"But, Mary, why do you skip all the breakfasts and luncheons? I am quite as capable of making glaring mistakes there as in dinners. If you don't tell me what to have, I shall certainly lunch on cold meat, and have two eggs apiece every morning in the week—also grapefruit!"
"What a frightful threat! Well, then, here are a few breakfasts, just to start you off comfortably:"
Spring
1. Poached eggs on toast; muffins; coffee.
2. Boiled rice and raisins, with cream; milk toast; coffee.
3. Codfish croquettes; pop-overs; coffee, toast, orange marmalade.
Summer
1. Cold oatmeal with berries; coffee and toast.
2. Scrambled eggs; corn bread; coffee.
