What to Take 10 Picntcs.


At this season Of the year the question what
eatables to take to picnics arises so frequently
that few suggestions may be acceptable. Many
people lose sight Of the fact that good bread
and butter and cold meat are articles OF which
there should be an ample supply, even at the
cost OF going without some deiicacies. A small
spirit limp will enable one to get, with very
little trouble, cup of hot tea, coffee or choco-
late. Here is q short list Of good things from
which to make selections for q luncheon in the
woods: Buttered thin bread, butterpd rolls.
pressed chicken, broiled chicken, tongue ham
pressed corned beef, sardincs stuffed eggs hard.
boiled eggs, brOiled smoked salmon. pickles
olives, crackers and cheese, orange marina iade
hard gingerbread, cake, cold coffee cold tea lem
onade. There are many fruit sirups which, IN Xed
with cold water, make palatable drinks. Lemon
juice for lemonade should be extracted at home
and carried to the picnic grounds in bottles.
The sugar may be put with it or added with the
water when the lemonade is wanted. When
Ice can be transported the bill OF fare may he
improved greatly For example, salads may he
packed in Ice and they will be found tempting
when dinner Is announced. Ice cream and
sherbet also will make the meal seem q hun.
dred per cent better on a hot day, and little
ice in the lemonade will make 1t so much more
refreshing as to repay one for the trouble OF
carrying the ice. But have good bread and
butter anyway. 1t Is we'll to distribute crackers
and cheese among the party on first reaching
the grounds, SO as to relieve any feeling vi
faintncSS.
