On Sunday when Father does not
go to the Office. and the children do
not go to school. the breakfast scene
is more tranquil - also less centered

manners instead.
The fact that breakfast is always
the least formal meal - eaten at the
time of day which more than any
other belongs to the children - does
not mean that It IS time to overlook
table manners! On the contrary. if
carelessness IS to be overlooked at any
