made. To begin with. If you would
be past master in the art of shake
making, you must possess yourself of
a shaker. One OF nickel plate that is
strong enough to stand hard shaking,
made with a screw cover and little
spout through which the shake can
be poured into a glass. costs about
two dollars. The spout is covered
with small tip which can be I'M
