Here Are Recipes to Make Cooking of Asparagus Easy

WHAT THE FIRST CROCUS is to the garden, fresh asparagus is to the vegetable counters at market—the fanfare that ushers in spring. When mouth-watering bunches of the succulent vegetable appear in heaps at the groceries, spring really has arrived.

But it is a vegetable easy to cook incorrectly. of these recipes:
Break off the tough ends of the stalks at the point where they snap easily. Trim off the scales and wash the asparagus carefully. Tie the stalks in a loose bunch and stand upright in a kettle of boiling water. Cover the kettle and cook for 15 or 20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender. Drain immediately. If the asparagus is cut in pieces before cooking, keep the tips separate and add them after the rest

Cut the asparagus into pieces about an inch long and put it in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with the chopped olives and egg.

maining ingredients and pour over the asparagus. Almost as delicious as freshly cooked asparagus are the dishes in which it may be used as a leftover. Tender, left-over asparagus may be added to any hot mixed vegetable dish, or a salad. Since it is bland in taste and will not upset the balance of flavor of any dish, it can be used in meat and fish dishes which call for vegetables. The butt ends should not be thrown away. They must be cooked longer and will of course never be as tender as the tips, but they can be ground and used in souffles or pancakes.
ASPARAGUS TURNOVER
Grind or chop fine left-over asparagus or the butt ends. Mix one cup ground asparagus with one cup seasoned, mashed potatoes. Stir in a beaten egg. Fry as patties or as an omelet, sprinkling with cheese before folding.

June Bride Will
By ALICI
NEW YORK, May 2.--Good ne formal June wedding is the impress in flower headdresses. The flower e
There are charming little flat, flower-covered, sailor-type hats to wear behind pompadours. There's an interesting medieval headdress with veiling under the chin and a huge gardenia posed just in front of each ear. A halo of white rosebuds and lilies-of-the-valley is shown with a long, page-boy Lob. A lovely calla lily is pinned on the edge of the veil just behind a tall pompadour. With a flat little wedding hat of snow white stock, a bouquet of white stock, white lilacs and sweet peas would be chic. A halo of tiny white iris calls for a wedding bouquet of iris, freesia and perhaps narcissus. ; June brides of 1941 like wedding bouquets of carnations, stephanotis and calla lilies, as well as white orchids, sweet peas, lilies-of-the-valley and roses. Long-stemmed gardenias, tied with white ribbons, make an interesting bouquet to be teamed with gardenias in the hair.
Flowers Should Suit Bride
A Directoire bonnet of tulle and fresh bouvardia 1s becoming to young heads with classic braids or upswept locks. Flowers for hair and bouquet should be chosen as thoughtfully as gown or veil. They should suit the bride's figure, type and personality as perfectly as do the clothes in her trousseau. Once the choice is made, the groom should be given a picture or sketch of the headdress and type of bouquet to give to the florist who will send or wire the flowers. Incidentally, it’s no more trouble to send a headdress by wire than it is to send a simple corsage or box of cut flowers. The short, “little girl” type bride should leave the bouquet that is a sheaf of calla lilies to the tall, stately bride. The large girl will be more flattered by a large bouquet and flower headdress in harmonizing proportion than by a tiny, old-fash-ioned knot of flowers for a bouquet and a few small blossoms in the hair. Fresh flower muffs, however, are a good choice for all sizes and types. Small muffs are becoming to short brides; Integr muffs to tall girls.
Sectional am Popular The sectional wedding bouquet Is popular because it gives every bridesmaid a sure chance of ‘catching some flowers when the bride
makes her exit. Actually it is a group of small corsages, fastened together with wire and finished with ribbons. The bride loosens wire and ribbons before tossing the flowers to the bridesmaids.

Heads Elected By Clubwomen
Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, Whiting, is the new president of the Indiana Federation of Clubs. She was elected yesterday at the closing sessions of the organization's three-day convention in the Claypool Hotel. Alvin M. Owsley, former diplomat and a past national commander of the American Legion, spoke at a banquet last night, concluding the conference. Other officers elected yesterday were: Mrs. W. H. Lykins, Covington, first vice president; Mrs. Walter C. Allen, Ft. Wayne, second vice president; Mrs. George R. Dillinger, French Lick, third vice president; Mrs. A. S. Miles, Plainfield, recording secretary; Mrs. Victor A. Selby, Fairmount, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Fred Bell, Rushville, treasurer; Mrs. Cogley G. Cole, Vevay, trustee, and Mrs. George W. Jaqua, Winchester, director. Mr. Owsley urged unity in the government's “all out” efforts to defend America in his address. He recommended aid be rushed to Britain with all speed, including the use of convoys and airplane protection, if necessary, to guarantee delivery of American food and war materials to Britain. He said that it would be a criminal waste to allow American workmen to manufacture war materials, put them on ships and have their efforts defeated? by the sinking of, those ships. “It must be the order of the day,” he said, “that whatever we start to Britain gets there. We must make good our promise of aid to the democracies or we should never have given our word of honor to aid them. When America speaks, we must be worthy of the belief and trust. It makes no difference whom you supported for President in November. We must forget the past and turn to the present and the
future.”
