x The Good Friend

The Mary Lee Taylor Program brought to you by Pest America's first evaporated milk. Welcome to the Mary Lee Taylor Program featuring the story of the week about that lovable pair, Jim and Sally Carter, and the Pest recipe of the week from Mary Lee Taylor's friendly kitchen.

If you'd like a collection of wonderful, fail-proof recipes all put together in a handy 16-page booklet, Then send today for a copy of Mary Lee Taylor's latest recipe collection called Main Dishes, Salads and Dessert.

It's free, it's yours for the asking. Just write Mary Lee Taylor, Carol this station, or to Pet Milk, St. Louis, zone 1 Missouri. I'll give that address again later, but right now it's Mary Lee on NBC.

And here she is, Mary Lee Taylor. Thank you, Del King, and hello everybody. Today's story is called Sally Makes Up Her Mind. And one of the things that helped Sally make up her mind was the remark made by an old but not very dear friend.

I called a glimpse of your husband the other night, concentrated on a very striking brunette. Oh, husband leaves to take job in big city, wife stays home, wife hears rumors, wife packs up, is that it?

You'll get a whole story in just a minute. But first, I promised that right after today's story, we'll plan a meal. A wonderful meal that you can prepare for four people, for just about $1.74.

Isn't she terrific? That's just about $0.43 a serving. Yes, and it's a grand meal too. The kind you'd be proud to serve, even when your husband's new boss comes to dinner. The main attraction of the meal is a delicious combination called Port Gems with Creamed Peas.
