FRESH BALLS OF GOODNESS
Fresh fruits have a
place that nothing else
can fill. Oranges for in
stance with warm, butter
ed toast make a jolly
breakfast. Oranges just
fit in a picnic lunch for a
thirst quenching dessert.
Sliced oranges served with
a sprinkling of shredded
cocoanut in dainty dishes,
orange skin cups filled
with a tart fruit salad and
topped with a cherry
would grace any table.
Candied orange peel in a
basket or candy jar at the
dance would be a center
of interest.
Oranges have a flavor
all their own' and their
use adds a special note to
the menu. They give a
light touch to a heavy
meal. You can make your
dinners look more attrac
tive and seem more varied
if you usq more oranges.

You know how you feel when Sandy

you feel when the old gang needs a
touchdown to pull the game out of
the fire—and gets it.
Well, that’s the way you feel when
you slip into your Kuppenheimer

the thrill that only good clothes can
give—the confidence, the ease and

well dressed.
