Oyster Pan and Cooked a la Crouton By MRS. M. A. WILSON (CovvHoM. ISlO.bv Mrs. St. A. triljeti. THE oyster is one of our mo&t "l.mnrrntie luxuries! it is ill VCfV high favor in our most luxurious I restaurants, and yet it is nciu in equal- esteem in our most moJerate prieed lunch rooms. Oysters are sold both in and out of the shell, fresh and canned, and they may be eaten and cooked in almost every receivable way. ' Amone the best-known varieties are the blue point, Buzzard Hays, Capo Cods, Lynnhavens, Maurice Rivers, Rockaways, saddle rocks, sea tags, Shrewsbcrrys and cotuits and Oak Creeks. Many of these titles have really lost their real signifi cance by trade misuses. Blue points, for 'example, is often, though incor rectly, applied to all small oysters, irrespective of their source. The oyster season opens in September and continues on until May. Three sizes are usually recog nized by the trade half shells, the mallest culls, the medium size and the box, which is the largest. True oystey lovers really prefer the large Tornnhavens and others on the deep shell. The epicure delights in eating raw ('oysters: and while this satisfies his y- 'appetite, it is also understood that the raw oyster virtually is assimi lated without taxing the digestion. Oysters may be found in nlr.iost all parts of the civilized world, each locality having its own special species. 'V--lt is a universal custom to omit If! the ovster from the bill of faro dur ing the months of May, June, July and August. Wo have in their places the salt oyster and the clam. , Oysters may be served on either the deep or flat shell, on a bed of finely crushed ice, with a slice of lemon, Worcestershire sauce, satsup, horseradish or tabasco sauce.
