HOW CELEBRITIES FEED

INTERESTING MENUS A “ keep fit ” compaign has been started somewhere, writes the London correspondent of the ‘ Manchester Guardian,’ arid many celebrities have been asked to explain how they keep fit. Mr Lansbury rises at half-past 7, immediately after he has drunk a cup of tea. He breakfasts at 8 on a slice of bacon and egg, bread and butter, and tea, and in winter sometimes he adds porridge. He has fish or a little meat or chicken or cheese pudding with vegetables, fruit, or sweet for his midday meal. At tea he has tea, bread and butter, and fresh fruit, and for his evening meal he usually has milk, fruit, and shredded wheat, and seldom takes meat or vegetables. He takes no stimulant, and he does not smoke. Mr George Bernard Chaw confesses that after his morning swim at the Automobile Club he has a cup of hot preparation, grapefruit, a rye bread with butter and marmalade. His midday meal consists of macaroni cheese or an omelette with vegetables, with sweet and dessert, and his evening meal is much the same. He does not touch meat, fish, coffee, alcohol, tea, or tobacco. Mr J. B. Priestley’s view on the sub-

ject is cheerful. He explains that hi has a fairly substantial breakfast—eggs and bacon or kedjeree, toast, and marj inalade. and tea. For lunch he has cheese and fruit, and at about 4.30 he has two cups of tea to keep him awaka for what he regards as the best working period of the day, between 3 and 7.30, which is one of the reasons that he never goes to cocktail parties. He usually dines about 8 o’clock, and has three courses. He rarely takes supper. Miss Marie Tempest begins with « breakfast in bed, with grapefruit, toast and tea. Her midday meal includes fish, chicken or cutlet or game, or whatever is going, and lager beer. Her evening meal, when playing, is eaten at half-past 11. much the same as her midday meal. With this she has whisky and ice water (no soda water). Sh« goes to bed every afternoon for an hour or so, as she has done,.all hei life, even when not working. ;•
