"I believe we will need those new comforters tonight. How were you fixing them?"
"I was basting a white cheese-cloth edge, about twelve inches wide, along the width that goes at the head of the bed, you know. It's so easy to rip off and wash, and I like to have all the comforters fixed that way. I was cleaning my old furs, too, to cut them up. I'm planning to have a fur edge on my suit this winter. I don't believe you'll know the furs, the suit, or Bettina when you see the combination we will make together! Fur is the thing this year, you know."
"Couldn't you spare me a little to transform my overcoat? I'd like to look different, too!"
"Silly! Come along to the kitchen! There's beefsteak to-night (won't it taste good?) and I want you to cook it, while I'm getting the other things on the table. I didn't expect you quite so soon."
That night for dinner they had:
Beefsteak Creamed Potatoes
Devilled Tomatoes
Rolls Butter
Plum Sauce
Bettina's Drop Cookies
BETTINA'S RECIPES
(All measurements are level)
Creamed Potatoes (Two portions)
