When the Chief Cook Le.xe..

The Importance Of chief cook be
comes evident when the time for his
departure arrives. One day last week
the proprietor of popular restaurant
on Fifth avenue decided for reasons OF
his own to part with the services Of the
man who had for some years looked
after his kitchen. The chef retired
and with him more than 20 Of his as
sistants. This number included his as
sistant cooks and every man In the
kitchen. even to the unimportant func
tionary who presides over the refriger.
ators. This exodus did not surprise
the proprietor.
The chef had brought the others with
him, and they were In a way more
closely attached to his service than to
the proprietor who paid them their
wages. When a substitute was hired,
he also brought the same complete
corps of assistants who are supposed
to know the methods Of their chief bet
ter than any assistants not directly
employed by him.
This manner Of employment exists In
all the large restaurants. where the
head cook Is absolute master In the
kitchen and controls all the branches
of his department down to the most
unimportant. He Is held responsible
on this ground for all that may happen
under his direction even If he was not
personally concerned in the natter
New York Sun.

10 1880, 1867 in 1920, 1904 in 1910, 734

the town attained its greatest populs-
ton in 1880, and that its population, &C
cording to the latest census, Is only
