The Oysters Beard.

Old fashioned cookbooks invariably
order us to berg the oyster. II
was quite an experienced housekeeper, +"
said well known cooking authority,
"before / knew what the beard of an
oyster was 1t is, believe, the little
frill.
1.-THE question then occurred, Why
should this portion be removed? With
our American oyster there is no occa-
sion to remove it, and we never do it, "
No doubt many a new housekeeper
has felt guilty of emitting to do some
thing that should be done when she
served her husband oysters with their
"beards" ON. She felt doubly guilty
when he praised them and declared they
were the best oysters he had ever eaten.
Probably she kept the secret until she
consulted some old housekeeper, who
promptly told her she didn't know what
the beard of an oyster was, and that GER
tainly no one nowadays ever removes it..
This expression is generally found in
old English works of the order Of the
Complete British Housewife. 1t is prob
able that this portion of the oysters of
Great Britain is especially tinctured
with their coppery flavor and was for
merly removed. Certainly no one today
who eats his oysters at Delmonico's OF
at any famous restaurant finds the frill
or any portion of the mollusk, except
the shell, missing.

Making Love I'm a Tree.

Billing and cooling among the Fijians
is curious feature in their social Gus

to do any counting within doors. The
gardens or plantations are the spots held
sacred to Cupid, and the generally APP
proved trysting place of lovers is high
up among the branches of a breadfruit
tree.
You may often walk around a planta-
tion on moonlight night and see
couples perched 40 feet from the ground
in the breadfruit trees, one on each side
of the trunk, position which comes
fairly within the limits of a Fijian
