"A
basket in the shape of a horn of plenty may be used for a centerpiece,
and it may be filled with fruits of the season. A circular lace
cover, that reaches just to the edge of the table is employed. A
good menu for a Christmas breakfast is, baked apples with sweet
cream, broiled smelts with sauce tartare, English mutton chops,
creamed potatoes, ham omelet, Parker House rolls, buttered toast,
griddle cakes with maple syrup, tea, and coffee."
