mixed with II any OF the things that
blend with the ham. This made a much
less expensive dish.
Brick chill has been used, sliced very
thin, and was considered good by the
devotees Of Mexican dishes.
There are no end of ways OF fixing
cheese in sandwiches or no end OF other
foods that will blend with cheese. It
should be made into a paste by grind
ing or mashing with knife. Pimen
toes, green peppers, capers, celery,
onions or nuts may be used with it.
Many OF the stores have chopped
olives and other things in bottles ready
to use.
lettWce. cucumbers and ripe tomatoes
make what is known as vegetable or
relish sandwiches.
Ot all, | believe that tomato sand
wiches are my favori,e. if made as fol
lows Cut fresh bread one eighth of an
inch thick, spread each slice with very
thick mayonnaiSe, On the lower slice
place thin slices of ripe tomato until
the bread is well covered. On the other
slice. spread thin layer of minced
tuna fish. Place leaf of crisp let
tuce on this and put the two together.
The combination is both pleasing 10
the taste and very satisfying Thin
slices OF cucumber may be used with
the tomato or with the dressing.
Potato chips are almost indispensable
to a picnic lunch, and can be purchased,
ready made, cheaper than they can be
made at home-and all OF that work
done by the factory.
Packing Is Real Art.
| One OF the real smart acts of the pic
mic lunch is the manner in which it Is
packed. A lunch that can be taken from
n basket several hours aiterjt ispacked
looking as tempting as when it wen,
into that basket is the work of art OF
some skilled person.
Each article should be wrapped in oil
paper, the iirmer foods being placed or
the bottom OF the basket and the soft
easily mashed foods on top
Use as few dishes as possible tha
must be carried back home. Who like,
, to carry a big basket of dishes hom,
! to be washed after the food ha, driec
on them Paper plates, cups and nap
kins are the sensible picnic utensils.
E Lemon juice may be swectened an,
sealed in a jar and used as it is wante,
in ice water. Strong tea extract ma
he sealed in jar and carried with yer
little trouble, then added to the ic
. water as the lunch is served
= Ice cream in cones is one OF the saw
ings OF dishes and labor AT nearl
:, every place where there may be pic
i mic, there will be ice cream cones I
sell. or factories will pack ice crear
, cones the same as other cream.
Suppose we say that all picnic lunche
\ should consist OF three kinds OF sand
witches, /. e., a meat, fresh vegetable
as tomato or cucumber, and a sweet, a
with jelly or preserve. Potato chips o
potato salad, A relish in the form o
pickles, olives or devled eggs. Fresl
fruit as bananas, oranges, plums o
pears An ice and cake or cookies an,
a thirst Quenching drink as lemonad
or iced tea.
This would seem to be a great dea
but the hours out of doors always whe
the appetite, and to be hungry at a pic
mic is the worst yet.
Some DOS about the picnic lunch =
Do buy everything possible for tn
lunch-trust the factory for once.
Do be as careful in the packing as il
the preparation.
Do plan to have a variety Of flavo,
and foods
DO plan so as not to have man
dishes or leit-overs to carry home.
Do go with the spirit that il is to b
day OF real fun and frolc no differ

The sooner into the can, the freshe
