The question of drinks for the picnic
is matter of conscience. Where wine
of all Kinds is tabooed coffee and tea
form the principal beverages. If the
lighting of a spirit lamp on the picnic
grounds is thought too troublesome a
fruit punch may be made at home and
carried in bottles. To make the punch
the following is reliable recipe: A

nothing will be found more appreciated
than lemon cream cakes. Cream to-

the whites into small dice and stir into
the yolks until they are evenly distrib-

salt pepper. few drops of vinegar and
a little chopped ham. If salad oil is
liked use it instead OF butter. Mayor
naise is also wonderfully good as a
dressing. Spread the egg mixture on
