Dainty Morsels the Be*t Way.
Old Style Uoust.—Pnt one pint of
oysters In a deep tlu Season with
salt, cayenne and a teaspoonful of
finely chopped onion. Place a thin
allce of bacon on each oyster, sprinkle
grated Parmesan cheese over the top
and bake. Garnish with parsley and
serve with slices of lemon.
Panned Oysters.—Put a tablespoon
ful of butter in a covered saucepan
with salt and pepper to taste. When
hot add a pint of washed :ud draiued
oysters, cover closely an<l shake the
pan to keep tliein from slicking. Cook
about three minutes or until plump.
Serve on too-* ted bread or crackers.
Here U a iiple recipe for fried oys

ing: Take a pint of large oysters and
cover with rolled cracker crumbs sea
soned with salt and pepper. I.et them
stand half an hour aud then roll again

lard or butter.
There must be plenty of butter for
scalloped oysters, and many house
keepers prefer bread to cracker
crumbs, as they are less soggy when
cooked. The quick oven Is one of the
essentials for the success of this dish.
A. quart of oysters put In liyors In
baking dish, alternating will) dry
bread or cracker crumbs, an 1 season

ed oyster liquor and sufficient milk to
moisten. Cover top with crumbs aud
