Three Square Meals q Day

| TIT WAS mere man who planted ] himself in front of my desk the i U other day and blandly said: | I wish you'd suggest something for ] a fellow to eat for luncheon" You mean for you to eat or me?" I asked placidly.
 "Oh-er-for me-" he said, sheepish- ly, as if he were afraid that I had misconstrued his remark into an invi- tation for luncheon
 'I couldn't possibly do that" I re- marked blandly, keeping right ahead with my work, in which l was very much interested.
 And why not?" he interposed.
 Stopping for the moment and look ing him straight in the face, I said: Merely this: Years ago I learned never to suggest things for a man to eat. He is going to eat what he wants to after all, and no amount of sug- gestion ever changes him one inch. whenever l go to dinner with my men friends l am asked what 1 will have 10 eat and after enumerating all the things just dote on the answe- comes very neatly:
 well. suppose we have so and so l Ike that so much, and you eat any thing. don't your So that taught me my lesson"
 Ihen you aren't going to help oat anu tell me what you'd eat TOT luncheon today if you had to go to the club. or to a cafe, or to q hote1?" 'o
 Well. then-7-eat lobster"
 Lobster before 10 o'clock at night" gasped the Mere Man Why. it's like compliment. it should never be served before dinner"
 ate it once in New York for breakfast. and it was delicious.p I re- piled.
 No wonder women have indiges- ton and headaches and everything friend my They don't have things the mat ter With them any more than men," promptly replied.
 NOW, my dear lady, I have three sisters said the Mere Man. "and Know about those things. have never seen girls eat as imprudently as they do. They mince on things for breakfast. beginning with fruit. a cereal, and toast. potatoes. coffee and cakes and syrup, and say they haven't eaten any breakfast at all. Then about 10 o'clock you will see them with dish of preserves and butter and h-cod and probably glass of lemonade or ice tea. good meal for anybody"
 well. l wouldn't be the Mir Smarty that told if I were you" l said, sar- castically.
 Just wait. At lunch they eat all sorts of sweets and iced drinks. lemon ade, clinkety -clink, ginger ale, and anything else handy. No sooner is luncheon served than they can be seen munching on a box of chocolates or fruit of some kind. Then, when they are out in the auto in the afternoon they stop downtown for a drink of some sort and when they get back home they have tea al o'clock, with sandwiches and cakes, and up to o'clock, before dinner is ever served they have eaten nearly half a dozen meals"
 Well, they don't talk about 1t, to say the least,' I announced
 No. but they eat more than men, that you will agree" responded the Mere Man.
