Joseph Cotten loves to eat, but we suspect his cooking ability is limited to spreading mustard on hot dogs ... as he is doing here under the watchful eye of Jennifer Jones, co-star in Paramount's new film, "Love Letters." What's Cookin', America? Courtesy Corning Glass South of the Mason and Dixon line they're justly famous for their flaky biscuits and interesting ways of preparing ham. And, as a 116 case in point, here's a Ham Casserole which combines these talents. ■ In his stock-company days, blond, handsome, sixfeet-two Joseph Cotten used to look around nervously whenever he heard anyone say "Virginia ham!"

No sensible Virginian would fly into the day's work without refueling at a breakfast table staggering with fragrant, appetizing foods. So, before Joe starts off for the studio, Lenore gives him beautiful, countryfresh eggs, crusty brown hot breads and little pork
