Supposing, however, a nice little new cabbage is sent to table, with plenty of really good white sauce or butter sauce, over which has been sprinkled a little bright green parsley, whilst some crisp fried bread surrounds the dish--the cabbage is converted into a meal; and if we take into account the absence of the meat, we still save enormously.

The advice we would give, especially to young housekeepers, is, "Persuasion is better than force." If you wish to teach a child to swim, it is far easier to entice him into shallow water on a hot summer's day than to throw him in against his will in winter time.
Another point which we consider of great importance is appearances.

As far as possible, we should endeavour to make the dishes look pretty.

We are appealing to a very large class throughout the country who at all cost wish to keep up appearances.

It is an important class, and one on which the slow but gradual march of civilisation depends.
