reak fasts for Mornings After

What Clara Bow Eats Depends Upon Whether She Wants to Cultivate or Discourage 5L. Insomnia
HE had made violent love to her. She had repulsed him. He offered her wine. She sipped a bit of it. Her bobbed head reeled. At one o'clock she said she must go home. He locked the door. It went on like that until the wee, small hours of the morning, and then the director said the Clara Bow company could go home.
If there is anything soggier than a breakfast without having had any previous sleep, Clara can't think of it. The It girl of the screen ought to know. She's shot more night scenes and seen more sunrises than a night-watchman. It's all because Clara's pictures are so popular they burn up the box-office and a star making $8,000 per doesn't enjoy the privileges of the eight-hour union law.
What does a girl eat who has been up all night? The flapper debutantes could tell you. So can Clara. If she has to hurry back to the studio after snatching a few hours' sleep, she orders something like the menu to the right.
The difference between the two menus is that one is stimulating and the other is sedative.
If you want to be on your toes and up and doing the first thing in the morning, you can't beat a glass of strained tomato juice. It clears the brain and promotes a lot of energy. All you need for this is a can of tomato puree and a strainer. Serve cold.
The eggs soft boiled are a further stimulant. If you can eat a raw egg, so much the better. If you can't,
MENU
Glass of strained tomato juice
Soft-boiled egg
Melba toast
Coffee
But if the studio has granted her the day off and she can crawl into bed and go to sleep, she substitutes the order following:
Glass of warm milk
Oatmeal
French toast with bacon
No coffee
don't cook it over two minutes at the very utmost. Melba toast is bread cut as thin as possible and toasted on both sides in the oven. It may be buttered, but it will be crisper and fresher if you can do without butter.
Everybody knows that coffee wakes you up, and it makes just the right finishing touch to the breakfast that is guaranteed to put you on your feet no matter what happened the night before.
The other menu promotes sleep and nothing is more conducive to a good rest than a glass of warm milk. If you're bothered with insomnia, you want to try this. You can't go wrong.
Oatmeal is another restful dish and is soothing to the nerves as well. Serve very hot and don't stint yourself on the butter and sugar and cream.
French toast is prepared by dipping bread into a mixture of egg and milk and then frying it. Garnished with bacon, this adds the necessary filling touch that is guaranteed to make you sleepy.
Don't forget to forego the coffee with this diet. No matter how much hot milk you drink, you aren't going to sleep if you top it off with a cup of coffee.
Remember that the first menu is for warding off sleep and that this second one is for courting it. Every item just named should make for a pleasant drowsiness ; and to include with the meal anything stimulating will defeat the entire purpose of the breakfast.
