Excerpt from Table Decorations and Delicacies: A Complete Hand-Book for the Hostess
So much has been written with regard to the actual laying o the cloth and serving of the dinner that it seems useless to enter upon the subject here. Suffice it to say, fashion has reverted to the old style of having very little upon the table. And, again, it is no longer desirable to serve a dinner of many courses.
It may be advisable to state that this is not, strictly speaking, a recipe book. On the other hand, a number of recipes as well as hints for cooking have been given when the dishes mentioned were old-fashioned or in any way unusual.
The greater number of the pictures represent cold dishes. The reason for this is that it is an easy matterto give care and attention to perfecting a dish that may be finished at a convenient time and set aside until it is needed.

To the Hostess:
Every book, however unpretentious in character, owes its origin to an inspiration. If practical, it has a distinct object. This picture book for housekeepers is designed to give some sort of permanence to childhood memories as well as to ideas garnered in later days. These ideas are set forth with the hope that they may be of value to many women who are too busy to give much time to the decorative side of housekeeping. The illustrations show how easily one may brighten and elaborate the table every day and especially upon high days and holidays.
