*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!
One reason for the nation-wide
popularity of picnics is that 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 f . . and dessert—it’s as
simple as that!
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 Sauee.
2 pounds ground beef
% cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
% pound American cheese
Ya 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 codking 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 Sauee.
% cup chili sauce
Va 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.
f
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 cook 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
15 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
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.

Here are more let's-have-a-picnic
suggestions:
Cole Slaw.
(To M?ke “On Location’*)
3 cups finely shredded cabbage
% 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.
Add more salt if necessary.
Old-Fashioned Potato Salad.
4 cups diced, boiled potatoes
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Ya cup finely minced sweet pickle
2 to 4 tablespoons minced onion
% cup pimiento, chopped
Salt, pepper and celery salt
1 cup cooked salad dressing
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Mix all ingredients together light
ly. Let stand, chilling, for at least
1 hour. If desired,
the onion and po
tato may be mar
inated over night
in french dress
ing before being
mixed with other
ingredients.
Variations: Meats, such as diced
tongue, ham or frankfurters may be
added to the standard recipe, and
seasonings of chives and green pep
per may be included.
Marshmallow-Graham Cracker
Dessert Sandwich.
For each person, allow % 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, fill 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.
• • •
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
Yt teaspoon powdered mace
Yz cup whipping cream
Melt chocolate in top of double
boiler. Add sweetened condensed
milk and stir over boiling water for
five minutes until mixture thickens.
Add water and mix well. Chill thor
oughly. Add mace. Whip cream to
custard-like consistency and fold
into chilled mixture. Pour into
freezing pan. Place in freezing unit
of refrigerator. After mixture ia
about half frozen, remove from re
frigerator. 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

BROADENING CHRISTIAN
HORIZONS: THE ANTIOCH
MOVEMENT
LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:19-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—For I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that be-
lieveth; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek.—Romans 1:10.
Scattered abroad! As the flying
sparks and embers from a fire which
is wildly beaten will light many new
fires, just so persecution of the early
Christians sent them abroad and
established new centers for the
preaching of the gospel. Verse 19
of our lesson connects with Acts 8:4.
The ministry of Philip in Samaria
was paralleled by that of others in
Phenice, Cyprus, and now in Anti
och. That great city was not far
from Jerusalem, but it was far from
God. A mighty city, rich in trade,
it was also deep in all kinds of sin;
but there it pleased God to establish
a great center of Christian testi
mony. God loves to do new things
(see, for example, II Cor. 5:17; Isa,
43:19; Ps. 33:3; Rev. 21:5).
I. A New Church (w. 19-21).
What a splendid church it was!
Here in the midst of the most evil
surroundings the sweet flower of
Christian faith grew, as it so often
does.
It was a church built upon a faith
ful testimony by God’s chosen wit
nesses “preaching the Lord Jesus’*
(v. 20). Their names are not noted,
but their message is, and its blessed
results. It was a gathering place
for all people—Jews and Gentiles.
The disciples from Jerusalem
preached at first only to the Jews,
but God sent others (v. 20), who
preached His grace to the Gentiles.
Note also that the Antioch church
was a living witness. ‘‘The hand of
the Lord was with them”—little
wonder then that “a great number
believed and were turned to the
Lord.” Your church—and mine—
might learn much by studying the
church at Antioch.
II. A New Fellowship (w. 22-26).
The genius of Christianity is fel
lowship. Those who have a religious
belief which makes them exclusive
—not willing to fellowship with other
Christians—do not truly represent
their Lord.
When the church at Jerusalem
heard the good news, they sent Bar
nabas to help the new converts and
establish fellowship. He was the
ideal man to send, for “ ‘he was a
good man.* It is far more impor
tant that a man be good than that
he be brilliant if he is to edify young
converts. He was ‘full of the Holy
Ghost.’ He was also ‘full of faith,’
and no man that is not, need under
take the work of instructing and
developing young converts, especial
ly converts from heathenism so dark
as that in Antioch. He was free from
the love of gold (4:36, 37). He was
free from personal ambition and
jealousy in his work (w. 25, 26). He
was very sharp-eyed to see the sin
cerity and promise of a young con
vert (9:27). ‘When he was come,
and had seen the grace of God, (he)
was glad’ ” (John W. Bradbury).
Into this new fellowship of life and
service the gracious and generous
Barnabas brought a new evangelist
—Saul, God’s prepared man for this
hour.
But we have another new thing
in our lesson, one of great impor
tance.
HI. A New Name (vv. 26-30).
Christian, the beautiful name of
those who follow Christ was first
used at Antioch. It may have held
a measure of contempt (see Acts
26:28; I Pet. 4:16), but it was a
remarkably suitable name for those
who had come out of paganism now
to live, in their old surroundings, a
new life, a separated life, the Christ
life.
This name “combines Jewish
thought with Greek and Latin lan
guage, and thus, like the inscription
on the cross, bears witness to the
universality of Christianity as a re
ligion for the whole world. The idea
of ‘Christ’ (Messiah) is Jewish; the
substantive ‘Christ’ (Christos) is
Greek, and the adjectival termina
tion ‘ian’ (-ianusl is Latin . . .
This new name was intended to in
troduce and mark the difference be
tween Jews and Gentiles on the one
hand, and those who. whether Jews
or Gentiles, were foilovrers of Jesus
Christ . . . The term ‘Christian’
evidently points to the Person of
Christ, and to those who are asso
ciated with Him as His followers. It
implies and involves union «md close
association with Christ” (W. H. Grif
fith Thomas).
Those believers at Antioch not
only bore the name, they practiced
the life of Christ. Next Sunday we
shall study their activity for Christ,
for in that city began the great mis
sionary movement which goes on to
our day. In our lesson today we
have another practical expression of
their faith. They gave of their
means, “every man according to his
abilities,” to meet the need of their
'ew-found Jewish brethren in Judea
Smartly-Styled Knitted Clothes
Ideal for Town, Country Wear
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
I/' NITTED 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 re vers 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 coma-
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.

Underbrim Flowers
' .-j£-y-AviM*AvvCwX-
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
To Predominate in Summer
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 first-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 realistio
colors.
