OYSTERS IN MANY WAYS

In the early sixties a restauranteur
named Pettis, of Rhode Island, made
for himself an almost International rep
utation by serving an oyster dish that
he called a blazer" The recipe is as
ta'tows- In the blazer OF the chahng
dish place a Ulnt Of freshly opened oys-
tiers. a small piece of butter, the re-
quisite amount of salt and plenty OF
pepper. At one side have a cupful OF
finely rolled cracker crumbs Place
the pan over the fire, and when the
oysters have commenced TO curl. stir
iu The cracker crumbs until all the
oyster juice has been absorbed and the
crumbs are well soaked At that mo-
ment stir I'm a WeIl-beaten eEg. let the
mixture cook Tor another minute, and
then eat 70 while il Is blazing hot

with their juice. and paprika. celery
salt, common salt. a squeeze" of lemon
juice, and half teaspoOnful of rich
boulliOu. Cook the oysters until they
have commenced TO curl and then serve
them on squares Of buttered thin toast.
Another unique method of serving
oysters IS TO brOn them with bacon.
To accomplish this one must first Sc
cure a long piece OF fairly strong wire.
and upon this must be threaded. first
large freshiy-opened Oys-er, and then
81 long, thinlg-cut slice III bacon, and
SO on. Hold THE wire then over the
