Good to eat and good for you
that's cottage cheese. Have you tried
the cream style cottage cheese, with
pineapple, chives, fruit salad, or
vegetables?
You know you can get the creamy
style cottage cheese with small or
large curd and moist or tart, as you
like it. Some prefer a tort, fine
curd cheese. Others like i mild
with big, fluffy popcorn curd." Or
try it dry without cream added, this
is especially good for cheese cake.
The following recipe for pineapple
cheese cake is a wonderful dessert
and one that you can certainly use
during the hot days ahead:

66W7E'RE almost there, "
w said Loretta Mil

ton. i came over yester-
day afternoon with Mr.. Hapgood to the
viewing. Yes. See the sign? AUCTION? TURN
HERE"
Lieutenant Trant eased his convertible into
narrow country road. Ahead of them, with
flock of cars parked in front of it, stood a
charming New England house and nearby an
old tobacco barn where crowd of people
were waiting for the auction to begin.
Trant was enjoying his week end with his
new mystery-witer friend, Fred King. He
had enjoyed meeting Fred's uncle, Avery
Hapgood, the great art dealer. He had en-
joyed reading Fred's latest manuscript NAL
ice and Monkshood. . even though it had kept
him up half the night. Most of all he was
enjoying Loretta Milton.
Lieutenant Trant, of the New York Homi-
eide Bureau. was more interested in murder
than matrimony Usually, he found extra
girls" on week ends millstones around the
neck But Loretta was pleasant exception
"a New York career girl who managed to be
attractive and feminine instead of frightening
and chic. "
IRANr parked the car and they went in
search of their hosts who had started before
them Loretta's hand was on his arm.
THE auctions all junk - except for Mr..
Hapgood's four paperweights But you must
see the picture frame discovered. It's
wonderful Victorian monstrosity; it1l make
sensational mirror"
They found the Kings on the fringes of the
crowd. Since the auction was to start at two
and Mr.. Hapgood had to make a train at
three-fifteen, Nina King had brought picnic
lunch and was arranging it on large blanket.
Fred King, in high spirits because Trant
and Loretta had praised his novel, was open
ing thermos of cocktails
Nina smiled up from the wrapped sand
wiches, pretty and delicate as the hooded
flowers on her breast.
Uncle Avery's asking the auctioneer to
start with his paperweights to make sure he'll
be able to bid before train time"
As she spoke, Avery Hapgood pushed
through the crowd toward them, brief case
under his arm. Old and waspish, with heart
which was repeatedly as weak as his shrewd-
ness was legendary, Hapgood had reigned
supreme in the art-dealing world for years He
dominated everyone around him like testy
old emperor, particularly his nephew and his
wife who, as his only relatives and heirs, bore
the full weight of his personality.
1--we just been making sure they'll put the
paperweights up just after your frame. my
DEAR" he said, and added CALAMITY, though
heaven knows why anyone so handsome would
be seen dead with such repulsive object. The
place is crawling with dealers and decorators.

A practical compromise was
worked out shortly after World
War II by lumber firm through
which complete outer shells of
houses were erected on sound
foundations. These unfinished
homes were sold with good sized
lots and all utilities installed for
a fraction Of what they might
have cost finished. The owner
could then exercise his do-it-
yourself yearning by finishing
the whole house, protected from
the weather.
The idea was born in the days
when the public was shocked by
the postwar jump in building
costs. Prewar savings toward a
home had suddenly shrunk to
a point where they wouldn't
buy half a house. So the lumber
firm figured that instead of
cutting a house in half as to
size, it's cost could be cut by
prefabrication.
The shell, constructed to con-
form to mortgage requirements,
includes all framing. sheathing.
asbestos siding, finished asphalt
shingle roof over building felt on
roof sheathing, copper flashing
over doors and windows, and
hardware on doors and windows,

tiling, papering and painting to
his hearts content. A rainy week
