ment.
Anything in the way Of refreshments
may be taken to the picnic but some
things are more appropriate than 9th
ers. Cold tea, salad dressings, olives,
pickles, etc, are nearly always includ.
ed in picnic lunches because they can
be carried in sealed cans. Deviled
eggs, canned meats, etc, also form a
part Of the usual picnic lunch. We
think Of the things that are easily
carried and that can be served with
the fewest dishes.
Informality is the keynote to the
pleasure derived from picnic. Peo-
pie are always ready for a good time
and 60 to picnics for that purpose.
Anyone who feels that his food must
be served in order and who does not
feel able to come down to usual pic.
mic style, had better absent himself
from same as he will not enjoy himself
or add any merriment to the party.
Picnic style has its own attraction
and to rob it of its individuality would
be to spoil it entirely. We should en-
courage picnics; it is good for people
to meet in this informal way and to
eat out in the open air. Many seem to
think that one must necessarily 60 for
some distance-to a lake or to a park,
or some resort. 1t is always pleasant
when this can Re done but it Is not
necessary: there are always many
pretty places near at hand. 1t is I'M
necessary for anyone to do lot Of
extra work for picnic; plain, whole
some things that will satisfy good
healthy appetites are all that are need
ed. Make the most of picnics, enjoy
the summer months, enjoy your
friends and get together. That is
what makes life worth living.
