As supper comes late in the day, we want, when we can, to choose those foods that will need little cooking; and thus we make as little work as possible. We have to remember, too, the time of year, for in summer we may not want a hot dish; whereas in winter, a warm supper is just what we need.

A simple supper. If we are thinking only of the needs of the body, a supper of bread and milk, with some cooked fruit or berries, is all that is required in warm weather. People who are satisfied with this, are very sensible and fortunate. But what shall we give to those who want something else?

There will be bread and butter, of course; something sweet in the way of simple cake or gingerbread or cookies; fruit, either berries or cooked canned fruit; cocoa or tea. Do we want meat or a substitute for it? Is there some cheese in the house? There is a cheese toast that will make a hot dish to take the place of meat. It can be cooked in a frying pan on top of an oil stove. This dish can be added to the list of foods prepared at school.
