"Well, a dear old Aunt of Bob's presented her with some wonderful kitchen scales--an aid to economy. Then it seems to me that every friend who has some favorite kitchen device has given one to her--she has egg-beaters, waffle-irons, cream-whippers, silver-polishers, cases for linen and silver--oh, everything you can think of!"
"The cards and card box for her indexed recipes. I included many of my own recipes, you know. That is to be my own particular engagement gift to all my friends."

Flake the salmon apart with a silver fork, add the crumbs, salt and paprika. Beat the egg and add the milk. Add to the first mixture.

"BROILED steak and French fried potatoes! Whew!" said Bob, strolling into Bettina's shining kitchen. "Why so festive?"
