A most delicious way of serving strawberries Is to hollow out a sufficient number of popovers, and fill them with sweetened strawberries: roll or sprinkle with powered sugar and serve with cream, Eggs, With Cheese Sauce and Asparagus.—Cover four eggs with boiling water (at least two quarts), cover closely and let stand on the back of the stove for half an hour. Chill the eggs and remove the shells, then cut in quarters lengthwise. Have ready eight rounds of hot buttered toast: set two pieces of egg on each and dispose them in a circle on a hot plate. Set a bunch of hot boiled asparagus tips in the center and-pour a part of a cup of hot cheese sauce over the eggs. Serve the rest of the sauce separately. Cheese Sauce. —Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of flour, salt and pepper, then add a cup of milk and cook until thick. Add a half cup of grated cheese, and when it is melted the sauce is ready to serve.

Put all the ingredients into a bowl, using a knife to mix with, adding flour as needed. When light shape into a loaf and when light again bake an hour.
