POINTS FOR THE PICNIC
Don’t leave anything to any male member of the party; lip’s bound to forget it. Remember to map out your route before starting. Don’t forget tlie tin-opener. Don’t take any crockery that is at all valuable.
Don’t load yourself up with innumerable paper bags and baskets; it is better to take a small suitcase
If you are using a thermos flash, don’t 'forget to cork the glass container tightly. Don’t take too much food. Remember that you’ve either got to bring it all back again, or throw it away. Variety in the matter of foodstuffs is the keynote of success when organising picnics. Walking slick, knives, and string arc always useful
Take plenty of fruit. Don’t make up your mind to go twenty miles and then have to make do with a make-shift site when teatime comes, to find you’re only half-way there
Don’t dress up too much for any picnic. And, finally, remember that “pernickety” has nothing to do with a picnic!
