CHILDREN'S LUNCH.

It is sometimes necessary for children to take their lunch with them to school, when the school is eo far away from home that it makes a journey home in tlio middle of the day difficult. Mothers ehould try to vary this meal as much as possible. In a vacuum flask, thin soup, such a» chicken or veal broth, can be carried sometimes, hot milk or cocoa on other days. Occasionally, a meat pastie may be included, and hard-boileVl eggs are easy to carry and nourishing. Fruit, of course, rilust always be in the lunch packet, one or two apples, an orange or banana, a pear or a few grapes. Plain chocolate and chocojato-covered biscuits are nourishing and beloved by all children. Older boys and girls may like plain biscuits, buttered, and a little packet of cheese sometimes. Plain, home-made cakes arc, of course, always popular with children, and small packets of roisins and nut.s are nourishing. The basis of the lunch will generally be sandwiches. Vary the fillings—tomato, egg, cress, home-made potted meat, cheese, honey, jam—are good. Use good butter.
