Use Fresh Fruit While fresh fruit Is in season the fruit cocktail can ba varied delightfully. Thick cubes of fresh plnei-apple mixed with fresh berries combine well. Pineapple and banana la another good blend.

If fruit Is not as luscious on cutting as It blight be, squirt the Juice of half an orange over all. and the general flavor will be much improved. Melon cup Is a pleasant Innovation. Watermelon and cantaloupe, fully ripe, are cut into belle with a little fruit ecoop, piled Into sherbet cups and served Immediately. The fruit should of course be well chilled before cutting.

Nothing seems to bother her and aha can generally be relied upon to find a solution to' most difficulties. And she is generally good tempered, despite her reputation for having a temper, for you ee the redhead usually goes through so much teasing as a child, that she seems inured to almost anything.
