    As the First Course Something new and quite delicious is bananas sliced in orange juice. A partic- ularly happy suggestion in these days of light breakfasts, when little else besides fruit and coffee is considered essential by the business man making a dash for the office; or the woman making a valiant attempt at reducing . . . Another satis- factory all-fruit combination is that of grapefruit sections and juice, fresh or canned, with sliced bananas. 8 Banana and Orange Juice Cocktail 4 bananas 114 cups orange juice Slice or dice bananas into sherbet glasses or sauce dishes and cover with orange juice. Serve with spoon. ® Banana in the Skin Siit the skin and roll a section back toward stem end. Slice the banana, allow- ing all the slices to remain in place in the skin. Serve with a fork—on a fresh green leaf for color. r) As the Main Dish Baked bananas are a favored breakfast dish in some households. Baked in the skin or out, they are as certain of a hearty welcome at breakfast as at luncheon. Then for a leisurely and heavier break- fast—perhaps on Sunday morning—try that savory combination of bananas broiled with bacon, which is one of the most popular of luncheon dishes.
