The above can evidently be increased by having
cold dislies of various kinds on the sideboard ; or if
less is required, a dish of meat or the savoury may
be suppressed. But the above may serve as types.
Lastly there are shooting lunches and what, for
want of a better word, may be known as basket
lunches. Concerning the former a few words have
already been said, but it may not be out of place to
enter a protest against the tendency to turn the
shooting lunch into a kind of picnic, of more or less
ornate character, which, with due submission, it may
be observed is a mistake. A rich, heavy lunch,
differing only by the fact of its being eaten in the
open from the same meal at home, is seldom, if ever,
a good preparation for a successful afternoon shoot.

and, generally speaking, the shoot, and not the
Inneh, is the raison d'etre o£ the outing, and the
first point to be considered. Such decorative meals
may therefore be left out of the question. Ex-
perience has taught me that what a man in the
turnips or on the hill likes best is something of this
kind : A packet of neatly-cut sandwiches, a good
slice each of bread and of cheese, a slice of cake or a
biscuit, according to individual taste, and lastly
some fruit. Attention must be paid to the following
points : hunger will certainly be present, but thirst
IS, at all risks, to be avoided, for no matter how
harmless and sinq^le the beverages, the mere fact of
drinking anythiiuj interferes with straight shooting.
Cold tea d la Russe, for which directions have been
given, is the most generally popidar non-alcoholic
drink, but, if sent, mind a fresh lemon, a sharp
knife, and some loaf sugar is included with it. Each
sportsman must be a rule unto himself as to the
contents of his flask, but always see that in the
lunch basket a small phial of spirit (whiskey,
brandy, &c.,) is provided in case of accidents, and
bear in mind that fortuitous burns and streams are
usually fully as dangerous as the ju'etty little brook
that tempted the enchanted fawn in days of old.
Lastly there are the school lunches to be provided
In these days of advanced education the strain is so
great that the luncheon interval should always be
carefully provided for, and this is a point on which
too little stress is laid in many schools, girls’ schools
especially. In many lemonade (botth d), milk, and
water are, possibly, supplied as liquid refreshment.
