Scalloped Oysters

Carefully wash and look over I quart of oysters, removing all particles of shell, etc.

Add 1 c each cracker and breadcrumbs to 1/2 c melted butter and mix well; sprinkle the bottom of a buttered baking dish with crumbs, then place on these a layer of cleaned oysters, and dust with salt and pepper. Add alternately layers of crumbs and oysters, having the top layer crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven 15 or 20 m. A shallow dish should be selected for oysters, so that they may be quickly heated and cooked, as long cooking at high temperature toughens the oysters and destroys their delicate flavor.

Preparing The Meal

About 1/2 h before suppertime wash the oysters and prepare them for scalloping. While baking cut the brown bread, open a can of cherries and empty into a fruit dish; put some oatmeal macaroons on a plate and place all on the table. Make the tea and serve the supper.
