suggestion for Picnic Luncheon

70 the Editor Of Wondn's Pa0e:
about fourteen and sixteen years old on a picnic
he1t Saturday I would appreciate 1t very much
some menu could use for the day; also some
Should have a chaperon, as / myself am
only seventeen7 s. v M.
Veal loaf is easily carried on an outing
Also serve deviled eggs cucumber and let
tuce sandwiches, marmalade and nut sand
wiches olives, pickles, cream cheese pound
cake, fruit, homemade fudge or caramels
and cream mints II you have several
vacuum bottles at your disposal you can
carry hot coffee, chocolate or tea, or cold
fruit punch.
To make the veal loaf buy three pounds
OF veal and put this. together with one
quarter OF pound Of salt pork. through the
meat chopper; add one cupful fine bread
crumbs, one tablespoonful butter, three
beaten eggs TO which little cream has
been added, one teaspoonful pepper three
teaspoonfus salt and two teaspoonfuls pow-
dered sage. Mix thoroughly, form into a
loaf and bake In mold two and a half
hours, basting with butter and water When
done remove from oven, let cool and keep in
Ice box until ready to pack for the picnic.
To make the deviled eggs boil as many
rs are needed until hard; when cold remove
the shells, cut the eggs carefully in half,
scoop out the yolks without breaking the
whites and rub them to a paste with little
olive oil, vinegar mustard, paprlka salt TO
taste and a few drops Of Tabasco sauce,
Form the paste thus made into balls, put
them back into the whites and ht the halves
together. Hold them together by running a
toothpick through them. Wrap each egg in
waxed paper They can be eaten with
mayonnaise II preferred.
The cucumber and lettuce sandwiches are
made with whole-wheat bread, using crisp
lettuce leaves and thin slices OF cucumbers
moistened with mayonnRise and seasoned
with salt, paprika and onion Juice. Use
blanched and chopped almonds and walnut
meats mixed with orange marmalade and
spread between thin slices OF white bread
or crackers for the marmalade and nut
sandwiches.
I think that girls Of the age you mem
tion would probably enjoy more active
games out OF DOORS such as baseball bean
bag, etc. Then there are a number OF bal
ancing feats which are good fun to try
Have each girl stand on one foot with her
eyes closed for sixty seconds; this sounds
easy, but is almost impossible to do. Then
make each one stand with feet together
hands straight down at sides and eyes
closed for three minutes. Also hop sixty
times slowly on one foot without letting
the heel OF the foot touch the ground at all
For q sitting-down game play ''the picnic
basket" directions for which are given In
Mary Dawson's Game Book Let all sit in
a circle. One begins by saying, Into the
picnic basket put--a roast chicken; the
girl At her left then repeats this and 20 II
her own contribution, as for Instance, Into
the picnic basket / put a roast chicken
and o dozen oranges" Each girl as her
turn comes repeats this. adding 10 IL her
own contribution, and by the time Il has
gone the rounds once Il will be lauehable to
try 20 remember all the things
You would be wiser to have a chaperon.
