In every way possible. A tired and
worn out mother is about the most de-
pressing thing the house can hold. Now
in the matter of breakfast alone No one
family's methods can be the standard
for anothers. In one home there may be
business people who have to get of early
to business. while In another its inmates
may have to be up late at night and
therefore require the mornings sleep.
In one home there are adults each with
definite ideas as to what they wish for
the mornings meal, and in another chill
dren whose special needs are to be con-
sidered for them. There are old people
in a third family and invalids in a fourth.
SO that IT is not wise to lay down any
hard and fast laws about the time for
constituents of breakfast This much is
certain, however. that everywhere
breakfasts are lighter than they used to
be. In many homes coffee and rolls or
toast seem to fill the breakfast bill, but
as general rule. this would seem to be
insufficient for workers. In one home.
where there are paying guests. the mis-
tress Of the house solves the problem or
suiting varying tastes and varying hours
for breakfast by sending each one up on
tray at the hour designated by the
individual to be served. The menu may
include fruit, a freshly cooked cereal or
one of the already prepared breakfast
foods, rolls or toast, egg boiled to suit
and tea, cocoa or coffee. This method
has been found most satisfactory by her
guests and has enabled her to get along
with much less service than she would
otherwise be forced to have. A Japanese
boy in this way is able to keep the house
in order and do all the waiting on the
! guests. the owner simply cooking the
breakfast. In this instance, breakfast
is the only meal served in the house. In
many homes the tablecloth appears only
at dinner, breakfast and luncheon being
served on the bare tables, with doilies or
runners, which are SO much easier to
