KIND OF FOOD TO TAKE.

Here. as at home, the meal must be
well balanced. There is tendency 20
carry too many sweets 10 the woodland
spread. Plenty OF sandwiches containing
cheese. meat or egg mixtures should be
taken along.
As to cakes, leave at home those that
arc likely to crumhle or become sticky
on the tourney. such as layer cakes and
eclairs.
Avoid all fruits that are so juicy they
cannot be eaten with the hand Many a
person has thoughtlessly packed oranges
in the picnic hamper. forgetting that
finger bowls do not grow on trees. Ba-
nanas and apples and other dry fruits are
more appropriate for such spreads.

with the coming Of the first warm days
the allure of the country picnic presents
itself 10 the languid and .jaded CITY
dweller. and the prospect of the comDina-
ton of green trees and light food looks
mighty attractive. There is no better

AS TO PARAPHERNAlIA.

The tempting displays that the shops
offer of picnic outfits would be quite ire
s.stlble were it not for the prices charged
Tor them. Forty and fifty dollars for an
OUTFIT for six people seems rather eXpen-
slve for an occasional picnic.
It is possible. however to make these
outfits al home OF course. they will bear
the inevitable stamp of home made
but this matters little on such an in
formal occasion as woodland picnic.
The basket outfits Of the shops usually
contain an alcohol lamp. tea Kettle, a
sandwich box. two OF three smaller
boxes, "A bottle Tor alcohol and knives.
