DAINTY MENU FOR BREAKFAST
First Meal Of the Day Is OF Consid-
cradle Importance to All the
Family.

The question of the breakfast menu
depends upon the individual taste.
The fruit should not be too cold. The
fruits in season should naturally be
served. If the tray is of ample size
small compete filled with cherries
and currants arranged together on
shaved ice is attractive. Oranges
should never be sent up on a tray I'M
prepared Hot toast, preferably I'M
buttered, seems to be growing in favor
for breakfast. though other hot breads
are frequently served.
Popovers and crisp corn mullins are
excellent for breakfast if they can be
served as soon as baked, and with
them there should be marmalade of
some variety. 1t is wise plan to see
that the tray Is always supplied with
little jar of jam or marmalade.

DIDN'T WISH TO KNOW HIM

David Garrick, the greatest Eng

living in the country who was an
idolatrous admirer of his genius, says
George Pomeroy Goodale. A rich
neighbor, a grocer, being about to
visit London, this brother insisted on
his taking a letter of introduction to
the actor. Not being able to make
up his mind to visit the great Davy
the first day of his stay in London,
the grocer went to the theater in the
evening and saw Garrick in the char
acter of Abel Drugger, the disrepu-
table protagonist of Ben Jonson's
"The Tobacconist." On his return
home the country brother eagerly
inquired respecting the visit he had
been anxious to bring about.
"Why, Mr.. Garrick," was the in

JOKE ON THE GERMANS.

In the Electrical World there is
a story of how the Germans supplied
the allies with electricity for several
months without being aware of the
fact. When the Germans first occu-
pied Lille, while the allied troops
held possession of Armentieres near
by, the sOldier-engineers of the kali
ser's army discovered the abandoned
Lille electric lighting plant, and, ac-
cording to the story told by a British
soldier in a letter home, shortly had
the generators running and the town
again lighted by electricity. 1t was
some months, however, before the
Germans discovered that the Lille
lighting system was also connected
with Armentieres, and that a good
share of the energy generated inside
the Teuton lines was being used to
light the allies quarters and trDor
ents in the neighboring city.
