Picnic Luncheons for Business Folks in Spring

Inthe bright sunshine Of spring and early
summer the places which have served we'll
enough for luncheon all winter long seem
more or less intolerable and unappetizing.
In few Of the lofty downtown luncheon
clubs the sweet air sweeps across fresh white
tables, and by dint of ordering a shad roe
wit fresh salad and plenty Of Strawberries
and cream, fortunate member can forget
that he is two or three weeks overdue at
some trout brook in Pike county or tho
Adirondacks.
But thousands Of downtown workers
about 70 O'Clock on bright day the ledger
page or the steno graphic notebook is 1ecked
with black shadows that may be from tired
eyes, but are curiously like the pattern
made by young leaves on picnic lunch
basket. After looking at these, vegetable
soup CT baked beans becomes an impossi-
bilty, while anything would taste good il it
could be eaten out Of doors.
Two fellow clerks in an office rear the
City Hall were discussing this one day.

on terrace overlooking lake. l would
have an omelet with fine herbs and a
shcrbet with little bits Of fruit in it.
well I'd rather be lunching on yacht. "
eaid he. ANY kind OF yacht would do,
ard wouldn't care much what there was
to eat. Some bacon and pilot bread and
Scotch jam out of the jar would taste pretty
good. The feel Of the waves under the
keel would give me an appetite
A look of mischief frightened the girls
eyes.

I hereby invite you to come with me and
get an appetite by feeling the waves under

The yacht sails promptly at one
She led the way rapidly to tbe Cortlandt
street ferry. where they caught the boat
on the upper deck just as the bridges
were being lifted. As they moved out into
the stream the warm south wind struck
full in their faces. There we're few passen-
gers and they had plenty Of well shaded
Geek space to themselves.
II shall get the appetite without much
trouble" said he. What l wonder is.
where you are going to find the lunch.'
They found it in the ferryhouse at tbs
other side of the river, where there is a
restaurant for travellers but with standards
of cookery far above those usually con-
sidered good enough for people on Jour
ney.
There was plenty Of ime for the two sim
pie courses she ordered for, quick service
is. naturally enough, the custom Of the place.
They caught the 1880 boat easily enough
and were back at their desks by 2 with
freshened brains and frightened faces.
That was pretty good idea said he,
We'll do it again. Meanwhile. wonder
how shall get you your luncheon on the
terrace overlooking the lake,"
In about a week he had figured it cut.
III you are only moderately busy to-day"
said he. won't you ask the old man IL you
can have an extra half hour to go uptown7"
II don't want to go uptown to-day" she
replied.
4Please do answered he. "This Is the
day you arc to get your luncheon on a
terrace. Meet me at the bridge subway
station at 1890 sharp, think we can do
Il in an hour and half"
The old man not only granted the half
hour, but added an injunction not to hurry.
The subway train bowled along uptown
without incident, and in just twent 1.-TWO
minutes the runaway lunchers were at the
lofty Manhattan street station, where he
helped her from the train.
"You are going to take me to lunch at
Claremont,' said she, reproachfullv
We'll. what of it, said he.
"Its dreadfully expensive, said she,
"and it isn't managed for young working
pennle who have to lunch in a hurry"
there won't be any delays to-day said
he. THE lunch Is all ready. The tele-
phone il really great invention
There was clear soup, and the omelet
she had wished for cooked while they were
eating the first course. Then came the
sherbet and some coffee, all eaten in the
fresh air in full view Of the river,

gized. THE only available one was The
one in the Park, and there were difficulties
in the way Of getting food and transporta-

Their next out Of door luncheon was a
Dutch treat. In the morning she ordered
at a nearby restaurant four chicken sand
wiohes to be ready and packed at noon,
while he added . small basket of fine fruit
from one OF the little basement SHOPS where
they pack steamer parcels.
With these simple provisions they boarded

the SNOWFALL on it. He stands
yard or so from the pan and,
stretching forth his arm, applies the
lighted taper to the top of the snow
ball. There is a fash of fire, which
becomes steady flame, and there
il the SNOWFALL afre, much to the
mystifcation of the puzzled onlook-
ers.
The secret of the trick is very
simple. The person who fetches
you the pan Of snow must be con-
federate, who contrives to slip a
piece of camphor into the pan. You
search through the snow with your
fingers for the lump Of camphor as
you roll the SNOWFALL. The cam
phor, being white, looks from the
audiences point Of view like a lump
Of snow, and the sharpest eye will
not detect you as you slip it into the
top of the SNOWFALL. It should be
about the size and shape Of a chest
nut and be pushed into the snow
with the little end up.

One player writes a letter which,
Of course, he does not show, leaving
blanks for adjectives. He then asks
each player for an adjective, filing
up the spaces in order as he receives
them. The longer the letter is and
the more that play the greater the
enjoyment of the game. After the
letter is completed have him read
the letter aloud, and it is likely to
cause much merriment.

Fortune rsliina.

Do you like fortune telling? Here
is a funny one. Take any pack of
cards and say to one of your audi
ence, sIf you will sit on the floor and
place these cards in a circle around
you I will tell you your true for
tune"
When your subject is seated on
the floor make him be very careful
to form complete circle. This will
take some time. When he has final
ly finished you assume thoughtful
attitude and say: "Your past is that
you put the cards around you. Your
present is that you are sitting in the
center of the circle, and your fu-
ture is to pick up the cards. So get
Q move on you"

At special meeting Of the Sum
NIT common council held last Tuesday
night to consider the Partition placed
in the passageway of the Lackawanna
station
Councilman Franklin said that he
h a d interviewed Superintendent
Ketcham and also the counsel for the
company, and that the latter said
when his attention was called to the
contract with the city, that insofar
as the contract was concerned, the
company had compiled with it, and
that now it could do as it liked with
the depot, even move it a quarter of
a mile if they desired.
Mr. FRANKLIN said he had interview
ed consulting counsel, who was not SC
radical as Mr.. Jenney, general attor-
ney of the Lackawanna, but the coun-
sci had said that the partition could
be erected by the company If damage
resulted from the use of the passage
way by the general public passing
through. Mr. Franklin also said he
had endeavored to see President
Iruesdale Of the company, but the
president pleaded that he was toe
tired to be interviewed, but that the
general attorney had seen him and
reported to Mr.. Franklin that the
president had said that If the city
authorities would insure the COM
pany that no damage would be caused
the door in the PARTITION would be
left open, provided, also, that the city
would place a special officer in the
depot: otherwise the company might
close it up.
The matter was still left in the
hands of the law, and ordinance COM
mittee with power to consult counsel.
