LUNCH-BOXES 



95 



The shallow case, which rests on a slide, over the 

 large boxes, should be 7 inches deep outside, and 

 divided as shown. Plates, with napkins between 

 them, are in one side, dishes 

 in the other, tumblers in the 

 places made for them in the 

 centre. A large division holds 

 glass pitchers and one or two 

 table-cloths, and a tray, fitting 

 on top of the tumbler compart- 

 ment, takes knives, forks, and 

 spoons. A number of small 

 pantry towels should be added, 

 in which the soiled plates can 

 be wrapped to bring them 

 home in the lower boxes. It 

 is needless to say that no soiled 

 articles should be put in the 

 divided box, which should be 

 lined with buckskin, not with 

 the baize frequently used. 



In addition to the boxes for 

 the hind boot, an ' imperial' is 

 frequently added to the roof of 

 the coach. It fits in between the seats, as shown in 

 Plate XVIII., and the front, back, and sides turn 

 down, so that it Battens out into a table. It holds 

 a quantity of provisions, and generally has a tray 

 hanging near the top which is convenient as an 

 additional table top. The imperial is an ugly
