THAT LUNCH OUT OF DOORS
A Little Forethought VIII Do Much
to Add to the ENJOYMENT of
the Affair.

Prepare everything you want chilled
at your picnic lunch the night before.
Do your sandwiches in oiled paper
and pack in a box. Put your salad
dressing in can Wet your prepared
salad material very slightly with
dressing in paraff1ne butter cases and
put your hard boiled eggs in their
shells in paper pals.
Wrap each box, case, or pail, sepa-
rately in several thicknesses of news
paper and set on ice till morning:
Also lay in several newspapers.
When packing the baskets in the
morning have one exclusively for
chilled foods.
Lay half the chilled papers in the
bottom of this basket. Pack all your
chilled packages in as closely as pos
sible and cover with the remainder of
the papers.
Arrived at the picnic grounds set
in a steady place. Prepared in this
way food will keep perfectly cold for
at least six hours. Your egg pals
make useful water pals.

Skirt Widths

Much has been heard regarding full
er skirts for suits next season. says
the Dry Goods Economist. The skirt
now being made is happy medium
between full skirt and the very mar
row one in vogue a year ago. This
will no doubt be the popular width
for fall and winter. 1t is still made
to give the straight, narrow lines, but
has enough fullness to permit of per
feet freedom in walking. a few plaits
are introduced in clever manner in
the back, front or sides, but are press
ed or stitched so as not to give any
fare

Chow-ChoW One of the Least Expen.

On cold meat days chow-chow

be made for one dollar to last all
winter.

one-half peck of ripe tomatoes, six
onions, three small heads of cabbage,
one dozen green peppers, and three
red peppers, with the seeds of each

sician ordered her to a sanitarlum for
rest and upbuilding. and when she re-
turned to work he instructed her to
eat four fresh laid eggs daily; two
eggs for breakfast and the others raw
in milk. Finding it difficult to obtain
dependably fresh eggs she persuaded
her mother to permit her having a
small flock in the home yard. A port
able house was purchased and fifteen
pullets Installed in It. A small brother
was paid ten cents a week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought and the result
of the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and sup
ply for the family. but there was
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing ten
cents a dozen above the market price.

events were indissolubly associated.
The planters teeth knocked together.
He was having a terrible acquaint-
ance with fear, its very depths had
swallowed him up; it was black pit
in which he sank from horror to hor-
ror. He had lost all faith in the Clan
which had terrorized half a dozen
states, which had robbed and MUIR
dered with apparent impunity, which
had marketed its hundreds Of stolen
slaves. He had utterly collapsed at
the first blow dealt the organization,
but he was still seeing MurreIl, pallid
and shaken.
A step sounded in the hall and an
instant later Hicks entered the room
without the formality of knocking.
Ware recognized his presence with a
glance OF Indifference, but did not

Summer dress materials are also a
good bargain. There are certain stand

never out of style. Irish lace in mar

piece and blind embroidery are al
ways in order and can be picked up
now cheaply.
This is the harvest time of the eco
