In no other part of cookery does the skill of the cook show to advantage as in the way in which the various sauces are prepared and served.  To make a perfect sauce is an art in cooking.  Many plain foods, as well as the use of leftovers, may, by the addition of a good sauce, be turned into palatable and attractive dishes.

Three or four cupfuls of cream sauce may be made at one time and then poured into a bowl and covered with a damp napkin, and placed in the icebox until needed.  The sauce will keep in a cool place for three or four days and will relieve the necessity of making a sauce every day.
