You'll enjoy your own picnic if you plan ahead and use pretty, work-saving helpers If everyone in your fam ily is looking forward to backyard picnics this Summer,, but you, you're probably dreading the marathon -race to and from the kitchen while setting up and cleaning up for the rest of the group. This year, invite yourself to every one of your picnics -- and with a little thoughtful prep­ aration and lots of energy -- and time-saving ideas -- you'll find yourself feel­ ing like your own guest of honor! Stash a mighty bucket of ice filled with soft drinks, juice and milk by the picnic table. This way, you'll keep your beverages icy cold without rotating icecube trays all day. "Outdoor" food has two characteristics: it's "fin­ ger" food and "fresh" food. Fill colorful Dixie Livingware paper plates and bowls with carrot sticks, celery, sliced green Picture-pretty, just like Mommy! Teach her Grooming is vital to fashion Every little girl wants to be just like Mommy and it's a smart mother who takes advantage of that fact to teach her daughter some vital grooming rou­ tines. Little girls are never too young to learn the importance of cleanliness and good health habits. When Mommy brushes her teeth regularly after each meal and encourages her daughter to do the same, chances are very good that the youngster will develop the habit. Children do learn by example. Mothers can also stress the importance of clean hands and well cared-for nails by having a joint manicure session. Mother, of course. Can give herself the full-fledged treatment complete with a fashion­ able dark nail polish. Young missy might like a coating of gleaming colorless polish to make her feel ever so grownup. Healthful hair and scalp habits are more good grooming routines moth­ ers can show their daugh­ ters. Regular thorough shampooing, brushing and scalp massaging can be done together. Mothers sometimes have difficulty in getting their children to keep their hair neat. The first way to solve this problem is by getting the child a good hair cut. Then some simple but ef­ fective setting techniques will help do the trick. Many mothers depend on "Scotch" hair set tape to tame both their chil­ dren's and their own hair as well. This gentle, pinked hair set tape is kind to both hair and skin and performs a host of setting tasks. Another area in which mothers can really get their little ladies on the right track is good posture. Seeing Mother walk straight and gracefully at all times is a much more effective means of teach­ ing good posture than the constant admonition, "Stand up straight!" In this era of women s lib *nd equality of the sexes, it's still lots of fun to be a girl -- especially a little girl who wants to grow up to be just like Mommy! • v PAGE 9-SUPPLEMENT TO THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER-FRI., MARCH 21. 1975 burger patties in advance -- then just thaw and slap on the grill when needed.
