Excerpt from The Housekeeper's Guide, or a Plain and Practical System of Domestic Cookery

It is highly advantageous to act by a plan, from time to time observing how it answers, and introducing to it such improvements as circumstances may dictate. This is of essential importance, both as it regards expense, time, and social arrangements.

Some attem ts have been made to fumish a scale of expenditure a apted to the number of individuals com posing a family and the income possessed. Particular cases will vary with circumstances. The home] adage, Cut your coat according to your cloth, will, however, admit an improvement. In no case must the coat be cut of a larger proportion than the cloth will allow neither is it necessary to cut the coat larger than to fit the wearer, merely for the sake of using up all the cloth. Let a fair proportion of income be allotted to household expenses; and if, through good management, a surplus of this allot ment should remain, it will be easy to find some pleasant and satisfactory way in which to appropriate it.
