The hoy wlio asked tfhe man how to eat an orange was told that If he wished to" have a "reoll good time" eating it he had better go out behind the barn or somewhere out of stght. A good mlany peonile view with alarm the approach of the asparagus season be cause they never feci quite sure that they can eelt it without disgracing themselves, says the Now York Commercial Adver tiser. Of course, there are several methods in vogue among chefs of preparing thtB suc culent and delicious edible 'Chat insures the asparagus being t-ut into mouthfuls before It reaches the table. But the more refin-ed and apprecfiatlve palates do not approve of hawing every kind of food turned Into a fancy Uiah 'that shadows if it does not dcilirty Its peculiar eCvaractir lsitics. Asparagus Is most dollclous when boiled whole .until tender and served hot with a sauce upon slices (of delicately browned and bultered toast and catch the "d-i' p." Or else v.tien served whole coCd as a sai-a'd with a French dressing of vinegar, olive -oil, pepper and .salt, and a thought of -miWtiaird. But asparagus stalks that are cooked whiole till tihey are tender are limp so limp Mi'alt they walble on the way to the rriouliih. However, that's nothing when you get used 'to '.It. Lift t'he dtalk by the large end, wCuldh is usually dry, and carry the other end to the -mouth on a fork, and there It Is, a bite far an epicure. But wdiile this il3 possible to all, and perfectly proper, there 'is a new wrinkle juat out to add elesance to the episode of ea'i.ng asparagus. 'This is a set of sil ver comprising- a special siDrvCca for this vegetable alone.
