PIGS IN BLANKETS. — Choose large oysters, season with pep- per and salt; wrap each one in a slice of bacon cut very thin, and fasten with a wooden toothpick. Cook in a hot frying=pan just long enough to crisp the bacon. Have small pieces of toast ready, put each "pig" on one, without removing the skewer; serve at once. RAW OYSTERS — In cold weather these are much better to lie a short time in warm salted water; this takes the chill from the juice of the oyster, and they are more agreeable than when very cold, as they will be in winter. They may be eaten with just salt, pepper
