The Domestic Science Recipe of the Day

I can't keep it to myself any longer.

Scallop Salad
Soak the scallops in salted water; simmer five minutes in boiling water; drain, cool, cut in slices and marinate with French dressing. At serving, drain, mix with equal bulk of celery; dress with mayonnaise; shape in a mound. Mask with mayonnaise. Outline designs on the sides of the mound with capers; fill in the designs with chopped white of egg and figures cut from beets.

I expect everyone will now rush out to make it. For the sake of historicity, I will include the source of the spectacular recipe. If you're a student with access to the American Periodicals Series database, feel free to check out the picture that goes with the recipe.
