In appreciation of the many favorable press notices
and high editorial comment given to my previous ef-
forts in the compilation of books on suggestions for
entertaining and in the publication of my magazine,
What To Eat, this book on "Breakfasts and Teas,"
is inscribed. Full well I realize the difficulties under
which most Women Editors labor in their duty of
suggesting new ideas for entertaining, and I hold a
sincere appreciation for the good they perform in ele-
vating the women of our country to a higher plain of
civilization. When the woman is done with the
school room and finds herself in the social whirl it is
then she begins to see that she has another and very
important course of learning to acquire and forthwith
she submits herself to the tutorage of the editor of the
woman's page. No school teacher of the world has
such a large class to instruct as this woman editor.
Her pupils are numbered by the thousands and tens
of thousands and hundreds of thousands. The knowl-
edge she must impart is not of the kind that has been
set down by past generations and which once learned
suffices as a supply for all future dispensations. It is
a knowledge of the day, which is constantly changing
and which must be gleaned each day for the lessons
of the morrow. This little book embraces the latest
information on the title it bears, and all herein con-
tained, that may be of help to the woman editor, she
is welcome to use if she will comply with the pub-
lisher's rule of giving the proper credit to the volume.
Publisher's Announcement.
"Breakfast and Teas" is a companion book to that
most interesting and helpful series of social works com-
piled by Paul Pierce, publisher of What To Eat, the
National Food Magazine, and the world's authority
on all problems pertaining to the drawing room and the
table. The other books are "Dinners and Luncheons,"
"Parties and Entertainments," "Suppers," and "Wed-
dings and Wedding Celebrations." The contents of
each volume are selected with especial regard for the
extent of their helpfulness for the perplexed hostess.
The instructions that are given will afford suggestions
for all the different kinds of social functions the host
or hostess ever will have occasion to give or to attend,
and therefore all the volumes combined will furnish a
veritable library for the person who entertains or who
attends entertainments, and no person with a regard
for correct social forms should fail to be supplied with
all five of the books. In the directions special attention
is given to the suggestions afforded for other kinds of
entertainments, so that in each entertainment described
the reader will find ideas for a dozen or more enter-
tainments of a similar nature.
CONTENTS
Chapter I. Breakfasts at High Noon — Typical
Breakfast Menu — Breakfast Decorations — Two
Bride-Elect Breakfasts — Silver Wedding Day
