There is bound to be a certain monotony, but even this can be- come a source of pleasure if all the simple ingredients of the meal are served to perfection: fruit juice in sparkling glass, a pretty break- fast service, an "individual" but- ter-pot and a rack of well-made toast.

For many people this a sufficient; others require something more substantial. This should be a small and tempting morsel, neither in- apid nor too strongly flavoured. . A fish souffle is an ideal dish.

All that is needed for this a few flakes of cold white fish made into a paste -with the sauce with which it was served and an egg, white and yolk to be beaten separ- ately. The mixture is poured into a souffle dish to bake until it is risen and set. Serve as quickly and as hot as possible.
