One important detail connected with school luncheons must not be
forgotten. It is that the luncheon-basket or sandwich-tin must be kept
sweet and pure. It ought to be scrubbed out frequently, and every day as
soon as it is brought home it should be emptied, cleansed, and put, wide
open, in an airy place, to prevent its becoming close and musty. If
crumbs or little pieces of fat are allowed to work their way into the
crevices, they will surely impart an unpleasant, stuffy odour to the
food which is put into the basket afterwards, and the annoyance will not
easily be got rid of. Unless scrupulous cleanliness be observed in
everything connected with the preparation of food, delicacy and
refinement must be regarded as entirely out of the question.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
MISCELLANEOUS.

be filled in by hand with the names of the guests and the dishes.
X. Y. Z.--Press the flowers in blotting-paper, which should be
frequently changed.
