OYSTER SEASON HERE
SOME METHODS OF PREPARING
THIS GENERAL FAVoRITE.
Better Than Serving Raw, stewed e.r
Fried-ka bobs May 81 Recon-
understandable With Oys-
ters-Excellent Pan Roast.
BY Ida AMEs WILLIS.

No true oyster lover fails in appre-
citation OF the merits of the raw oys-
| ter, served without the accompani.
ment OF coarse vinegar and peppery
| sauces. If one must resort to such
! condiments to enable one to eat the
delicate monster uncooked, then ones
| palate lacks discrimination and deli
cacy Here are four Of the best recipes
known:
kabobs.-Remove the gills and mus
cular part from large oysters. Dip
each in melted butter, then in sea
soned dry bread crumbs. String six
oysters, alternating with them strips
OF sliced bacon cut same size. on a
small silver or aluminium skewer.
Lay these in frying basket and i'm
merse in deep, hot fat, frying a nice
brown. Serve with little lemon and
tender, crisp celery.
Scrambled Eggs, With Oysters
Put a piece of butter in your omelet
pan, and when melted, add as many
eggs as required and a tablespoonful
OF cream to each egg; scramble. and
before the eggs are cooked add the
oysters, well drained and small sized:
a seasoning of salt and pepper and
little minced parsley. or instead Of the
parsley add little celery salt. Cook
until the edges of the oysters curl,
then remove at once from the fire and
turn onto a heated platter.
Southern Pan Roast-The largest
and finest oysters should be used for
this purpose. Drain them we'll and
heat in a deep frying pan. with a gen.
erous lump of butter melted. Cover
the pan and shake constantly over
hot fire. Have ready a dish we'll but
tered and garnished with parsley and
lemon. When the oysters are brown.
turn out on the dish, add salt and dust
OF pepper and pour over the oysters a
little melted hot butter, mixed with
teaspoorful of minced parsley.
Oyster Salad-Cook the oysters in
their own liquor until they are plump
and gills ruffie. Drain and season
with salt and pepper and set in ice
chest to cool For 100 large oysters
take two heads of lettuce. chill and ar
range the leaves in your salad bowl
and turn the oysters into the center
Of the lettuce heads, having cut out
the coarse stems. Mince a few olives
or capers and sprinkle over the oys-
ters and serve mayonnaise dressing
with the salad If you have some good
homemade celery vinegar. use it in
making the mayonnaise for your oys-
ter salad

On this lay the liver, sprinkle with

How TO Cook Endiues.

The following is an excellent French
way of cooking the endives: Boil the
leaves in lots of salt and water; when
tender, pour the whole thing into a
large seive, and, as soon as the hot
water has drained away, put the sieve
under a tap and let cold water run on
1t for a few minutes. After the cold
