PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT.

"Breakfast and Teas" is a companion book to that most interesting and
helpful series of social works compiled by Paul Pierce, publisher of
_What To Eat_, the National Food Magazine, and the world's authority on
all problems pertaining to the drawing room and the table. The other
books are "Dinners and Luncheons," "Parties and Entertainments,"
"Suppers," and "Weddings and Wedding Celebrations." The contents of each
volume are selected with especial regard for the extent of their
helpfulness for the perplexed hostess. The instructions that are given
will afford suggestions for all the different kinds of social functions
the host or hostess ever will have occasion to give or to attend, and
therefore all the volumes combined will furnish a veritable library for
the person who entertains or who attends entertainments, and no person
with a regard for correct social forms should fail to be supplied with
all five of the books. In the directions special attention is given to
the suggestions afforded for other kinds of entertainments, so that in
each entertainment described the reader will find ideas for a dozen or
more entertainments of a similar nature.
