The lunch is one of the most cniova-
BILE features of picniclling, and the fol.
lowing hints may prove helpful in pre-
pairing and packing the same. so that,
when served, it may tempt both the eye

sharp knife is needed for cutting il into
thin slices not over three inches square.
These. buttered slightly, may be
daintily filed with ham, salad, sar-
dimes, tongue, or whatever one likes
