Grill Suppers

Now it's the "grill supper." The chafing dish has been a long time the proper utensil in which to manufacture the after-theatre menu. It still figures in these informal affairs. But the grill is the latest. This new society implement is much like our ordinary iron or steel boilers in shape. But the smart material of which it is made is silver.

Burning coals in the grate or a gas log furnish the means of cooking with precious metal utensils. Oysters, cheese, all things that can be broiled, are in good form. Whatever is cooked the deed is done in full view of the guests. Little pancakes are often cooked and served. Of course tea, coffee, or chocolate may be prepared easily. American hostesses do not go enthusiastic over the grill. The chafing dish is so handy, seldom off good behavior. The "grill" is not always amenable. But it is "quite English" and is highly approved by the King Edward and his friends.
