i WALLACE FORD RELAYS SOME EXCELLENT IDEAS ON THE PERFECT SUNDAY BREAKFAST TO THE ODERN HOSTESS T Wallace Ford's favorite fruit for breakfast naturally sweet grapefruit covered with a maraschino juice HE modern symbol of financial independence is a second cup of coffee on weekday mornings ! Most of us just don't have time for a second cup. We gulp the first frantically;', hoping wildly that we won't "be late." Unless you are one of those rare individuals who can manage to get up early— early enough to really enjoy breakfast every day of the week— you are pretty well reconciled by now to the fact that breakfast can not be a leisurely, civilized, friendly sort of an affair except on Sunday. For a long time now, in our house, breakfast and lunch have been combined on Sundays into one meal, affectionately referred to as "brunch." We were delighted to have Wallace Ford tell us that this Sunday breakfastand-lunch combination is an established custom in the Ford household, too. Wallace admitted that he never got up on Sunday until around noon. "And," said he.

"It should be eaten under the most attrac-j tive conditions and amid the! most comfortable surroundings. For instance, if you' have a fire burning in the living room, I am all for having; breakfast served in front of the fire." "What is your idea of a good Sunday breakfast?" vM asked Mr. Ford. "Well," replied Wallace, "of course I like to start off j with some kind of chilled fruit. Grapefruit, unsweetened I except for a little maraschino juice poured over it, is ' my favorite." (Here we made a mental note to warn you that if vou try this you want to be sure that the grapefruit is naturally | sweet. -You know, out in California where the fruit can '> be allowed to ripen on the trees, it is naturally consid j erably sweeter than much of what is on sale in distant . cities. So if your market cannot supply you with rea [ sonably sweet grapefruit, add sugar and then set the fruit away in the refrigerator, over night or at least for several hours, to chill thoroughly. Then pour over the maraschino cherry juice just before serving and place a cherry in the center to add an especially decorative touch.) NEXT to grapefruit what do you like?" we continued. "Sliced oranges, or peaches and cream, or an unusual sort of apple concoction which I've never had outside of my own home. It is a cross between apple sauce and glaceed apples, retaining the best features of each." (We're delighted to tell you that you'll find the recipe for this Wallace Ford apple dish on one of this month's recipe cards — see the coupon in lower left hand corner of this page.
