Food and freedom

PLANNING THE MEALS 97 FOR THE WOMAN AT HOME The housekeeper alone at home, whose work does not take her beyond the limits of stove and ice-box, also faces the problem of a proper meal at noon. Here the difficulty lies, however, in lack of appetite rather than lack of good, available food. A monotonous morning, with little opportunity for refreshment in the open air, has robbed the body of its vitality, leaving one worn, but with no very keen desire for food. Neglect is easy. A cup of strong tea is hastily swallowed while standing, and the " dull -headachy " afternoon follows. Luncheon with a chair, a plate with a napkin under it, and a flower seems out of the question. There are, how- ever, many quickly prepared food drinks, and other simple dishes calling for no more effort than the "tea and bread" luncheon, but supplying the body with just the right kind of attractive nourishment required. A list of such dishes kept on hand, so that the right food might be quickly pre- pared at the psychological moment, would double and triple the working value of the afternoons — and inci- dentally substitute happiness for headaches in many homes.
