Anyone who loves Oysters will be very happy with this; particularly for a Sunday Brunch! But first let’s get to the history of Oysters which is so_ fascinating, 'They have for years inspired painters and epicures, especially the Dutch Masters. ..There, is an early,..picT- ture of the Birth of Christ in which one. of those looking on is an Oyster seller. Hector BoH- tho says in his book The Glorious Oyster; \The story of its eccen tricities alone would make a book! Portugese Oysters are born either male or female, and stay that way. The English ones do not seem to be able to make up their minds, for they change their - sex frequently during the years; while the American Oys ters are born bi-sexual but soon rate themselves male or female and remain that way to the end.” Thau .Lillian .LaudReth Cbristan- sen says in her wonder^i book The Instant. Epicure; “The Oys ter, unless disturbed by storm or war, or agencies beyond its control, grows, lives, loves, re produces, eats, makes pearls and dies on a .site' or bed which it adopts when it is about three weeks old. If it doesn’t like the climate or its neighbors that is to'o bad. Even the moment of adopting its place in life is large ly storms and tide. The whole thing Is a little, sad. There are no Oyster migrations. They can’t dance or visit; they can’t ever get away if they settled in a poor neighborhood!” The early settlers were so fond of them that \by 1775 the natural beds of Cape Cod were exhausted” to such an ex tent that they had to pass laws to protect them. Speaking of paintings thcer is a famous one called \The First Day of - Oys ters’,’. painted in 1838. It was sup posed to be very lucky to eat them as soon as they appeared in the market. It “could eat them every day of the year, particu larly this truly . wonderful way. Th^y ‘are. pictured, in Woman’s Day“F:hcyolopedia, Vol. 8, page 1289. Please look at tliem!

He sticks his ■ head out of his home in the ground and looks around. ■ ,■ - .. It he sees his shadow he crawls back into bis hole and this is. supposed to mean that there will be six more weeks of winter ! weather. „ ■ ■ . If he doesn’t see his shadow, he stays out of his hole, and this is supposed to mean that spring weather soon wiU eoriie. Well; what about this? : Not much. Only superstitious people believe this stoiy. Science has not confirmed this. So is seems that on the whole, the Weather jBuieau is more re liable than the average ground hog. • • ■ ' ‘ ; w ■ ' \ - • With the battle cry \Let’s Go Mets’’ ringing in our eaifs; the.- lovely Frau and I joined the Long Irtahd Boosters Of the New^:Y^^^ Mets at the Garden City Hotel, Monday night, January .28,^.1908.

Let’s face it, the Mets have no place to go but up, and those that were present Monday night, after listening to the new mem bers of the team and some of the returning veterans,- feel as 1 do— that they are going way up! They may not win the pennant, but I think Gil Hodges is going to get the best out of the potential stars such as Kranepool, Swobody, Jones, Shamsky, Agee and Har- relson.
