Breakfast Oo''ffee.—French cafe

gestion than coffee taken with
cream. Clear coffee is, of course,
the most dige'sti'ble, but this seems
bitter .and unpleasant to many. To
prepare the cafe an laic properly
the coffee must be very clear. Tho
milk, 'unskimned, .should be heated
in a double 'boiler just to the boiling
point, but not long enough for a
film t -o foam on the top. Then the
milk .a and the clear hot . coffee

should be poured together in the
coffee .cup until •the sight 'strength
is ,attained.
Thee Coffee.—If coffee produces
nervousness, rice coffee may be sub-
'stituted for it. To make this brown
a cupful of rice in .the oven, ea,re-
fully, without burning it, and then
grind it fine in :•t coffee mill, Put
it in an earthenware jug and pour
a quart of -cold water over it. Let
it 'stand 411 hour. Strain it, heat it
.and serve it with hot still: or with
cream.
Toast.—Cut yesterday's bread
for breakfast toast. Sometimes
make the slices not more than eo
quarter of an inch thick incl dry
them in the oven until they ,are
golden brown. Serve warm with
butter. This sort of toast is most
digestible, 'bat it mustof course be
thoroughly masticated. If soft toast
is preferred, cut the !ices 'thicker
and toast them quickly on both

Eggs.—Coddled eggs are tempt-
ing. To prepare 'then! •ehr••u'st the
eggs, washed clean, into boiling
water, cover the 'dish, .and let, it
stand for from five to 10 minutes,
Then relllove the eggs And serve
with pepper, stilt and butter in an
egg cup. Poached eggs are alw:a,ys
tempting, and so are scrambled
eggs. Scrambled eggs can ,be sur-
rounded with crisp slices of broiled
bacon. The eggs 'should never be
