CONCERNING 81 VARIETIES.
one of the most popular forms of
entertainment in Topeka these days is
picnicking, which leads one TO observe
that there are picnics and pienics and
they differ widely in variety and spe-
cies. There are Sunday school pic
MICS with pies and pink lemonade) ard
weinis roasts and between the two are
many other stages OF the picnic. which
Mr. Webster describes as "a pleasur-
able excursion into the country" but
to which We are accustomed to add
the idea OF food.
There is the polite family kind OF
picnic where you take sandwiches
wrapped in oiled paper and salad in
dishes and ice cream and cake. and
YOU have a real table cloth spread on
the ground and cushions to sit on, and
real plates and glasses. IL takes most
Of half day to get ready for this
outing and It means much planning
ana conniving, and there is much dis
cussion OF the place to 20 and usually
everybody isn't happy. Then there is
the much famed steak roast" which
Is wilder In It's disposition and makeup
and harder. 1t doesn't take much
time to get ready for this, but in these
days II takes quite a heavy purse, for
the steak must be the best there is.
Tho party should be made up Of about
six good pals and there should be a
grill. a coffee pot. some potato chips
and candy and coolish evening with
all TO make it bowling success. Per-
haps the next step up or down. as
you may happen to look at II. is the
bacon bat" which takes even less
time to arrange for. In fact. IL seems
that the charm of a picnic increases
in direct proportion as the EFFORT in
getting ready for 1t decreases For
this latter kin1 of spree one must
choose their crowd carefully ana &C..
that there Is no one who CAM cod
eggs and bacon in buns in their hands
with enthusiasm and not be alsrnnSS

Here again the coffee pot is essential
Then there is the weinie roast ubtcL

And finally there is the real 1srx
