Vou had better write to the firm who
made it for a book of directions for
using it.

AFOfflt AND HIS
JpkMONEY

CONTINUED
I "Have you been'discussing her most
I sacred affairs with her. you blither
tag"—
"No, sir." sold he. with dignity. "She
bns been discussing them with rae."
T have no recollection of what I said '
as ! stalked out of the room. He call- j
ed out after me. somewhat pleadingly,
1 thought:
"Ask Britton what he has to say i
about It."
Things had come to a pretty pass!
Couldn't a gentleman be polite and 1
agreeable to a young and charming
lady whom circumstances had thrown |
In his way without having his motives
misconstrued by a lot of snoopiug.
i idk#ic menials whose only zest In life [
sprung from a temperamental tenden- 1
cy to belittle the big things and en
large upon the small ones?
Unexpectedly I met Britton:
"Britton. what's all this gossip 1 hear
j going the rounds of the castle behind
my bnck?" I exclaimed.
Confound him, lie looked pleased!;
"It's quite tpie. sir: quite true."
"Quite true!" I roared. "What's
quite true, sir?"
"Isn't it. sir?" he asked, dismayed.
"Isn't what?"
"1 mean to say. sir. isn't it true?"
"My 'iod! - ' I cried, throwing up my
| hands In hopeless despair. "You—you
wait: I'm going to #et to the bot
tom of this. 1 want the truth. Brit
ton. Who put It Into that confounded
head of yours that I am—er—ln love
with the countess? Speak! Who did!
It?" I
lie lowered his voice, presumably be- !
cause I had dropped mine to a very ]
Joud whisper. I also had glanced over
both shoulders.
"Begging your pardon, sir, but I j
must be honest, sir. It was you as
llrst put it into my 'end. sir."
"I?" My face went the color of a
cardinal's cap.
"You, sir. rt's as plain as the nest
on your"—
"That will do. Britton." I command |
ed. .He remained discreetly silent
"That will do, I say," 1 repeated some'
what testily. "Do yon hear, sir?"
"Yes, sir," he responded, "That wil 1
; do, you says."
| "Ahem! I—ahem!"
Five minutes later I was at her door]
my heart in my mouth. A sudden,
| inexplicable form of panic took pos !
session of me.
After some deliberation I came to a
decision. The proper thing for me tc;
1 do was to show all of them that theit J
ridiculous suspicious vuge wrong. Res- j
i oiuteiy 1 marched downstairs.
For some two long and extremely'
monotonous days 1 toiled. 1 could not•
; deny to myself that 1 was missing 1
those pleasant hours with the countess. I
1 did miss them. 1 missed Kosemary;
ami Jiuko and Helen Marie Louise An
toinette and Blake.
Blatcbford came to the door.
"A note for you, sir, if you please." j
said he. He was holding the salver \
I almost on a level with Ids nose.
My heart —my incomprehensible
I heart—gave a leap that sent the blood |
rushing to my face.
"Thank you, Blatcbford; that will'
do."
"1 b(% your pardon, sir. but there is
to be an answer."
"Oh!" said I.
I tore open the envelope.
I managed to dash off a brief note
In a fairly nonchalant manner. Blatch
ford almost committed the unpardon
able crime of slamming the door be-'
hind he was in such a hurry to be
off with tile message.
Then I went over and stood above ;
Mr. I'oopcndyke.
"Mr. Poopendyke," said I slowly,
darkly, "what do you know about those
violets?"
He quailed. "1 hope you don't mind.
Mr. Smart, it's ail right. 1 put one
of your cards in so that there couldn't
be any mistake."
Halfway up the winding stairways II
paused in some astonishment. It had
just occurred to me that I was goiug
up the steps two at a time and that;
my heart was beating like mad.
1 reflected. Here was I racing along
like a schoolboy, and for what? What
occasion was there for such unseemly
haste? In the iirst place, it was nowi
but a few minutes after 11. and she!
had asked me for luncheon. There was!
no getting around that. At best lunch
eon was two hours off. So why was I
galloping like this? The series of self
Inflicted questions found me utterly
unprepared. I couldn't answer one of
them.
After ten minutes of serious, undis-!
tnrbed consideration of the matter 1
came to the final conclusion that it :
was not love, but pity, that had driven
rae to such abnormal activity. It was
nonsense to even nrgue the point.
For nn hour and a half by my watch, j
but five or six by my nerves. I paced
the lonely, sequestered halls in the
lower regions of the castle. Two or
three times I was sure that my watch 1
hud stopped, the hands seemed so sta
tionary. The third time t tried tc' ,
wind It I broke the mainspring, but as ; |
it was nearly 1 o'clock not much harm
was done.
That one little sentence. "Have you ; .
deserted me?" grew to be a voluminous | j
indictment. I could think of nothing
else There wns something ineffably
sad and pathetic about it. Had she
been unhappy because of m.v beastly
behavior?
At last I approached her door. Upon
uiy soul, my legs were trembling! I
experienced a silly sensation of rear.
I hesitated: then, plucking up my cour
age and putting all silly questions be
hind me, 1 rapped resouudingly on the
door.
The excellent Hawkes opened It. I
started back in dismay. He stood
aside impassively.
"Mr. Smart!" lie announced.
1 caught sight of the countess. She
was arranging some (lowers on the ta
bic. Hlatchford was placing the knives
and forks. Helen Marie I.ouis An
toinette stood beside her mistress hold
ing a box of flowers in her hands.
What was it that I had been think
ing out there in those gloomy halls?
That she would greet me with a
pathetic, hurt look and—
I Came to the Final Conclusion That
It Wai Not Love, but Pity.
"Good morning!" she cried gnyly.
Hurt? Pathetic? She was radiant)
"So glad to see you again. Hawkei
has told me how busy you've been."
"Awfully, awfully busy." 1 murmur
ed. Was it relief at finding her sc
happy and unconcerned that swept
through me? lam morally but shame
lessly certain it wasn't.
"Don't you think the roses are lovely
in that old silver bowl?"
"Exquisite!"
"Blatchford found it in the plate
vault.'" she said, standing off to admire
the effect. "Do you mind if i go on
arranging them?" she asked, and with
out waiting for an answer resumed her
employment.
"Uou jour, m'sieur," said Helen Ma
rie Louise Antoinette over her mis
tress' shoulder. One never knows
whether a French maid Is polite or
merely spiteful.
"It seems ages since I saw you last,"
said the countess in a matter of fact
tone, jiggling a rose into positiou and
then standing off to study the effect,
her head cocked prettily at an angle
of inquiry.
It suddenly occurred to me that she
bad got on very well without me dur
ing the ages. The discovery irritated
me. She was not behaving at all as
I had expected.
"There liasu't been a great deal of
news." I said.
She dropped a long stemmed rose
and waited for me to pick it up.
"Thank you," she said. "Oh. did It
prick you?"
"Yes." said 1 flatly. Then we both
gave the closest attention to the end
of my thumb, while t triumphantly
squeezed a tiny drop of blood out of
it. I sucked It. The incident was!
closed. She was no longer interested
in the laceration.
"So you thought 1 had deserted you?"
I said, and was a little surprised at
the grttffness in my voice.
"The violets appeased me." she said,
with a smile. For the first time 1 no
ticed that Rite was wearing a large |
bunch of them. "You will be bank-i
rupt. Mr. Smart, If you keep ou buying
roses and violets and orchids for me."
So the roses were mine also! 1 shot;
a swift glance at the mantelpiece. Ir- 1
reslstibly moved by some mysterious
force. There were two bowls of or
chids there.
"But they are lovely!" she cried, not
ing the expression in my face anil mis
construing It. "You are an angel."
That was the last straw. "I am
nothing of the sort!" 1 exclaimed, very
hot and uncomfortable.
"You are." was her retort. "There!
isn't It a lovely centerpiece? Now,
you must come and see Rosemary.
She adores the new elephant you sent
to her."
"Ele"— I began, blinking my eyes.
"Oh—oh. yes. yes! Ha. ha! The ele
phant!" Good heavens! Had that
idiotic Poopendyke started a menage
rie in my castle?
I was vastly relieved to find that the
elephant was made of felt and not too
large to keep Rosemary from wielding
It skillfully in an assault upon the hap
less Jinko.
CHAPTER XVI.
The Count and Herr Schwartzmuller.
OtJR luncheon was not as gay
nor as unconventional as oth
ers that had preceded It.
The countess vainly tried to
make it as sprightly as Its predeces
sors. but gave over in despair in the
face of my taciturnity. Her spirits
drooped. She became strangely un
easy and. I thought, preoccupied.
"Wlmt is ou your mind, countess?"
I asked rather gruffly, after a painful
silence of some duration.
She regarded me fixedly for a mo
ment She seemed to be searching
i my thoughts. "Yoil,' she said very
succinctly. "Why are you so quiet,
so funereal?" I observed a faint tinge
of red in her cheeks and an ominous
steadiness In her gaze. Was there an
ger also?
I apologized for my manners and as
sured her that my work was respon
sible. \\ ou Id 1 come to see her t lie
next day?
"Rut don't think of coming. Mr.
Smart." she declared, "if you feel yon
canuot spare the time away from your
work."
"My dear countess." I exclaimAl, dis
playing a livelier Interest than at any
time before. "I shall be delighted to
come. Permit me to add that my work
may go hang."
Her face brightened. "Rut men must
work." she objected.
"Not wheu women are willing to
piny." I said
