For each person allow about five small oysters, which should be drained, washed in cold water and carefully drained again, then set in a very cold place. At serving time dispose in claret glasses. Pour over each two teaspoons of sauce made by combining two tablespoons of Harvey sauce, four tablespoons of tomato catsup, one teaspoon of pepper sauce, one-half teaspoon of salt, and two tablespoons of lemon juice.

If preferred, this may be served in cups made of small, firm tomatoes; when so served, place each tomato on a pretty lettuce leaf, or in a nest made of head lettuce, or garnish with parsley.
