now TO RUN A PICNIC

In getting up picnic three things are of
paramount importance-the weather, the
place and the people. OF these three the
last Is the first to be considered, since no
party can possibly be pleasant unless those
who compose it are congenial-peoplew who
will be likely to enjoy each others society
and entertain each other agreeably. Next
in Importance to the people Of the picnic is
the place where it is to be held. This should
be shady, with grass and with water at
hand, and, If possible, near to some house
which will afford shelter in case of sud-
den shower. If the affair is a genuine
country picftic In the woods, some one
must, of course, see that the ground Is
made ready beforehand, the underground
cleared away and seats provided for the
party. Dead stumps and old logs make
picturesque resting places. but are apt TO
be infested with ants, to say nothing of
spiders. scorpions and even snakes, whose
proximity may be dangerous as well as dis
agreeable.
Luncheon may be served either on cloths
spread ON the ground or on tables roughly
constructed for the purpose, which last is
the usual plan, except for informal gath
erlngs. This matter must be decided by
circumstances. If the cloth is laid upon
the ground, 1t is a good idea to take
rug along to spread under the table

Then he entered and made UP a package of
clothing and valuables which he prepared
to carry off. AS Mrs. eRgan was alone
with deliberate aim at his head.
Wagner was nuconcerned for his safety
and made considerable noise. The next
thing he realized was the grasp of a. pair
of strong arms about his neck and deter
mined woman's eyes looking into his.

Wagner broke away, fled down the steps
four at time and reached the street not
five feet ahead of Mrs Regan. Half a
block further on he glanced over his shoul-
der and saw his pursuer poising a brick
with deliberate aim at his head.
"I'll quit" shrleked Wagner and he
mildly accompanied his captor 70 patrol
box, where he was delivered to IS police
officer.--From Chicago paper.

Serving the Luncheon

Select a level spot for the purpose, and
be careful that ii does not abound in ant
hills. Place the commissary department in
the hands of a committee, who shall be
responsible for the meal. Let it be definite
ly understood beforehand what every one
is to contribute, and if it be possible, let
each person bring his own knife, fork and
spoon. since by this means a great deal of
anxiety about silver may be avoided. The
more sensible plates for picnic use are the
thin wooden ones which sell for few cents
a dozen. They occupy little room, are light
of weight, and cheap enough to be thrown
away after using.
When picnic club is organized for the
season and makes excursions every week
or two, cheap spoons should form part of
its outfit. individual glass crues for pep
per and salt are also advisable picnic prop
critics, glass being preferable to porcelain
since the contents are our own and not so
likely to be mistaken one for the other. An
air-tght glass jar, such as is used for put
ting up fruit, is the best thing in which to
take sugar If salt and sugar are taken in
boxes or paper label them plainly since
lemonade has sometimes been salted instead
OF sugared because of the failure to mark
two exactly similar packaees-the one con-
tanned powdered sugar, the other salt.
To Preserve Ice,
Ice may be kept for hours by wrapping i.
In several thicknesses of newspaper and
then in an Ice blanket An ice pick should
be laid inside the folds of the blanket, where
1t will be a hand when needed. If tea and

pared beforehand and taken IN bottles or In

eatables in, and thus space may be econo-
mized. Be sure to take corkscrew and

Care of Lamps

The light of oil lamps is so much softer
and less injurious for the eyes than iick-
ering gas or even electricity that 1t really
should be used instead of these IN all hur-
series and children's rooms, and the only
drawback about lamps is that theE require
such careful tending to keep them III a sale
and bright condition. But, given cum
scientious nurse or a mistress VINO uhuet-
takes thei1 management herself. all Will be
we'll One very necessary thing in lamps -
that the oil reservoir be kept scrupuIouslA
clean inside: no oil is so pure that II does ho'
leave a sediment, and If this SEDIMENT De
allowed to accumulate. the succeeding oil
fails to burn as brightly as it otherwise
would. Lamp re servoirs should be washed
out once a week with hot water and pearl
ash, and be allowed to thoroughly drain and
dry before new oil be added. The burner
should also be frequently cleaned-once
day, in fact-and every oritice should be
thoroughly cleaned out; the wick should be
wiped at the top with piece of soft rag,
to remove the charred edges, and if the
wick should be found to burn rather cloud
lily, 1t may be necessary to remove 1t next
morning and soak it for an hour or two in
vinegar and water. 1t should be quite dry
