Are you so self-sufficient that you require no fresh outlook, even though it be given by such a simple thing as a picnic? This page is devoted to the picnic idea. As toon as this -nation, as a whole, encourages the idea of taking its healthful diversions f.i the fresh air, it will forget its nerves. The bustle of the world can be forgotten out under the trees. AU members of the family will be benefited. Listen to this plea for. the picnic. Are you in a holiday humor, and are you in danger of having your plans blocked by a lack of time or money?

It Is a pity for men and women, kept more or less Indoors throughout the winter, and with much work to keep them In hou3 or office through the summer months; to mlsa the advantages of the summer season for spending as much time as possible in the open air.

In the . last few years much has been nald of the beneficial effects of outdoor sletiping; but there seems to be. a gen eral opinion Uiat this pleasure, together' with that of al fresco dining, are a pre rogative only of the rich. If sleeping outdoors means the building of a sleep ing porch or the purchase of a tent, thtro may be an economic reason for considering it a luxury; but there is no expense attached to the luxury of eating gut of doors, unless one chooses to croate it.

Molded Cereal Garnished With Fruit Any of the wheat or oat eereIa may le used and are -to be prepared the day before they1 are to be eaten. Then, when cooked, they should be turned into cups or very small molds, from which they cart be turned ' at breakfast time and garnished with any fruit desired, . for instance, fresh strawberries, blackberries or peaches. Cereal served in this form will be very much more ac ceptable during the warm -weather than when served hot.- Broiled Tomatoes and Scrambled ? Egg Select firm tomatoes, rather under than over ripe. Slice them thickly, dip them in melted butter or bacon fat. then. , roll in breadcrumbs and -broil in the gas oven, or, if hls is not convenient,' they nay b gently fried. Prepare the scram- section of the town, an outdoor supper; served in such restful surroundings would bring rest and comfort, such as would restore them to physical and mental activity for the next day's work. The continued heat of summer means a drain-on one's vitality, and any opportunities for counteracting this depletion of strength should be eagerly welcomed.. As much advantage as pos sible should be taken of the warm. Ions days of summer for open-air maals or picnics; not only because it is good for . us to- be in the open air as much as possible, but because variety and change are good for the family, both as a unit and as individuals, and savor is lent to the plainest meal by a change in the surroundings. Not only the health, but 'the appetite is Improved by lunching and dining out of doors, and the greater tho change effected in the surroundings the more beneficial the effect. The homeliest fare is eaten with an added zest when partaken of in the woods, as witness , the camper's Joy over bacon and flapjacks,, canned beans and bis cuits fare be would be sure to scorn at home. Children are, of course, first in their enjoyment of the picnic, many of ieir elders professing to enjoy far mo" a - meal served at home in a room de signed for the purpose, where ants and .bugs arid crawling things do not get mixed up with the food and have to be fished out of the lemonade. These objections to the picnic, Fover, isually come from V.-.c v'-.V.-r.s of an ill-ordered, poorly planned excursion, and are the result of a wretched man agement, which would be subject tc quite as- much, if not more, criticism if exercised within the sacred precincts of home.

The first requisite, whether for One or a hundred picnics, is a proper equip ment, and this once supplied, much care and work are saved on each occa sion when It is in use. Many people prefer boxes to a basket as a means of transporting the food, the advantage of the former being that it need not be carried home again; but the disad vantages of this plan are that rubbish Is hard to dispose of out of doors, and one would never wish to be guilty of the sin of leaving it about to spoil the place for the next comers. Besides this, there is the further objection of always having to acquire more boxes for each and every expedition. If the basket is decided upon, it will then come to a choice between one large or two smaller ones. The latter is better, being more easily carried and dividing the burden between the members of the party.

Spread 'this filling be tween slices of entire-wheat or graham bread. The recipes for this week are near ly all simple, ones, and a distinct ef ' fort has been made to 'arrange the menu so-as to have a little cooking: as possible, on . account of the prob- for tb carrying a surprising amount of food Ahd accessories. ' Wooden plates and paper napkins, as well as rolls of waxed paper, should be bought by the hundred and laid in at the beginning of the season. Either paper or enamel drinking cups may be used, while still further choice may be made- from aluminum or from the vari ous kinds of collapsible cups on the market. All are light and easy to carry. Aluminum spoons are both cheap and light; and if fortes are needed, they may also .be purchased in this ware. Whether or not a tablecloth is necessary is a matter for the house wife to decide for her own special case. If used, they should be, old ones saved for the purpose, so that 'if accident happens to them, the loss is not great. Paper tablecloths may be purchased for very little, and one housekeeper finds nothing so satisfactory for a tablecloth as a large square of white -oilcloth. A thermos or vacuum bottle Is invaluable for carrying hot tea or coffee or cold water or lemonade, keep ing the beverage at the proper tempera ture for many .hours. If a fire is to be built, coffee may be made, and In this case a coffee pot and 'can of coffee should toe carried; but this equipment, together with a pall for carrying water, usually adds so much to the weight of the whole as to be prohibitive. A small alcohol stove, with a large tincup for heating water, a small bottle of alcohol and a small package of tea or can of powdered cof fee will add to the pleasure of the person dependent for his enjoyment of a meal on a hot beverage, without add ing materially to weight or bulk. A small, box of sugar, a bottle for cream, a sharp knife for slicing lemon and a box o$ matches must all be added to . make the coffee or tea equipment com plete. There are various spoons, and tea balls which may be used for mak ing tea in the cup, or the required amount of tea leaves mijtie tied in a small cheesecloth square and tucked in one corner of the basket. Salt and pepper shakers of aluminum, with a piece of cotton batting tucked In the top to prevent their contents from be ing sifted all over the basket, should not.be forgotten. A patent jar or. bot tle that will not leak should be pro vided for syrup for making lemonade, and a tin pail or box. with tightly fit ting lid, will be found useful for car rying salad or baked beans. Sandwiches, each kind by Itself, should be wrapped in waxed paper, and hard boiled eggs, the fvhells rioved, should be wrapped individually. Waxed paper should be used freely to keep each kind of food from imparting Its flavor to the rest.

Fruit is, of course, abundant at this season, and should be utilized In the daily menu, so far as possible, while salads and tish may with advantage take the 'place of .meat to a certain extent. Fresh vege tables also should be served in abundance, so that the lack of meat will not be noticeable. Even at break fast we have arranged more than once for tomatoes to be served. Rice appears at one or two meals, and a. a this is so frequently poorly cooked, it may net be amiss to give a few general directions for its prep aration. In the first place, select the large grain Patna rice and see that it is thoroughly washed. To cook it have ready a large saucepan, half full of fast-boiling, salted water. Shake the rice gently Into this, a little at a time, so that the boiling of the water may not he checked. Cook uncovered 'from fifteen to twenty min utes, then take up' one or two grains and press them lightly between the ' thumb and &ngr. If perfectly tender, the rice is sufficiently cooked, but if not allow it to cook a minute or two longer and then test again. Next drain off every drop of water possible The sim plest thing is to turn, the rice into a colander and allow the water to drain 1 away. Of course, . this will be reserved for. future use in the making of soup, for a great deal of the goodness of the. rice h&s passed into the water. Now lay a cloth lightly over the rice in the colander arid allow it to steam for a few -minutes-' so as to dry thoroughly. Bvery grain should be separate and dis tinct, so that if a spoonful Is lifted, it aPlOTCl closely wrapped and placed In a card board box, to keep it In good condition. Joints of cold chicken should be wrap ped for individual serving, and h whole placed in a box. If sardines or potted Ash are taken, they may be opened at home, drained of the oil in which they are prepared, and packed In glass Jars or glasses for transportation. Salad may be prepared and packed in a glass Jar. with the dressing carried in a bottle by Itself, to be added at the last moment so that it may not deteriorate by stand-, ing. Pickles or olives may be carried In bottles In which they were purchased, and a good, substantial corkscrew should not be forgotten" in the equip ment Cakes and fruit should also be wrapped well to prevent loss of flavor and crushing. " As to food, sandwiches, of course, hold first place. White, graham, entire wheat and brown bread may be used for them, and the variety of fillings is endless Cold, chopped meats, mixed to a paste, with a little cream or salad dressing, cheese paste, potted fish, finely chopped bard-boiled eggs. Jam and Jelly, chopped nuts, peppers and pimentos, dried fruit, chopped and mixed with chopped nuts and orange Juice to a paste all these separately or in any combination will of fer endless variety. The bread should be cut thin, the crusts removed, and be sparingly buttered and the finished sandwich cut In dainty shapes, each va riety wrapped by itself. Nut bread or brown bread, date or raisin loaf, sliced thin and buttered, or made into sandwiches with cream cheese, are almost as acceptable and quite as satisfying as those made with meat. Cold meats, including veal loaf, the usual standby of picnics; cold chicken in Joints, meat, fish or potato salad, as well as those made of vege tables, in any one of a thousand com binations, all add variety to the lunch basket without materially adding to the work of preparation. TtuH salads, also, are welcome, and baked beans are both hearty and appetizing. Meat turnovers, a round of pastry, one-half of which is covered with a spoonful of well-seasoned creamed meat, the other half of the paste turned over the meat, and the whole well baked; and individual meat or chicken pies are both good additions to the lunch basket, although they re quire ra-ther more work in preparing. Hard-boiled or stuffed eggs, the latter combined with anchovy paste, chopped olives, salad dressing, or in any other f 'combination, are always liked, and stuffed tomatoes filled with chopped celery or cucumber are appetising, if somewhat messy" to eat. As to fruit, berries, carefully prepar ed, or sliced peaches may be carried in a glass Jar, with the sugar added to FROM will fall hack into the dish lightly ass flakes of falling snow. Instead of in one solid lump, like a snowball, this latter,, unfortunately, being the way in which lt Is most often served at bur tables. Cereals for summer use should be selected with judgment and should con sist of the lighter and less heating varieties. Oatmeal, for Instance, as a general thing is 'better left for the colder months, its place being taken by the flaked grains or by some of the wheat or rice preparations of which there are now so many In the market. A generous portion of these, served with plenty of ood sweet cream, together with fruit, will make a good breakfast -for those whose employment is seden tary, even though meat may not appear at all on the -breakfast menu; while for lunch, or even for supper occasionally, crisp flakes, served again with cream, will be appreciated by the little folks. Fortunately, we are at last coming to realize the food value of cream and to look upon it more as an article of dally fare than was the case a few years ago, when the careful housekeeper she wno had to count her dollars if not her dimes felt that cream was only to be used as a luxury. If, indeed, she did not consider it almost an extravagance. Just at this season we have such an abundant supply of fruits from which to choose that they should be served frequently and generously, and there is no better way or using them than fresh, as they come from vine or bush, fully ripened by the sun, yet not so overripe as to possibly cause any Intestinal dis turbance, for they are better than If made up .into fancy desserts with the addition of starchy materials, cane sugar, etc Even so, and ' although It may seem a long step from the sunshine of 'July to the chill of winter, some preparation must be made for preserves and canned fruits, and if lust a few jars are prepared at a time the tasa will be a pleasure rather than lahor. Es pecially does this apply to tine preserves; for Instance, a few strawberries may. have been left from those served at a meal, and, while the day may be hot . and the good housemotner cuslnclined to spend much time over the stove, those few strawberries, with the addi tion of a proportionate allowance of sugar, can readily be converted into one or two glasses of preserve. They will ' cook themselves while the breakfast dishes are being washed and put away, and the jar or two of preserves made occasionally will soon make a good showing in the store closet. Then, too. Instead of preparing jellies 4n quantity, . why not just cook the fruit long enough to allow the juice to flow freely, bring this to boiling point - and place It in large-mouthed jars, reserving the final cooking process with sugar until the : days are cooler and one feels more in - the mood for cooking? The jelly will he just as good indeed, some may thtnlc It better if a little juice 4s cooked up st ' a time -with sugar and the jelly used . while still freshly made. Certain it is that the whole house will be kept oool . er in. summer time where the preserving; bugbear is at least partially eiimmaieu. I ll J rre y If Commissary :. . , DepsdureTTf-j. I V, i bring out the Juice. Pineapple ! also good this way, but fruit so served re quires extra dishes. Peaches, bananas, plums and grapes are all, good addition. Cakes should be of the loaf varisty, or in cookies or little cup cakea Rich, frostlngs and soft fillings should be avoided for the picnic table, and layer cakes are better left out altogether for this reason. Unfrosted cup cakes, choo olate cakes with a nut meat pressed in the . top before being baked. Jumbles, cookies, glngersnapo, a plain sponge or feather cake, or a loaf of dark cake made with raisins and currants and spices, are much more easily carried and make a. better appearance on the pio nio board than do the more elaborate varieties. Crackers and a jar of potted cheese or cream cheese are preferred by many people to cake and may be substituted occasionally for a change. Candies also satisfy the craving for a sweet and save the work of preparing cake. Many more additions may be made to the plcnio menus where a wagon or au tomobile Is provided for carrying the supplies. Ice cream and hot dishes being added at will; pieces of Ice may be car- tied for the preservation of milk and cream and butter, and a tireless cook er may carry safely within It a elam' chowder or other hot, appetizing dish. For the average family, out-of-door' upper, however, enough variety may be had all summer without resorting to these last few suggestions.
