tions. The meal should Do thought out 60 that Q minimum Of time will be required in It's preparation, and plenty of time be allowed for serving and eating. Eating against time is no aid to digestion and may cause serious trouble, particularly for children.
 The age, food habits and aetivi- ties of each person have much to do with the type for breakfast re- quired. Weather conditions also ins Auence the menu.
 With the coming of spring, pane cakes lose some of their popularity authough they still taste pretty good on raw spring mornings. Heavy cereals and hot mullins can Do replaced by lighter cereals and toast. Rice with butter and cinna- mon or sugar and cream makes Q very satisfactory cereal for an oc- casionai breakfast. Eggs are spec. iaily suited to tho spring breakfast, since they arc less expensive ct this season.
 Fresh fish, are plentiful during the spring months and are quick ly cooked. Smoked and salted fish always are available and are gavory and appetising.
 Fruits Taken For Granted
 Most households take fruit for granted on the breakfast menu these days, SO that tho homemaker usually serves 1t ot please individual tastes.
 The early spring breakfast can be given interest by the introduce ton of certain salad vegetables. Curly endive served with crisp broiled bacon, water cress with cured or fresh fish, spinach with poached egg, sliced tomatoes with crisp toast and bacon, breakfast darishes and carrot straws are c few suggestions for serving vege' tables for breakfast.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Children like their parents to look pretty. Pretty" means attractive Of course.
 A mother said, T have found that Kenny and Jean are much better children when they come home from school and find me dressed. And on days when I'm cleaning and have my head tied up they are ct their worst. It Is the same on wash day when I have to let the house go. If the kitchen is in confusion and the beds aren't made they are as cross as bears. But let them come in on afternoons when the house is immaculate, and perhaps I've just had Q wave and my best dress on, and they are per- feet lambs. Since I have discovered how they react to peace and order, nearly break my neck to have things in some sort of shape when they come home"
 could end right here because 1t Is sermon enough. I am sure no ono has to ponder the why's and wherefore's of the psychology be- hind her words.
 All children are grown-ups in their responses to surroundings. It is Q mistake to think that nothing matters to them. Actually they are more sensitive to environment than their elders, because they notice de- tails that we miss.
 There is another reason, too. Tho child knows very well through experience that no jubilee spirit pervades Q house that is perennially torn up. Mothers own temper Is likely to be touchy when there Is 0 big Job on hand. Besides she is al- ways more reasonable when she knows she looks well. How quick they are to figure 1t out.
 In an old volume on pedagogy, long before psychology became a household word, there was this sen- tence advising teachers. "On Mor- days and dark days, try to avoid black clothes. A bright dress or scarf will strengthen authority be- cause colors are encouraging to children" I think I have the words almost exactly as they were written because, in oil the dry rigamarolo we had to learn that ono paragraph stood out like Q jewel.
 It Is impossible to have the house one eternal blue heaven: nd wand empties the ash trays or makes the beds while mother is sitting neatly coiffed and gowned, embroidering birds on c frame. But 1t never hurts to keep Q truth in mind, that there arc certain moments when one seems to havo more power with tho family; times when home machinery seems to run on oiled wheels.
 Tho house that is never settled, the parent who discounts person- al appearance, work that obstructs It's own path, oil have on infiu- ence on content and obedience. Let the children help to achieve pre- oIous order.
