MEAL in OPEN AIR
DAlNTIEs SUITABLE FOR THE
PICNIC LUNCH.
Sandwiches and Eggs Probably the
Most important Festures--vlenna
Jelly Roils--Fruit salads-For
Good Butter Scotch.


The secret OF spreading an appetiz-
ing picnic lunch lies In making II look
dainty and fresh. CruEpled and soggy
sandwiches. meats that are dry and
salad that is strong from having been
mixed with the dressing too long do
not tempt the fastidious picnicker.
For the luncheon itself sandwiches
and eggs make up the important fea-
ture. The eggs should be boiled just
long enough before the start to give
them a chance to get thoroughly
cooled. Eight or ten minutes Is not
too long TO cook them, and II they are
thrown into ice water the shells can
be removed almost at once. Stuffed
eggs make delicious picnic dish, the
seasoning giving them a decided relish.
The eggs will keep fresh looking and
will have a dalntier and more appetite.
ing appearance II each is rolled in a
crisp lettuce leaf and then wrapped in
paraffin or oiled paper.
Chicken sandwiches are always
tempting. For these the recipe reads:
One-half cup finely chopped chicken,
two level tablespoons grated cheese.
one-half level teaspoon prepared mus.
tard. onefourth level teaspoon salt,
one-elghth level teaspoon panrika,
cream to moisten.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly and
spread between thin slices of but,ered
entire wheat bread. lettuce leaf
moistened with French dressing and
placed over the mixture In each sand
witch will be an addition.
Vienna Jelly rolls are always appre-
ciated. To make the rolls, add one-half
level teaspoon of salt to two cups OF
bread -four and rub In rounding
tablespoon of butter. Dissolve half a
yeast cake in one cup of lukewarm
water and level teaspoon OF sugar
and turn into the -four Add one
beaten egg and beat all well together.
Cover and let rise until morning. But
ter hot gem pans, fill half full of the
risen batter, let stand a few minutes
and bake in a quick oven Split and
I'LL with tart jelly.
Fruit salads are exceedingly CRATE
ful to the appetite. An excellent salad
is made by cutting oranges in half and
removing all the pulp and also the
tough white fiber. Now mix with the
chopped orange pulp, bananas, English
walnuts and a small bottle of Maras
chino cherries, chopped. Place this
mixture in the orange shells. and put
tablespoonful of mayonnaise dress
ing on top. Serve. on bed of crisp let
tuce leaves.
Finally. here is the chance of life
time to enjoy butter scotch.
For this. two-thirds pint graduated
sugar Tor one pint brown sugar., one
