"That's what we came for, Bettina!" shouted Frank, laughing. "And then you must come out in the car with us. It's a beautiful, clear, cold night, and you'll enjoy it—if you take plenty of wraps!"
For dinner that night Bettina served:
Lamb Chops Escalloped Potatoes
Egg Plant
Bread Butter
Ginger Drop-Cakes
Tea
