Delicious Oyster Dishes.'
Oyster South -Oyster soup. is a
good lunchebn soup, especially sat-
isfactory for school children. There
are several ways of varying it to
make it ,'tempting. The first re-
quisite for good oyster soup of any
sort is to cook the oysters only long
enough to snake them plump.
Longer, cooking toughens them.
This is one method of making oy-
ster soup:Wash a quart of oysters
and strain the liquid in which they
came through a piece of cheese-
cloth. Then boil it, skim it and add
the oysters to it When the , oy-
sters are ruffled and plump take it.
from the fire, add.a pint of hot
milk, well -seasoned with salt and
pepper, and a, little butter, and
serve immediately. Vary this soup
by addling two tablespoonfuls of
chopped celery to the hot milk, or
a teaspoonful of chopped onion or
parsley, or -ti tablespoonful finely
grated cheese. Sometimes thicken
it with a tablespoonful of butter
and a tablespoonful of flour robbed'
together, Sometimes.add a few oy-
ster crackers when you mix the oy-;
eters and hot milk.
Another Lunch Dish, -Oyster loaf
is another s'atisfyingluncheot dish.
To make it take off, the top crust
from a loaf of bread - and scoop out
the'soft crumb part from the iii -
side, leaving a wall at the sides and
bottom three-quarters of an innch
thick. Dry the middle of the bread
and crumb it, and acid it to two
tablespoonfuls of melted butter.
Make a cream sauce from three
'tablespoonfuls of butter, two of
flour and half ' a cupful of milk.
Scald a quart of oysters in their
own liquid and' drain them and fill
the bread ease with the oysters' and
cream sauce and crumbs in alter-
