them in good condition. For busting,
cheesecloth is recommended by a

chopped, Or grated cocoanut sprinkied
over the jelly, improves both taste and
appearance of this dish. Peaches,
pears and ounces may be prepared in
the same way, the two latter needing
somewhat longer cooking.

A salad that is prettily and appetiZ-
ingly served with fish or oyster course
