Excerpt from Luncheon The midday meal of the household is too Often an indifferent affair, or consists of ingredients which upset the system instead of benefiting it. This should not be. Quite as much care should be exercised in the table appointments at lunch as at any other meal. If servants are allowed to Shirk their duties at one time, isit not human to expect them to be careless Whenever they feel so disposed? Should a child be expected to have pretty table manners at a particular meal, when he is allowed to run riot at others P Heavy soups Should not appear at the lunch eon table, for it is too much to ask of a servant to make soup twice a day. Clam broth, however, is easily made, and served in cups is always acceptable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
