ORANGES

May be put on whole in fruit-baskets, or the skin be cut in eighths

half way down, separated from the fruit and curled inward, showing half

the orange white, the other yellow. Or, pass a sharp knife lightly

around the fruit, midway between the stem and blossom end, cutting

through the rind only. Slip the smooth curved handle of a teaspoon

carefully between the peel and body of the orange, and gently work it

all around until both upper and lower halves are free, except at stem

and blossom. Turn the rind, without tearing it, inside out, making a

white cup at each end—the round white fruit between them.
