The Breakfast Table.

Not many years ago breakfast in
most American homes was almost as
formal a meal as dinner, and it was
customary then for the entire house
hold to assemble in the morning and
adjourn to the breakfast taole al
the same time: Now, however. break
fast-for convenience sake-has come
to be a movable feast, and whereas
Lii would be objectionable for a guest
to arrive late for dinner when 1t was
ayoidable, and inconsiderate for
member Of the family to drift in 10
dinner with capricious irregularity.
no hostess or housewife ought to ex-
pect very great punctuality ABOUT
breakfast.
Among persons who entertain ex-
tensiveiy and gather their friends
frequently under their roofs at house
pariies there is usually no stated
breakfast hour. Breakfast is ordi-
narily served between certain definite
hours and one breakfasts pretty much
when one chooses. If guest has TO
catch an early train or for any other
reason needs to rise early he makes
that fact known and a specially early
breakfast is served without in any
way altering the breakfast time 1or
the rest of the family. Where there
were other guests the hostess woula
not feel constrained to join.her guest
at the early hour
when YOU entertain single guest
in a home of simple arrangement II
is usual for the guest to inquire as
to the breakfast hour. The hos!ess
an a rule states the hour at Whicn l!
ia necyessary to begin breakfast, out
mrres her guest not to feel con-
strained to appear at that time. -

Mother Bears heels. Moreover they
left on the opposite side from where
Boxer sought safety. OF course they
ran IN the opposite direction.
Now, Mother Bear is big. and the

them could see her even among the
bushes. Being very angry they fol-
