My Jlynn CUamLeM ‘A PICNICKING WE WILL GO . . / (See Recipes Below) IT’S PICNIC TIME! The soft, sunny days of late May and early June tempt even the most conscientious to turn their backs on work, and, since "the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it," a picnic is the answer t One reason for the nation-wide popularity of picnics is thit they’re easy on the lady of the house . . . sliced tomatoes and green onions for salad . . . corn -on - the - cob, if a vegeta ble is wanted (“roasting ears” may be cooked in hot coals, allowing 20 minutes to a half hour for the best flavor) . . . taste-tempting cheeseburgers . . . lemonade, milk or coffee, or all three . . . and dessert—it’s as simple as thatl No dishes to wash afterward . . . no table linen for the laundry bag ... in fact, it’s almost a case of **no work and all play!" For that ’’something hot." which is a picnic "must,” I suggest plump, juicy cheeseburgers. If you’re pic nicking in the woods, your array of ’burgers probably won't look like the above picture, but they’ll no doubt taste the same. If you are entertaining the family or guests at a "back yard” supper, you can serve a large tray of cheeseburgers with assorted relishes, shoe-string pota toes, and tall glasses of milk or iced tea—they’ll love the combination! 'Cheeseburgers With Piquant Sauce. 2 pounds ground beef Vi cup milk 1 teaspoon salt Dash pepper Vi pound American cheese Vi pound butter 8 buttered buns Mix ground beef with milk, salt and pepper. Form 8 patties of meat about 3 inches in diameter. Cut 8 slices of cheese slightly smaller than size of meat patties. Melt butter in skillet and fry patties slowly for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning sev eral times during the cooking pe riod. Place on buttered toasted buns, spread with piquant sauce and top with a slice of cheese. (If pre pared indoors, place under broiler flame until cheese begins to melt). Serves 8. Piquant Sauce. % cup chili sauce V« cup pickle relish 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, or 1 tablespoon horseradish Mix all ingredients together well. If a more highly seasoned sauce is preferred, a teaspoon of Worcester shire sauce may be added. Or you may want to try fried eggs and hamburger, sandwich style. Cook hamburgers, set aside to keep hot. Fry eggs in same skillet, and serve eggs atop the hamburgers. LYNN SAYS: When hamburgers are included in the picnic menu, form the pat ties of ground meat, mixed with minced onion and seasoning, be fore you leave home. Place be tween waxed paper, and they’re ready to tcook when the fire is ready. Hash goes upstage when it is used as a bun filler. Scoop out rolls, (leftover or fresh) butter insides and pile full of savory cooked hash. Brush top with melted butter or gravy and bake IS minutes in moderate oven. Ideal for out-of-door suppers. To "dress-up” your picnic bill of-fare, there are colorful oilcloth and/or paper tablecloths and nap kins. You can find them designed to carry out nearly any theme i you so desire. And, as an added tip, in case you're planning to spread an oilcloth covering on the ground, attach it to a pair of old curtain rollers. They’ll pre vent even the strongest wind from blowing it away! Good news for picnic lovers are the new "lunch” kits. In them you'll find two one-quart vacuum bottles, plus a metal lunch box. The bottles carry their own cups, nested within their screw tops. The nicest thing, however, is the leg which converts the inside lid into a table. THIS WEEK'S MENU Bonfire Banquet •Cheeseburgers With Piquant Sauce Sliced Tomatoes and Green Onions Raw Carrots Potatoes or Green Com, Roasted over Hot Coals Cup Cakes, Pie (not Juicy, please) or Fruit Coffee or Milk in a Thermos, or Lemonade •Recipe given. Here are more let’s-have-a-picnlc suggestions: Cole Slaw. (To Make “On Location”) 3 cups finely shredded cabbage H cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons french dressing 2 tablespoons thick cream Mix the mayonnaise, french dress ing and cream together and mix into the cabbage just before serving.

Marshmallow-Graham Cracker Dessert Sandwich. For each person, allow Vt milk chocolate candy bar, 2 graham crackers and 2 marshmallows. Toast marshmallows, then place them on the chocolate candy that is on one graham cracker. Put the second graham cracker on top and it is ready to eat. The marshmallows should be hot and soft. • • • While your picnic group may be addicted to frankfurters in their own sweet, natural style, you might like to try a new trick. Split the large frankfurters down their middles, spread with rich, brown prepared mustard. All with chopped sweet pickle and turn them over to the “cooking department” to broil. They’ll prove ever so popular! Here's a good one to cook in a kettle: put in one potato for each person, and cover with water. When potatoes are almost tender, add frankfurters (enough for everybody) and heat thoroughly. With buttered buns, ketchup, and perhaps some fresh fruit for dessert, you have a simple and extremely tasty picnic meal. m m * If It’s Ice cream you’re planning for dessert, I’d suggest you use an ice cream freez er (little son can do the grinding before “starting” time), or pack re frigerator • made ice cream in dry ice. Here’s a rec ipe for a favorite that should please everyone. Chocolate Ice Cream. 1 square unsweetened chocolate % cup sweetened condensed milk % cup water Mr teaspoon powdered mace % cup whipping cream Melt chocolate in top of double boiler.

Scrape mixture from sides and bottom of pan. Beat until smooth, but not until melted Smooth out and replace in freezing unit until frozen for serving. Serves 6. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Smartly-Styled Knitted Clothes Ideal for Town, Country Wear By CHERIE NICHOLAS KNITTED fashions may ‘‘steal the show” this season, according to reports from style headquarters. The enthusiastic demand for knit ted things has gone beyond what even the most optimistic dealers an ticipated. Not for many seasons has there been such a tremendous vogue for handknits and for machine knits that look like handknits. The wonders that are being per formed in simulating, through knit ted technique, tweeds and patterned woolens seem almost unbelievable until one sees the 1941 knitted ap parel. In modern displays one comes across such stunning machine-knit models as are pictured in the ac companying illustration. The town suit shown to the left is a tailor knit of navy wool combined with a nubby white yarn. The horizontal stripes are cleverly worked through the long-torso fitted jacket. The navy skirt of nubby wool knit is simple in line—a wonderful light machine-knit fabric that gives body for good tai loring. White gloves and shirt and bright red straw hat make it crisp looking for town. The casual dress to the right, a clever simulated handknit in crayon beige, is one of the reasons for the new enthusiasm for knitted clothes. Fashioned on simple line, its yoke, sleeves and skirt introduce interest ing texture in ribbed effect. The bodice is closely knit and it is trimmed with metal buttons and belt. Hound’s tooth check in sage green and white and tricot cord, both ma chine knitted of lightweight wool, make a wonderful casual suit for the country, as shown centered in the group. The softly tailored one button jacket with deep revers has narrow yellow zephyr knit piping as its only trimming. This is a woolknit that won’t sag or stretch, the perfect costume for casual coun try wear. There is fine opportunity in the knitted realm to mix and match skirts and jackets. While most of the newer knit skirts have the pleat ed look there are also skirts with stylish gored flares. In jacket styles one finds endless variety. Wrist length tailored jackets, often with small notched collars, novelty gold buttons and four patch pockets, are leaders. One very stylish jacket is the shorter-than-wrist-length type, with slight easy blousing above a belted waistline. Stripes are often favored in jackets worn with plain skirts. In dresses a popular choice is wool chenille that looks as if it is hand knitted. Also a favorite is a collar less line plaid wool knit model with round neck, and buttons down to the waist. Jacket sweaters are very impor tant. They are interesting because of their novelty and variety. The cable stitch cardigan, which comes well down over the hips is a favorite type. Novel trims in endless variety add zest to the jacket mode. One of the interesting decorative touches is narrow fringe made of the yarn of which the jacket is knitted. Enthu siasm for things knitted is reflected in a revived vogue for swim suits that are fashioned most intriguingly, a favorite model being striped and styled along princess lines. Red and white is the most popular color com bination. (Released by Weitern Newspaper Union.) Underbrim Flowers Here’s how flowers are being worn on the underbrims of the new large summer hats. Those pictured are bright yellow. Milliners every where will tell you that there’s noth ing smarter than a touch of yellow on your chapeau. The biggest flow er news of all is that it is very smart to pin natural flowers on your hat. Lots of girls have put roses and even orchids, real ones, on their hats. The hat above is black felt, tied on with a black tulle bow. Fresh mimosa sprays are on the underbrim. The suit worn is black faille silk, with a snugly fitted jack et, over a Val lace and white batiste | blouse Nylon Dresses Nylon dresses are making their debut in the better-dress sections of leading stores. Daytime styles in clude afternoon types in navy with cape shoulders and finely pleated skirts. A model in black has an all-over shirred jacket. Evening styles, including dinner and more formal gowns, have crisp full skirts. Tissue-Like Crinkle Sheers ToPredominate inSummer The major trend is “sheers for summer.” There is a sheer char acter about most of the new sum mer fabrics. Perhaps this trend is most notable in the new tissue-like crinkle sheers. These come in dark as well as light flowery prints and therefore are practical, being wash able and ever so good looking. Cloque organdies in delicately flowered prints, marquisettes, tissue voiles, processed so as to be non wrinkable, are all on the flrst-in fashion fabric list. The topic-making conversation throughout style centers at the pres ent moment is black sheers for sum mer. Best-dressed women are voicing widespread favor for cos tumes done in black sheer. Per haps this is a natural reaction to the wild color extravaganza that has taken the world of fashion by storm. But whatever the reason, the fact remains that thin dresses and suits for summer are being given an earlier-than-usual promotion. Black sheers are referred to as "siren black," “black magic." Hats of black shirred net, some huge of brim, will be worn this sum mer. Milliners are also turning out handsome large hats made of ex quisite black lace. The vogue for black sheer is even extending to hosiery. Roses, Strawberries Vie For Popularity in Prints Roses and strawberries are con testants in the summer fashion picture. When you go “print” shop ping, keep your thoughts centered on roses and strawberries. It is an open question as to which is leading in the print mode The rose theme appears in every conceivable form from tiny sweet heart roses to huge American Beau ties. The same may be said of straw berries. The very newest prints play up the strawberry in realistic colors.

Human nature is strange; the head never swells till the brain stops grouing. One fellow to sidestep is the fellow whose I’s are too close together. The question is not when did civilization begin, but when will it. Even with the multitude of taxes, it’s easier to live within an income than to live without one.

Diner Turned the Tables On Conniving Couple Upon receiving his bill, the diner added it up and found that he had been overcharged $1. “How come?” he asked, looking sharply at the waitress. “Well, you see, sir,” she replied, “the cashier bet me half a dollar that you wouldn’t see it and I bet him you would. Just a friendly little wager.” With a smile the customer wrote something on the back of the bill, folded it, and said: “Take that to the cashier.” She did so, and on opening it the two were startled to read: “I’ll bet $5 I shall not be here when you get back.” And he wasn’t.

Do not dredge it with flour. • • • To prevent the sides of ice bags and hot water bottles from stick ing together in storage, sprinkle a little talcum powder inside them after they are thoroughly dried. * * * If washable curtains become rusted on the rods during damp weather, dampen the rust spots, cover with a thin coating of salts of lemon and let stand until stains disappear. If late in starting the roast for dinner sear it under the broiler while waiting for the oven to get hot. By the time the meat is nice ly browned the oven will be hot enough to continue the cooking. * • » Cut small mats from discarded felt hats and use them under vases, ornaments and book ends. They will prevent the scratching of polished furniture. If the felt is soiled clean by washing it in warm water and mild soap. says FRED SONNE Aerial photographer •‘j^/SsT Plus R*°niNSI "'"pgg’scdInflates thAVOlt of "•zztzz^i Powerful Necessity Necessity when threatening is more powerful than device of man.—Rufus.
