CHAPTER XXIV
BETTINA VISITS A TEA-ROOM
"AREN'T you a bit timid about driving?" asked Bettina, as she stepped into the car beside Mrs. Dixon.
"Not now. You see, I've been practicing every evening with Frank, and he says that I am as good a driver as he is! Oh, Bettina, we are having so much fun these days! The little house is a great success, and I'm really learning to cook! I've had some dreadful failures; but Frank doesn't seem to mind. You see, I know he gets a good meal downtown at noon, and so I don't worry about him."
"Look, Charlotte! What lovely goldenrod! We must stop and get some! Don't you love it?"
"Indeed I do! I have a rough brown waste-paper basket that it looks stunning in. I set the jar of goldenrod right inside! Frank is very fond of it."
"Charlotte, you're just like a bride yourself--thinking about Frank's likes and dislikes."
"Am I?" laughed Mrs. Dixon as her color rose. "Well, lately Frank seems just like his old self! He appreciates everything so, and is so nice at home! And it seems that he can hardly get home quickly enough! We have enjoyed getting things settled and planning our future. Next year we may build a house of our own, but I don't care to have it too large to manage easily."
"Are you going to stop here?" asked Bettina, as Mrs. Dixon slowed down after a peaceful stretch of level road.
"Yes, I want to show you something."
A short path led to a small house close to the road, but almost hidden in a tangle of flowers and wild grapevines.
"Isn't this a cunning little rustic place?" asked Charlotte. "Two friends of mine started it. See" (pointing to the sign over the door), "it's called 'The Friendly Inn.' Inside you'll find that quotation about living in a house at the side of the road and being a friend to every man. You know that one. These girls live on that farm over there. When they came home from college they wanted something to do--some way to earn money--but they didn't care to leave home. This is such a splendid road that the autos swarm past all summer long. These girls opened this little tea room, and serve luncheons and tea here all summer. Most of their supplies come directly from the farm. It is just a pleasant drive from the city, and many people like to come out here in the afternoon. I'll introduce you to the girls."
Bettina found the inn-keepers charming, and after a short conversation, she and Mrs. Dixon ordered:

BETTINA'S RECIPES
(All measurements are level)
Tomato Cup Salad= (Six portions)
6 tomatoes 1 C-diced cucumbers 1/4 C-chopped green peppers 1/4 C-sliced radishes 1 T-chopped onion 1 t-salt 1/8 t-paprika 6 T-salad dressing
Wash cold firm tomatoes of a uniform size. Cut a slice from the stem end and scoop out seeds and pulp. Save the pulp. Sprinkle the inside with salt. Invert for five minutes. Mix the cucumber, green pepper, radishes, onions, tomato pulp, and salad dressing. Fill with the mixture and refill the shells. Have all of the ingredients cold and serve at once. If the mixture stands in the tomato cups very long it becomes watery. The tomatoes may be prepared and kept cool, and the mixture prepared, all but the onion, and placed in the ice-box until ready for use. Never put anything containing onion in the ice-box. Serve the tomatoes on crisp lettuce leaves.
Chocolate Sauce for the Ice Cream= (Six portions)
1 C-sugar 1 square of chocolate 1/8 t-salt 2 T-flour 1 t-butter 1 t-vanilla 2 C-boiling water
Mix the sugar, flour and salt. Add the square of chocolate and boiling water. Allow to boil four minutes, stirring constantly. Add the butter and vanilla. Serve hot or cold with ice cream.
