VERY wave of small try as it comes along over the years just naturally loves gravy-over bread, in a brown pool atop fluffy mashed potatoes, on meat, over vegetables. Even grown-ups have been known to view with anticipation a big bowl of rich brown gravy on the dinner table.

But I know a thing or two about gravy I'm going to pass on to you. One is how to enrich the flavor and, increase the quantity of pan gravy. This I call:

Savory Beef Gravy'

3 cups browned beef gravy - 1 can condensed mock turtle soup Add the mock turtle soup to the browned beef gravy. Heat to the boiling point and serve. This gives about 4% cups of gravy.

And next, believe it or not, it'a' possible to have gravy any time you want it whether you have meat

We often say, very sweepingly: "I like Edna, she is so cheerful, always like cheerful people." But even as we utter these words we know (if we are honest with our- selves) that So-and-So is cheer- ful and that we have often wished we could wipe the silly grin from her face.

The simple truth is that we like Edna and so we like her particular brand of cheer: and we don't like So-and-So, and therefore we dis- like even her cheerfulness.
