A refrigerator is a great help during the summer
months in preserving many of the necessary articles
of food ; and without ice it is difficult to make puff
paste, and to turn out moulds of jelly, &c. in very hot
weather. The cost of a refrigerator ranges from 3/. to
15/. and upwards. It is a miscalculation to purchase
one which is not large enough to hold a suitable
quantity of ice and the various articles of food which
have to be ' kept.'
Care must always be taken to prevent the odour
of one edible from being imparted to another, when
placed in the refrigerator.

CHAPTER VI.
DISHING UP.
Food must not only be well and suitably cooked, but
it must be sent to table neatly and, if possible, elegantly
arranged. Joints are to be placed on dishes deep
enough to hold some gravy, large enough to admit
of being carved without spilling the gravy, but not of
disproportionate size. The fish dish should be long
and narrow for salmon and similarly shaped fish, broad
for turbot and dories : there should be drainers for each
size dish. Entrees require care and neatness in
arranging, and also, it may be observed, in carrying
from the kitchen to the dining-room, so that the cook's
care may not be frustrated by the footman's careless-
ness. Entrees which consist of small pieces of meat,
&c., must be placed symmetrically in the dish.
Here the lady can render real service to an inex-
perienced cook, by preparing a model dish either with
pieces of bread, or cold cutlets, and with the proper
quantity of garnish and sauce, when both mistress and
servant are at leisure.
