Timely Hints on How to Prepare

Excursions.
BY PHOEBE FORREST.

A BOUT the only real diversion OF
afternoon and all day Sunday picnic,
but this is not by any means to be
despised, for it enables one to get away
for a time from the noise and glare
and heat of the city to some suburban
place or some nearby park, where, per-
haps, there will be a concert to help
pass the hours agreeably.
Mother takes along the children's
rompers. and lays their white dresses
safely away in the suit case until going
home time comes, and baby is pro-
vided with a hammock where he IA
sleep all day in the open air. Father
takes the Sunday papers, and Tolls all
day under a shady tree, resting after
the arduous labors of the week Just
past, and mother, with all her house
hold cares behind her, has a long day
of real rest where there is no hot fire,
but only shade and cooling breezes.
Perhaps, says the writer in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, IL there is a daughter
grown, she takes along her favorite
girl chum or her best young man, and.
in short, everybody is happy.
Nowadays, picnics are so much nicer
than they used to be, for the ''shoe
box luncheon" has long been out Of
date. Wax paper and picnic plates,
glass jars and small boxes for con-
diments, were always at a premium,

Good Way to Spend Saturday or
Sunday Is to Get Up a Picnic
ing a civilized and delightful custom.

ing a civilized and delightful custom.
To my mind. a convenient luncheon
box is the kind that folds up and is
fitted up with as many necessities as a
picnic really calls for. Waxed paper,
napkins and even a crepe tablecloth
are some of the accessories provided,
the whole outfit being purchasable for
from ten to twenty-five cents.
OF course, the piece de resistance at a
picnic is the sandwich, and you should
try to vary the filings each time as
much as possible. A triangular sand
witch is. of course. daintier than a
square one, but ever this shape pals
after a time, and the hostess is Obliged
to resort to her cooky and like cutters.
Naturally there is more or less waste
with these fancy cutters, but the appeal
to the eye is often as important as the
effect on the stomach.
TIC make dainty looking sandwiches
the most important thing is to get the
bread thin enough. Only fresh bread
should be used and there will be no
necessity for its %crumbling, provided
that the cutting is done right.
The loaf should be first turned on end
and the top crust pared off in sections,
and then the under crust should be re-
moved in one slice. Leave the side
crusts undisturbed, for they help to
hold the loaf together.
When cutting the loaf should be
pinched as tightly together as is pos
sible, without breaking the texture of
the bread. In this way the knife cuts
through a narrowed slice.
Another necessity for a dainty sand
witch is soft butter, and there will prob
ably be no difficulty about this in sum-
mer time.
To keep the main dish fresh and
palatable, wrap each sandwich sep
