  2. BREAKFAST No. 102.

  3. Cracked Wheat.

  4. Cherry Short Cake. Cocoa au Lait.

  5. Ripe Fruit. CHERRY SHORT CAKE. This delicious cake, when made in perfection, can hardly be surpassed, and meets with an especially warm reception among the juveniles, w^ho always make a triumph over early rising when this cake is served for breakfast. To bedn with, you must not use an acid cherry, however ripe. Only very sweet and very ripe ones will answer for this cake. These too, must be of the very best quality. Make a short cake as for strawberry short cake in Breakfast No, 45. When the cake is baked, split and butter the inside of each half. Have the cherries stoned. Add them thickly and liberally to one half of the cake, sweeten to taste, and lay the other half on the top of the cherries. If you have two or more cakes, do not pile one on the other. Keep them separate, or they will be soggy. They look nicer when baked in Washington-pie plates, and cut pie fashion when served.
