her attempt to have broiled steak or

firmly banished those items from her

them was not 80 easily got rid OF.
And she brooded and brooded over the
problem until she arrived at an in
genious solution.
Before she placed the broiler into the
oven she put water in the drip pan,
covering the bottom to the depth Of
about half an inch. When the fiery
rain Of grease descended, therefore. It
was promptly quenched. The result is
that this particular household enjoys
