DEAR LITTLE SCHOOLMA'AM: Being much interested, as well as amused,
by the luncheon article in ST. NICHOLAS for September, I should
like to add one more to the list of odd luncheons.
A pretty little dish of boiled rice, with a cake of molasses, or
preserve of some sort, in the middle. This, fitted into a basket,
and covered with a plate, goes safely, and, with the addition of a
napkin and two spoons, makes a simple meal for hungry children.
It may find favor in the eyes, or rather mouths, of the young
readers of ST. NICHOLAS, not only because it is good, but because
it was the favorite lunch once upon a time of two little girls who
are now pretty well known as "Meg and Jo March." It may be well
to add that these young persons never had dyspepsia in their
lives,--pie and pickles, cake and candy being unknown "goodies" to
them.
With best wishes for the success of this much-needed reform in
school-children's diet, I am, yours truly,
L.
