The menus given below do not follow the conventional lines which ordain that a menu shall include at least soup savoury and sweet dishes. The hardworking housewife can afford neither the time nor the material to serve up so many dishes at one meal; and the wise woman does not desire to spend any more time and material on the needs of the body than will suffice to keep it strong and healthy. Lack of space will not allow me to include many menus. I have only attempted to give the barest suggestions for two weeks. But a study of the rest of the book will enable anyone to extend and elaborate them. Three meals a day are the most that are necessary and no woman desires to cook more than once a day. If possible the cooked meal should be the mid-day one. Late dinners may be fashionable but they are not wholesome. If the exigencies of work make the evening meal the principal one let it be taken as early as possible.
