Some OYSTER Hints.

All styles of PANIED, creamed OF
stewed oysters should be cooked over
an open fire or live steam, because
they should start to cook the moment
the heat strikes the pan or chafing
dish and continue at forced rate I'M
til finished.
The cooking Of oysters can be great
ly improved by the use Of the chafing
dish instead of the saucepan in con-
nection with the recipes where the
latter is mentioned.
oysters most easily secured and
mostly desired are Saddle Rocks,
Rocks, Rockaways, Lynn Hagen Bays,
Shrewsburys, Blue Points, Cotuits,
Lynnhavens, Cape Gods, Buzzards

rinse It in clear cold water and put 1t

matter has been loosened, rinse, and
put it, skin side down, to cook in cold
water, having rack or plate in the
bottom of the boiler to prevent scorch-
ing. Bring the ham to brisk boil.
then throw in pint OF cold water
and let 1t stand two or three minutes;
skim off the scum, then throw into the
pot dozen whole cloves, as many
allspice and black peppercorns, a
small pod of red pepper, slit length
wise, and a blade Of mace. Watch
closely, and when boiling begins lessen
the heat so that there will be bare
simmering. The water must stand
two inches above the meat-fin the
boiler up as 1t wastes away Keep on
the lid, but loosely, and let the ham
simmer until It is very tender-the
time depends upon the age, weight
and hardness Of the ham. When the
haunch bone shows little through
the meat the ham is likely to be done.
Let 1t cool in the water In which 1t
was boiled, take It out, drain well and

columns sweeping up the slopes OF the

Chocolate Pancakes.

This makes a delicious dessert for
luncheon and one that is quickly pre-
pared: Mix together two eggs, yolks
and whites, with two heaping table,
spoonfuls of sweetened chocolate that
has been grated (if unsweetened brand
is used, then the mixture must be
sweetened to taste), half cupful OF
milk. half cupful of -four. Beat all to-
gether well. Fry like ordinary pan

them, lay on a hot platter. sprinkle

One feature Of urban life that ever
gave him a thrill. A battalion OF the
12Sth, which he had ordered that after
noon to the very garrison at South La
Tir that he had once commanded, was
marching through the main avenue.
Youths all, of twenty-one or two, they
were in q muddy-grayish uniform
which was the color of the plain as
seen from the veranda Of the Galland
house. Where these came from were
other boys growing up to take their
places. The mothers Of the nation
were doing their duty. All the land
was a breedingground for the divi-
dends of Hedworth Westerling.
At the far side of the park he saw
another kind of dividend-another
group OF marching men. These were
not in uniform. They we're the unem-
ployed. Many were middle-aged, with
worn, tired faces. Beside the flag OF
the country at the head OF the process
