Be sure the gravy is perfectly smooth, well cooked and well seasoned with salt and pepper before serving it. Unless the thicken ing is smooth before it’s stirred into the stock all the stirring and cooking in the world won’t make it smooth. Allow from 1 Vi to .2 tablespoons of j flour for each cup of stock. Put the flour in a small mixing bowl and add water gradually, stirring con stantly to make a thin batter that 1 pours easily. Remove meat from stock and pour the thickening into the stock, stirring constantly. Bring to the boiling point and cook for flve minutes, stirring occasionally to pre vent sticking. ^ EASTERN STAR TO MEET The James B .
