Meals for Picnic or Camp
Ways to Dine Pleasantly on Lawn, in

Porch at Home.

quickly and without frequent run
ming back and forth, is largely a
matter of planning. Large trays help
in clearing the table after a porch or
garden meal. A tea wagon is useful
in holding dishes and acts as a buffet.
For frying purposes in the open,
take a heavy iron pan with a tight
fitting cover and long handle. A

digging baked potatoes out of the hot

For Quick Preparations.
For pickup -and-Start menus, keep
a stock of groceries on your picnic
shelf Here are a few suggestions:
Take meat, for instance. You can get
anything canned, from a whole bone
less ham or chicken cooked for serv-
ing. to turkey. chow mein. lobster,
and SO on. and if you would like fish
fry, but don't care for fishing. order

Just as they come from the package,
and are safely carried in a cold vac

coffee, dressing for salads, spreads for
sandwiches, ready cooked meats and
vegetables, cakes and beverages, all
come packaged and bottled and can
ned. ready for the picnic kit. In ad-
dition, there is every kind of equip
ment, from sandwich papers to port
able cookers, to make picnic fare as
digestible and tasty as the meals we
serve in our dining room.
What Kind of Picnic?
There is the hearty, ready-to-cook
kind of picnic, the ingredients as
sembled in the home kitchen and the
cooking done at the picnic grounds.
and there is the -the-can menu
for eaSy-going picnickers who like
to pick up a basketful of things and
start at almost any time.
Then there is the basket-to-plate
affair. either cold or a hot-cold
combination, when everything is pre-
pared at home and carried in vacuum
bottles and jars and electric cookers
to the picnic grounds. With the
basket-to-plate picnic you can enjoy
perfect leisure once the food is packed.
With the home-prepared lunch all
you have to do is choose a desirable
location, open up the hamper and

YllH q certain amount OF
organization and not very
wv much expenditure of time
or money, almost every
one may dine very pleas
antly on the lawn, in the garden, by
the roadside or on the beach. PicniCS
need an organizer, Just as a meal
needs menu planner, some one who
can pick a shady spot. that the sun
isn't going to move to when every one
is eating.
Picnics are usually combined with
motoring. Although the roadside is
lined with refreshment stands, it is
often pleasanter to take a byroad,
perhaps beside brook and. unpack-
ing the tea basket and the canned
heat outfit, serve afternoon tea.
Today We plan the picnic meal as
carefully as any other meal remem-
bering, of course, that outdoor appe-
titeS are keen. There is no fussing
over a hot stove. Instead, we pick up
the telephone and call in good things
from all sources. There will be fewer
dishes to wash if you dine out. and
little laundry work since paper nap
kins and a washable oilcloth may be
used instead of table linen. A can
opener, a bottle opener, and cork
screw are important aids. You can
buy all three in one piece. Of course,
you will need a basket something big
and roomy.
Food prepared in advance allows
the hostess to be really a hostess
without her mind on the kitchen, her
face heated and flushed with worry,
and her feet tired by tedious tramp
ing. Sometimes the picnic idea is
spontaneous and it is well to be pre-
pared A basket equipped for two is
often a great convenience. 1t should
have plates and cups and saucers OF
unbreakable composition, because
they are light. Stock the basket with
tea balls, a can of coffee boulllon
paste and a box of crackers.
If you have room for it in your
car. or if you are picnicking on
beach not far away from the house.
by all means take folding card table
covered with a washable fabric. 1t is
light, and put on a fairly level sur
face. it will do much to reduce the
danger of Spilling food. There is a
large electric casserole which has
three divisions and you may pack your
salad, putting the lettuce leaves in one
division and the salad in a covered
can. and sandwiches packed in still
another. When the casserole is
opened. this cold meal will be just as
fresh as if it had come from the re-
frigerator.

THE question of variation of the
meat dish always puzzles the
business woman who must
l. choose her meals in reference
to the time involved in the
preparation. She naturally depends
on steaks and chops and ham, all of
which can be broiled or panbroiled in
short time. These are among the
more expensive meats, and for this
reason she varies them with the we'll
known hamburger steak, which may
be very good or very poor. depending
upon the way it is seasoned and
cooked. Nothing is more unappetiz-
ing than dry, poorly seasoned cakes
of steaks. However, there are many
ways in which it may be prepared so
that the family will enjoy it rather
than eat it with resignation.
I wonder if you have ever prepared
meat balls in the Swedish fashion,
which is not only unusually good but
which is also very economical. An
other recipe in which I like to use
chopped meat is known as baked
hamburg. The meat is we'll seasoned
with onion. bit of catSup if you like,
as we'll as the usual salt and pepper.
1t is made into large, fiat cakes, and.
as the old-fashioned recipe says,

mustard and black with pepper" A
few onions may be sliced on the top
before it is put in hot oven and
baked for IS or 20 minutes.

My Neighbor Says:

When making cabbage salad
cut the cabbage and put it
