can't do any better, hnvo it on tho
porch or In tho back yard; it is n
chango and rest Many peoplo havo a
screened porch and use It for a dl

(weather.
Don't cumber the picnic basket with
berry dishes as the wooden or paper

may throw them away after using. Pa
per napkins, will savo work nnd nro
'Just tho thing for such occasions. Car
ry silver that Is not bo choice, that
if a piece wcru lost tho day would bo
cpolled of its full mcasuro of enjoy
luent. Sandwiches were especially Invent
ed for lunches, and nothing Is moro
appropriate for tho picnic. They may
lie made of whlto, graham, rye, brown
or wnoie wheat
bread. A condwlch
which is not strictly speaking, a sand-
wich, for It has no filling, may bo
mode of whole wheat bread In which
cupful or nut meats of walnuts has
been added when mixing. Cut in
dices and buttered, it makes a most
lasty sandwich.
, There aro fillings of all kinds,
chopped olives, grated choose, sea
touiHl with sweet red peppers,
chopped, green peppers with mayon
naise, lettuce, cucumber, meats of all
kinds, and then the sweet sandwiches
.which the children all cry for, mado of
grated maplo sugar, honey, or simply
brown sugar with a few chopped nuts,
makes a very good filling. These aro
always buttored as are most sand
wiches beforo putting on the filling.

Rutsqll Sandwiches.
Take an equal amount of cold
boiled chicken and boiled tongue, the
meat of a dozen olives and six hard
cooked eggs; mix all together and
chop them as fine as possible. When
about the consistency of powder add
mayonnaise to make a paste, and
spread on buttered bread.

Ono of tho nicest of theso fillings
Is made by nddlng chopped nuts nnd

An especially rich nnd dollclous

Laundry Day for

Ono day Yeoman Miller was wrltinn

Tho buglo called "collision quarters,"
ana no dropped nls plpo and started
to tho station on tho run. Miller, re
turning to his "ditty box," which had
been doing duty as a writing dosk.
was surprised to find tho plpo almost
empty. It was full when ho went to
quarters. He took a look about and
saw all tho men had tholr pipes. When
ho looked at tho monkey it did not
look at him in the cyo as It usually
did, but turned its head in a guilty
manner. Yeoman Miller examined the
plpo and found tho marks of little
sharp teeth on the reed stem.
Next day, after catching tho monkey
smoking his plpo again, Yeoman Mil
ler decided that "Chlco" 'had to hav
a pipe, and so he mado him ono from
an ivory nut. with a reo4 stem.
Some of tho young apprentices
thought it was cute to seo "Chlco"
smoke cigarettes, and they taught him
the use of tho "coffin nail." From then
until his death ho was rarely seen

"Bo careful, young man." said tho
recruiting officer, as ho espied a new
recruit concealing a "homo-mado" bo
hind his chair, after hearing the talo
of "Chlco," "or you will meet tho samo

"Well, I haven't ono. Come to tho

Tho youth scraped together tho
necessnry 70 cents befojo tho chauf

"By tho way," ho said, after ho had
