reason he strongly advises them to adhere to the sort of
breakfasts he recommends, and join the ladies in their
abstemiousness and self-denial.
All meat will therefore be excluded from the Bills of
Fare given for the fair sex, and gentlemen who come under
the above-named categories. Bread, of all sorts, buns,
jams, fruits, and table requisites must be supplied in the
same manner as for large parties in Chapter I., which it
would be mere repetition to give again.

P.S. — If any lady objects to the Author’s remarks on
her self-denial, or to be classified with such very proper
classes of men, or would prefer a more substantial meal, let
her refer to Chapter III., where he trusts she may find
what she requires.
The Author does not intend to give so many “ Bills of
Fare” in this and the following chapters as in the preceding
one ; he thinks that if he gives a certain number of Bills of
Fare, the cook will be able to follow the example given,
making selections from Breakfasts in previous chapter.

BREAKFASTS FOR PEOPLE OF ROBUST CONSTITUTION,

To such fortunate classes the Author can only say, it
matters little what they eat or drink, if their digestion is
as good as their appetites ; he strongly recommends them,
however, to drink tea, coffee, or cocoa, and not claret or
beer.
The Author has always heard that the late Sir Tatton
Sykes frequently breakfasted on apple tarV^ washed
down by “home-brewed ale.” Chacun d son goilt. He
doubts very much if it was frequently, if there is any truth
in the legend at all ; and although he feels the greatest
respect for the memory of this most worthy and ex-
cellent of baronets, he has not put such a Bill of Fare
amongst his menus. Any one caring to try such a break-
fast must cater for himself.
