It must first ba placed on a broiler and

finish tha broiling under a, gas flam or
before a broiling fire of coal.
For a rare or medium don steak

broiled to suit th taste, aprlnkle with
salt, pepper and paprika, dot with bits

There ahould be hot mashed, oreamy
potatoes that can be piped through a
pastry tube around the edgea of the
plank or the potato can be mounded Into
little rosettes at either end or equidis

mounds of tiny boiled and well aeaaoned
