JACKET.
chors which border the skirt and deco
rate the jacket are embroidered in dark
blue silk. The trim little double breasted
waistcoat is of white silk or vesting,
spotted with dark blue.
What to put in the hamper for a yacht
ing or boating party at this eason Of the
year is quite a c~onundrum, especially If
anything novel is desired as a change
from the inevitable cold chicken, ham
and sandwiches which naturally present
themselves to the mind of a h~ousekeeper
when a luncheon al fresco is suggested.
For a boating party the two chief things
to remember are first to choose what will
keep and pack easily, and next to pre-
pare the food SO that 1t can be unpacked
and served quickly, says the New York
Tribune, already quoted In the matter Of
gowns.
This authority suggests that n of
the most acceptable dishes for an aquatic
excursion is a good sized piece of salmon
cooked to a turn, for If ever SO slightly
underdone it will not be nice, nor will it
cut up easily, and if oyerdone it will
crumble. Let the cook prepare it as late
as possible the evening before, SO that.it
will be quite fresh, and pack it in a dish
that will exactly fit it, and cover it with
fresh, clean cabbage or lettuce leaves.
Then prepare your mayonnaise dressing,
which win do both for the salmon and
a Russian salad, which is also a capital
dish for a picnic. This is made of cold
potatoes, beets and chopped lettuce, with
an onion or two to give 1t flavor. The
best way in which to carry mayonnaise
is in an open mouthed pickle bottle, and
the salad Of course should be in it's own
dish closely packed. Chickens look more
appetizing il neatly cut in joints and
packed in a dish with a garnish of ham
Or tongue or jelly.
In the way Of sweets a mold of jelly
is always refreshing and may be put in
the bottom Of the ice pail to keep cool.
A pudding that travels well is one Of
cakes and custard, like a charlotte russo.
It is made Of slices Of cake and hasa "set
custard" in the center. If it is an all
day affair and there is space in the boat
for a small oil stove, q hot dish is very
sustaining. A cup Of hot coffee would
prevent many q backache and the wea-
ried feeling consequent on an all day ex-
cursion. So take the oil stove by all
means if practicable; If not, cold coffee
au lait and tea sweetened and carried in
bottles will have to take its place.
