The Way Dad Looks at The Proposition to Hold a Picnic.

When mother and the youngsters aslr father to go with them for a little picnic party, there is one kind of ’em who says this: “What’s the use of going awayi to a picnic. Throw the dining-room table out and spread the sinner on the floor, then let all the flies in, throw some dust on the sandwiches, sprinkle a few ants in the water, turn the hose on ourselves to remind us of the rain which invariably comes when we are fartherest from shelter and cap it off by crowding in the pantry and hanging to the shelves for the usual time it takes to ride home on the car. Nix on any picnic for me!”
