    found in this collection which will not be acceptable in some families, though they would be appreciated and liked in others. In such cases it will not be difficult to find substitutes in some of the other menus. Some such selections from other menus will also meet the occasion of a more considerable entertainment than usual; as, for example, it will be easy to add an extra entree, some small joint or roast, and perhaps a dressed vegetable. But additions such as these must not be made hap- hazard. Due regard must be paid to their harmony with the menu as it already stands, if the dinner is to be that which it ought always to be—not a mere means of satisfying hunger, but a carefully selected course of dishes, following one another in agreeable succession, pleasing to taste and eye.
