Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad Ring
One food which make; a most ap
propriate hot weather dish because of its
remarkable versatility in its many uses
is cottage cheese.
? Cottage cheese may be used as the
main part of the menu and mixed with
boiled eggs or nuts. In sandwiches, it
may be combined with jelly, preserves,
raisins, nuts or olives. Salads in which
cottage cheese may be used are numerous
and as a dessert, it may appear in the
form of a pie, pudding or sundae.
A jar of cottage cheese makes an eco
nomical food because there are no waste
portions to diicard.
The U. S. D. A. summarizes the vir
tues of cottage cheese as: "One of the
important meat substitutes. It contains
a larger percentage of protein than many
meats and furnishes this material at
lower cost. In every pound of cottage
cheese, there is about one-fifth of a
pound of protein, nearly all of which is
digestible." Here is the recipe for fruit
salad ring:

The Trick of T1
BY MARY BROOKS PICKEN
How smart she looks in her
thoroughly tailored suit and fetch
ing hat. Hut no less smart, and
just at fetching, is her handbag
made in a few hours' time. Crepe
paper crochet did it, and she can
well be proud, for it cost literally
only a few cents, and the bag is
sturdy, colorful, and right for any
daytime occasion. The crepe paper
is cut in strips 3-8 inch wide,
stretched and twisted, and crochet
ed with a steel hook No. O. I, or 2.
Cut the paper across the grain and
do the stretching by hand or with
the aid of an inexpensive little
gadget called a twister. '
The stitch is simple being a sin
gle crochet combined with double
crochet, picking up both loops of
each stitch. Two contrasting colors
of crepe paper were used, vemiil
lion and sand. The directions are
easy to follow, and you need only
substitute your own chosen colors
for the two given.
The bag is made in three piece*
? one flat pieoe ioJ/j inches wide
and l8j4 inches long, and two
gussets. Start with the flat piece, using
crepe. Chain sufficient to make a lO'/i
width work will draw up slightly as yoi
