• Here's something new, some-
thing different, something unusu-
ally tempting! Spices and brown
sugar have been blended with
tangy grapefruit to make a won-
derfully zestful confblnatlon of
flavor. Wonderfully attractive,
too. with bright cherries peeping
through the lacy golden crust.
This Grapefruit Cherry Pie has
so mueh zip and seat, it's the per-
