How t. Eat an Oyster.
Golden Age.

There is only one way in which an
oyster can be eaten. There it lies on
the shell, hard, white and plump, its
convoluted edge matching the rim OF
the shell. You pass the thin blade Of
your knife carefully under it, and re-
lease the fiborus heart from its pearly
connection. Then you lay your knife
down, take the frontal edge OF the
oyster firmly between your thumb and
finger, bring it up in front of your face
in close connection with your lips, look
at it an instant, lay your mead back,
shut your eyes, open your mouth,
place the delicious morsel on your
tongue SO as to sense its fine saltiness,
then let go your hold of it, and-away
it goes. rs slowly and easily rs ship
glldes lar away into the welcome sea.
Whoever has done this deed once. and
felt the full physical rapture Of it, has
one memory, at least, that, will never
die while the sense Of the palate re-
mains.

and saved the cherished woman.
