PICNIC FARE.

When preparing for a picnic one has to think of the things that will pack into as small a space as possible and that will be "Tight in weight . The cardboard jars in which cream is delivered are nice to carry blotter, salad-dress-ing and such-like things. Do not overlook the salt, pepper, corkscrew, and. matches. If taking tea or coffee in thermos flasks do not add the milk, but carry it separately; it goes much farther this way, and ithe flavour is much better. Sandwiches for picnics are much more substantial than the dainty trifles served at afternoon teas, and it is a good plan to prepare three or four different kinds, and, wrap some of each variety in grease-proof envelopes. A good choice would be ham and veal, egg and cress, tomato, walnut. The tomato sandwiches helpi to quench thirst, as do any salad variety, and the meat, cheese or nut sandwiches are nourishing. For fillings that are a little out or the ordinary try walnuts ground to a paste and moistened with mayonnaise, or thinly sliced hothouse cucumbers, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of salt. A piquant filling for a rolled sandwich is watercress sprinkled with French dressing.
