Nice Ways to
Serve Oysters


~ HE oyster season is now in fun
swing The suppers after the the
alter, which are now so much In
vogue. generally consist of a dish OF
oysters-cooked or raw-kidneys a la
Montpensler and a fruit. When the
oysters are cooked, the favorite manner
of preparing them is to remove them
from their own shell and place them in
q larger one, with a piece Of butter
covered with breadcrumbs and grated
parmesan cheese. They are heated in
the oven and served steaming hot.
Some people add chopped mushrooms.
Roasted Oysters.-Scrub the shells.
then place them. the deep shell down,
either on q griddle over the fire or in
hot oven. As soon as the shells open
well they are ready. Remove the top
shell carefully so as not to waste the
liquor and serve at once with a tiny pat
of butter on each.
Dreamed oysters are incest. Scald

but not colored. pour in slowly a gill
of oyster liquor and a gill of cream or

smooth and thick, lay in the oysters,
and when thoroughly hot serve on
squares of hot toast.

MUSIC

1t is probably on account CT the cool
weather that the musicians of st. Paul
are already beginning to gather up the
threads Of endeavor which they drop
ped last June. Various plans are be-
ing discussed for the coming winter,
and if half of these materialiZe a bril-
liant season is assured. The fact that,
with but one exception, no musician
has announced his or her intention of
removing to another town is in itself
promising. The dullness Of the two or
three preceding seasons has been re-
sponsible for the loss to st. Paul of
some of the city's best musicians,
singers particularly. But new ones
have arrived, and even some of the
old ones are coming back.
The announcement that Mrs. Jessica
De Wolf is to be in st. Paul this winter
is especially gratifying, not only be-
cause of her beautiful voice, but be-
cause of the breadth of her art and Of
her keen and stimulating interest in all
things musical. While foreign concert
work will absorb most of her time, st.
Paul will stand a much better chance
of hearing her sing than 1t did last
year, when she made New York city
her headquarters

of course, the College of Music which
