HUME is the month Of picnics and
class suppers and all sorts Of
delightful, out infor-
mai party times. That you may al
ways be ready even for the most inn
prompiu picnic keep a picnic shelf
in the pantry. Simple sandwiches and
foods taste good in the open air so
plain your shelf with the idea Of
eliminating fusslng.
Here are some suggestions as to
how to maintain a simple, easy and
at the same time satisfying picnic
standard.
Choose your supplies with the fam
lily tastes I'm mind
Have a good assortment Of sand
wich filings. Hard boiled eggs, sew
eral kinds OF sandwiches. cookies,
fruit and coffee make a picnic that
pleases every body. Canned meats
and fish can be used in a salad or
as sandwich filings
A bottle of plain olives and one
OF stuffed olives always help out.
Pimento cheese, baked beans. peas,
peanut butter, olive butter and a
bottle of salad dressing will be found
useful.
Keep oiled paper. cups, plates,
napkins, salt and pepper shakers In
the lunch kit or basket
Mems for Picnics-
Potato salad. corntd beef sand
witches. plain bread and butter
sandwiches. cocoanut cookies, straw
berries. coffee.
June evenings are at to be cool
so hot coffee in the thermos bottle
win be better than lemonade. There
are always potatoes in the house and
iii they aren't cooked boil them with
the skins on and peel them while
warm. And there's always an onion
But II there isn't a cucumber use
+pickled cucumbers cut in thin slices
and add a hard-boiled egg or two.
My own Recipes.
Baked beans, lettuce sandwiches
stuffed olive sandwiches, cottage
cheese and marmalade sandwiches
oranges, hiclgorynut macaroons. tea
With baked beans a salad is moi
necessary If the sandwiches are
highly Favored and moist. Tea and
orange combine better than coffee
and oranges.
Salmon salad, plain bread and but
ter sandwiches. potato chips ginger
snaps, bananas, coffee.
