Savory butter made as follows is nice
to spread on the cucumber sandwich,
which is made by putting together
white and brown bread cut in circles
spread with the savory butter. Be
tween the two pieces of bread are
three small slices of cucumber. To
prepare the savory butter put a quar-
bowl and beat it with a wooden spoon
until it is soft and creamy. Add some
celery salt, pepper, a very little mus
tard, chopped parsley and a few drops
of lemon juice. This savOry butter is
also appetizing on meat sandwiches
No matter what other dainty goes
into the picnic basket, nothing seems to
take the place of deviled eggs. and it is
well attested fact that none of them
are ever left to throw away after lunch
con. Boil the number of eggs required
until hard. When cold remove the shell
and cut directly in half with a silver
knife-this prevents the egg from be-
coming discolored-then scoop out the
yolk. Mix with the yolk a little mus
tard, salt. pepper and finely chopped
ham, place the halves together and Sc
cure with a small toOthpick. Wrap
each egg in oiled paper. Two of these
deviled eggs are generally sufficient for
one person.
Just now things japanese are apt to
appeal to US, but as the clever little
Japs are not as yet educated up to our
culinary methods it is safer to borrow
a picnic sandwich from their foes, the
Russians. To make this Russian affair
stamp out in an oval shape thin slices
of brown bread and spread them with
neufchateI cheese On a corresponding
number of slices of bread spread a mix
ture of chopped olives mixed with may
onnaise dressing. Put a crisp leaf of
lettuce between the pieces of brown
bread. Sandwiches of lettuce should
never be taken on a long trip where
hours must elapse before they are eat

The characteristic feature of the new
linen skirts is the broad fiat plaits
which are so arranged as to spread
loose in full lines.
Messaline, the new silk, is being en-
ployed for every garment, from the
morning shirt to the most elaborate
evening toilet It has a satin surface,
and its suppleness makes it an ideal
material for the poufs and ruches
which are so popular this season.
Many of the newest evening frocks
have a lace. net or lingerie tucker
around the decolletage.
The saul du lit of today is a garment
that commands great attention. A YER

~REAM OF GREEN PEA SOUP
Soak one cupful OF green peas
overnight in one quart of cold
water. In the morning pour of the
water and put the peas in a pan, pour
ing over them one quart of boiling wa
ter. Cover the pan and let them cook
slowly until tender, rub through a
strainer and return the pulp and the
water in which the peas were cooked.
Add salt and pepper Melt two table
spOonfuls of butter, cream it with two
tablespoonfuls of flour and stir il into
the boiling soup until the mixture is
creamy. Before serving add one cup OF
cream.

boiled eggs. add to them two table

tops and seeds of six sweet peppers,

When large number are provided they
should be covered with a damp cloth
and then with a dry one. This treat
ment insures their freshness for many
hours.
The preparation of the sandwiches
themselves is another important item,
for nothing is more impossible to eat
than a thick, lumpy makeup of bread
and meat masquerading in the guise
of a sandwich. It is little more trou-
BILE to cut them neatly in fancy shapes,
and they are certainly twice as tempt
ing to even the unexacting appetite of
the picnicker.
The bread used for the sandwich may
be white or brown and is often a COM
bination of the two. But no matter
what the variety, be sure that it is at

in coaching parasols is a small shep-

W@HIs is the time of the year

RHIS is the time of the year
when the gypsying spirit is
abroad and the appetizing
picnic basket and the good
things to put in it appeal to the grown
up well as to the younger members
of the family. The automobile lunch
con basket, with it's appointments of
exquisite china, cut glass and all kinds
of things in which to serve the many
hors d'oeuvres which the smart pic
mic party considers indispensable. is a
luxury which only the motor tourist
and his ilk can afford.
The average picnicker when off for a
days outing is content to carry his
feed" either in q Japanese wicker
basket equipped with paper plates and
napkins, with possibly a silver fork and
spoon or two to preserve the conven-
tionalities. But more frequently a nice
fresh pasteboard shoe box is pressed
into service and is not to be despised,
as it is easy and light to carry and
may be thrown away when its little
hour of usefulness is past.
A hurry call for the picnic luncheon
basket never takes the provident house
keeper unawares, for, like the thrifty
little squirrel, she has been laying up
her picnic outfit during the winter. She
mas kept pieces OF DdTaIIln paper
which come in cracker boxes for use on
this occasion, and she has an assert
ment of paper boxes large and varied
enough to set up a shop. Wrapping pa
per saved from packages of dry goods

perate array of bottles is to be found

frOu fittings of lace or silk placed at
regular intervals from hip to knee. The
bodices are treated in the same way
with ruchings and plaitings outlining a
