Oysters
How to Cook and Serve Them
BY MARY J. Stafford.

Perhaps there is no one article of
people as the oyster. and many are the
recipes for cooking them. The follow
ing have been gathered from various
quarters; some are used in the south,
some have come from across the sea,
and among them one or more will
doubtless be new to nearly all the
housekeepers who read this. The oval
mass, as most people know, contains
the sac of the stomach and the hard
white muscle that closes the shell.
This is fringed with the soft gills and
mantle, all together being called the
beard. To this muscle scales of the lin
ing of the shell often cling, and these
splinters should be carefully removed,
sfor they are always disagreeable, and
sometimes dangerous. Good cooks fire.
auently cut out the hard muscle, leav-
mig only the fringe, thus rendering the
dish more palatable. But this cannot
oe done with either griIled or raw oys-
tiers, nor in any form of serving in
which the shape of the oyster is to be
seen, as when fried, etc.
OYSTERS IN iSKEwERs.
Take three dozen fine large oysters,
drain the liquor from them and put it
IN saucepan with a spoonful of but
ter and one of flour, some parsley and
mushrooms. Thicker with the yolk of
an egg. Stew the oysters a few min
utes in the mixture, but do not let
it boil. Have ready some mushrooms
cut in slices. With small silvered
sl1ewers. after covering them with
the oysters and mushrooms alternate
", dip into the sauce. then into bread
crumbs, then in beaten egg and crumbs
again. and fry in deep boiling hot lard
until they are a golden brown. Serve
on the Skewers with the sauce-it is
called sauce d'attelets-poured over.

set in a very hot oven until the edges
OF the oysters curl little. This is a

convalescent.

spoonfuls of butter and flour add the
oyster liquor and half a glass of wine,

OYSTERS IN JELLY.
This is a very pretty substitute for
the raw oysters served in the half

before the soup, and is used for that
purpose.

cold, and pour the aspic Jelly so as
to fill each plate as full as possible.

In the Statesman of the 18th of

better aware of it's misleading fea-

said. Every often story half told
