The eleven o'clock breakfast is a sub

known as "breakfast dishes in northern
countries, but hardly distinguishable
from dinner exceptin the absence Of soup

choice of roast meats. But in all its
variety and abundance one recognizes
carclessness, and lack of culinary skill

made to seem narrower than it really
is. This is especially conspicuous in the
treatment of vegetables. Yamo, plan
rains, and various other things are boiled
together and served in pile on huge

helps himself to what he prefers. The
