ant If not exciting entertainment for the
Youngsters; and the Older members OF
the picnic party can pass the Gay III
Iounging under unaccustomed trees IN
canoeing or trampins OF IN deVlslng
games and sports to take the piace Oh
firecrackers and toy cannon in the rem
iniscent minds of the children.
The picnic luncheon can be as simple
Aor as elaborate as the taste of the hostess
brescribes. If there is an automobile to
transport the luncheon. and servant to
spread it forth, the elaborate luncheon
Is, Of course, desirable. If the picnicking
4 place must be reached by trolley or foot
the simple lunch that can be packed
in pasteboard boxes. to be thrown away
later, is better.
For the more elaborate luncheon cold
meats. salads, rolls, sandwiches, plenty
of fruit jellies, cakes and iced and hot
drinks can all be served in abundance
For the simpler luncheon there should
of course, be sandwiches. Cold meats
too, can be sliced and neatly carried In
waxed paper, or they can be placed be-
tween slices of bread in the form OF
sandwiches. Salads can be wrapped In
individual waxed paper packages.
Such rst-quenching fruits as oranges
4, and peaches are the best for the sim
pie picnic. And cakes and cookies, OF
course, must have a place. The beVer-
ages depend on the location of the pic
mic. If there is pure water at hand,
coffee can be made Then there are
always eggs, reliable and tempting.
Some of the best picnic lunches are
prepared on the spot-of bacon brolled
roasted in the ashes. Of chops broiled
on a sheet of slate propped up on
stones over fire. of berries picked
from neighboring blackberry bushes.
Whatever the lunch. It should pc pc
dainty, tempting and adequate. Its
nature must be determined by the loca-
tion of the picnickins spot and the means
of getting there.
