THERE is the fabulous phoenix bird said to rise from its own ashes to live again. And there is the very real Louise Fazenda who views the ruins of her fire-razed Malibu beach cottage from the cool shelter of a neighbor's garden, planning the new construction — and picnicking meanwhile.
Louise Fazenda is always looking for an excuse for a picnic. If it isn't the anniversary of something-orother for her husband and herself, or their immediate families, a perfectly legitimate reason for a celebration can usually be found. Louise is just a picnic hound.
Maybe the next door neighbor boy surprised both himself and his parents by not "flunking" the semester at school. Hurray! We'll have a picnic.
Or Louise has a day off and takes the neighborhood ladies motoring to the beach with her while she discusses plans for the new sea-side home with her architect. Fine ! An impromptu picnic.
Or the little daughter of a friend is recovering from an illness and a day of ocean air and sun will do her good. Voila ! A piquenique !
So Louise consults Anastasia in her kitchen. Luncheon baskets are teetered off high perches on top shelves. Cupboards are opened and shut with a great bustling. And out of the delightful maelstrom on such a day as this Louise finally emerges with arms laden. The engine of her big sedan whirs, and the picnic has started.

They can be merely bread and butter sandwiches or can be spread with a thin layer of cream cheese, jelly, ham, or any other sandwich filling.
There is a little ceremony that goes with the distribution of these "Diploma Sandwiches." Louise, looking as much like a high school superintendent and a dignified college president as possible, proffers each child one of the sandwiches, with this remark:
"After four hours of patient waiting, ahem — I present you with this diploma. I hope you will make good use of it and honor your alma mater."
Youngsters always give a little crow of delight when they see these sandwiches, says Louise, and it's worth the extra work in preparing them.
"It's most fun to chew these diploma sandwiches from both ends, slipping off the ribbon when you come to the center."
Another kind of sandwich that will please children is called the "Witch's Sandwich." Louise gives its preparation as follows : Cut out slices of white bread with a round cutter. Have an equal number of slices of Boston brown bread. Butter the white bread. With a thimble, press out circles for eyes in the brown bread. With a sharp knife, make a small triangle for the nose in the brown bread and a slit to represent the mouth. Spread a little orange marmalade on the (Continued on page 100)
