"O hour of all hours, the most bless'd upon earth, Blessed hour of our dinners!"

Menus

"Variety is the spice of life."

While these menus are simple and in some ways comparatively complete, it is not to be supposed that they can always be carried out in detail. They will, however furnish suggestions to housekeepers and entertainers who are daily perplexed with the question: "What shall we have to eat today?"

On the table spread the cloth,

Let the knives be sharp and clean; Pickles get and salad both,

Let them each be fresh and green.
