Willson, home economist. I After all, she points out, menus are only guides in selecting foods. They may be written or they may exist only in the mind of the housewife when she answers the question, “What shall we have for dinner?” When the idea of menus origin ated, dinners were much more elab orate than they are now. A list of the foods to be served, was nmde for the guest’s convenience so that he might reserve his appetite for those foods he liked best. Thus originated the first m$nus. Since that time, menus have be come just as helpful in planning simple family dinners. They make it easier to include the essential foods in the diet, and to choose foods whose flavors blend together. First choose the meat, and then choose vegetables and fruits to go with it—all of these are essential in the diet.
