DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.
Wooden Lambrequins Fashioned on
the Style of the Old Grill. T.,
ny DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.

In my last article We talked about
modern grills for doorways. and today
want to tell of another use to which
they may be put. -
That these new grills have a mes
sage cannot be denied. We should
lend an ear to it, and in doing SO we
will discover. many uses for them. So.
Take. for, instance, today's illustra-
ton showing one used as a lambre-
quin. For room decorated in a mod
ern tone what could be more charm
ing? Over plain blue draperies q
painted wooden design Of blues, yei-
lows, rose and lavender would strike
. harmonious note, and with q wis.
taria material a green and black lam
brequin would be most decorative.
The possibilities Of introducing coiOr
into an interior through such a me-
dium are manifold. Often a rooms di-
mensions are too limited to allow the
use of figured draperies, and yet it Is
desired to have some color design IN
that part of the room. A wooden lam
and will undoubtedly save the day.
Where do they come from? you ask.
II the shops IN your locality do not
carry them call in the local carpenter
and see what he can do, or II you
have some youthful friend familiar
with the uses OF the jig-saw give him
the fun Of copying q design you have
selected and color it yourself.

Oysters Delicious.

English cookery books usually in.
form one that Americans are noted
for the variety Of ways they have for
serving oysters. While oysters are
usually served raw on the half shell.
We have numerous ways Of cooking
are some worth trying:
Oyster Fritters.-Wash well in
their own liquor one dozen oysters.
Chop them little with q silver knife
and sprinkle in q cup of -four. two
well-beaten eggs, a teaspoon OF bak-
Drop the batter by spoonfuls into hot
fat, deep enough to float them. and
fry q golden brown on both sides.
Drain them on soft brown paper and
keep hot until all are done: Garnish
with parsley and serve with lemon,
butter and minced butter.
Oyster Consomme.-Wash one pint
Of oysters and reserve soft portions.
Chop tough portions. add one-half
cup Of cold water, bring to the boil
ing point and let simmer twenty-five
minutes. Strain through double
thickness Of cheesecloth and add four
cups Of chicken stock: Season with
salt and cayenne and add one-half
cup Of thin cream and the soft parts
of oysters cooked until plump.
Fried oysters with Bacon.-Twen-
ty-four large oysters; twenty-four
thin slices of bacon. Dry the Oys-
ters on q napkin and carefully roll
up each oyster in slice of bacon
and fasten the ends with a wooden
toothpick. Use only the blazer that
fits on the six-inch electric stove.
Turn the current on and when very
hot put in the oysters and bacon.
Just as soon AZ they begin to fry
turn the current to medium heat and
allow the oysters to cook until nicely
Drowned on all sides. Serve with
nlain lettuce or watefcfes8 salad.

Food Appetizers.

Not long ago we thought Of raw
oysters on tho half shell or oyster cock
tail or clans a. Q substitute for the
indispensable iirst course OF every formal
luncheon or dinner. Then the fashion
place Of oysters at luncheons. Like
wise We borrowed the idea of serving
hors d'oeuvres from the French and
sometimes dispensed with the oysters
in place OF some such appetizer.
Now we might speak Of the custom
Of beginning luncheons and dinners with
some unsweetened or only slightly
sweetened fruit concoction as q pecu-
liarly strong note in American cookery.
And Of course 1t has the indorsement
Of dieticians and doctors who are urg-
ing US all the time to make a larger
place for fruit in our diets.
You will like orange and mint cup;
To make this select firm oranges and
remove the pulp without squeezing out
the Juice any more than is necessary.
Add to this lemon Juice in the propor-
ton OF y scant tablespoonful to two cups
Of the orange pulp. To this add very
ready q little chopped mint leaf and
q spray OF mint for every cup. Place
the orange mixture in sherbet cups,
sprinkle over each little Of the chopped
mint and garnish each with a spray OF
the mint.
Grapefruit. oranges and grapes can
be mixed In the form Of fruit cocktails.
and varied by the addition Of different
fiavorings, or different proportions. they
are q never.faiiing source Of delicious
desserts. Grapefruit and orange, in
equal proportion. sweetened and favored
with sherry. port or the Juice from
maraSchino or orange, banana and
grapefruit, halved and seeded grapes
added to orange and grapefruit pulp
all these combinations are good. And
the addition Of little canned pineapple
or canned cherries to any Of them makes
q welcome variation.
