FOR THE PICNIC HAsk Ell
Easily Made Combfn nations That sre
Good


The success Of a picnic depends IN
a great measure upon the lunch and
how IL Is packed. What good Things
shall we place in the basket. without
costing us too much labor beforehand.
is the question that interests us house
wives who have to prepare them,
saws the household editor Of Farm and
Home
There Is a science in packing n picnic
basket as well as in other things. AL
most anything and everything can be
csr ried in tin or pasteboard boxes, if
they are lined with oiled waxed paper.
This is much better way to carry
the food than TO pack II hIt-and-miss
tn basket where the food is apt 10
become crushed and messy. and all
, sorts OF favors perneate II.
Nowadays sandwiches form the most
important part of these picnic lunches,
and they simplify the packing in q
great measure.
Plotted meats, beef or veal loaves and
ported cheese can be prepared a day or
go before. The potted meats and cheese
can be filled into screw-top Jars. and
can be carried in these to the picnic
grounds and the sandwiches made after
getting there, or the sandwiches can be
made beforehand and packed In crack
err boxes each kind In separate box.
Meat Lonves Delicious.
Beef loaf or veal is nice sliced cold.
and can he used In sandwiches 1t can
be easily carried to the picnic in
box, and If liked ii can be taken to the
picnic hot by placing 1t in impro-
vised nreless cooker, made out of
pastehoard box. Have the loaf good
and hot. wrap with hot white cloth.
then with hot iannels. and place in
a pasteboard box well lined with waxed
paper. Put on lid and wrap in several
thtcknesses of newspaper. This will
keep several hours hot as when put IN.
Many persons associate pie with the
picnic lunch: but anyone who has had
much experience along this line need
not be tsld that pies are better left
at home. Instead one can make little
tarts, which Will carry much easier.
The shells can be baked in pastry pa MS
and packed one inside of another In a
box, and the sauce Of fruit filings car
ried in a jar, and then the tarts can be
filled In when setting out the lunch.
Fruit bars or any small fruit cakes will
acceptably take the place of pies.
Cakes baked in sheets can be nicely
carried in boxes lined with waxed pa
per they should At in closedly Small
cakes are especially handy for the pie
