OYSTERS IN GONDOLA. 2. CRANBERRY STARS. 3. CHEESE DATES. 4. GINGER TANGS. 5. RED-APPLE SALAD. 6. CHRISTMAS WASSAIL. OYSTERS IN GONDOLA Take a fresh loaf of bakers bread,—Vienna loaf in shape is best,— Slice off the middle top, and scoop,Leaving a crusty, boat-shaped nest. When the inside is scooped out smooth,Butter the loaf inside and out, Then brown in oven, while you drainAnd wash the oysters well about. With salt and pepper season well, Some butter add, or white cream sauce, Pour all in loaf and set in pan;Replace the crusty lid across. When you the gondola have bakedThree quarters of an hour, or less, Stand celery stalks for gondoliersAnd serve in a sea of watercress. If individual boats you d like,Then take the long French roll And treat just as you would the loaf,And guests will find them droll. CRANBERRY STARS One quart of firm, red cranberriesIn one half-pint of water boil; Ten minutes
