Signed CHAPTER XI SERVING A FAMILY BREAKFAST Can you answer these questions ? If not, look for the answers as you study this chapter. 1.

In serving a meal family style, are foods separated into individual portions in the kitchen or at the dining table ? What accomplishment can every girl have? We admire the person who plays the piano artistically. We admire the person who can read or tell a story well. We say that such persons are accomplished. Those who have accomplishments have usually worked very earnestly, but they find that the hard work is worth while. It brings pleasure not only to themselves, but to their friends. Many persons believe that artists have special talents and that only persons having talents can become artists. However that may be, we believe every girl may attain at least one ac- complishment — the ability to serve a meal gracefully. It is an asset for every girl to appear well in her home. In very many of the social gatherings of friends in a home, food is served. If you desire to serve food in an accomplished manner, a good 1 1 8 Breakfast way to learn is to serve your own family. At a family meal both the host and hostess help in serving the food. The daughters and sons often help too. At school when your class cooks and serves meals, you will probably have a turn at acting as host, hostess, or daughter. In your own home, you can often or per- haps regularly help your mother in serving. How is a meal served at the family table ? We learned that a table should be set in an orderly way. The serving of a meal should also be orderly. There are several ways or styles of serving a meal. One of the approved ways is called the family style. It is also sometimes called the English style.
