Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Use plenty of oiled paper to wrap
sandwiches and cakes when packing
your picnic luncheon and pack snug
ly SO things won't shake.
Wrap every ten or dozen sand
witches in oiled paper and then IN
an old napkin. Then wrap in ordi-
nary wrapping paper. Sandwiches
packed in this fashion will be just
as fresh when opened after several
hours as if put up in a regular sand
wich box.
Hard boiled eggs should be she'll
ed and wrapped in oiled paper. Each
piece OF cake should be wrapped
separately and then all the pieces
wrapped again in oiled paper before
putting in a box or wrapping in a
napkin. When it to packing
the basket, fill up any empty n
or cracks with crumpled paper. And
as to sandwiches themselves, each
half of the bread should be lightly
buttered. This prevents the bread
from absorbing the filling.
Picnic sandwiches are not tea
sandwiches and the bread should not
be too thin or the sandwiches made
in two-inch squares.
