an estate OF $4,000 may have surprised
many people who look upon the art o.
cooking as humble and ill-paid. As a
matter Of fact there Is more than one cool
In this city whose salary is as large as that
OF a Justice OF the Supreme Court. In
addition to his salary the head cook In
a fashionable restaurant, though he maj
not be known to his patrons by sight, re-
ceives many a fat tip. Connoisseurs In
cooking who are satisfied only with the
best will send their order, through the
waiter, directly to the head cook, IL they
have previously generously recommended
themselves to him, with the request that
he attend to IL personally. Such requests,
accompanied by generous tips, are also
made by men who are not connoisseurs
but who find that it Is a cheap way Of i'm
pressing their guests. The head cook
in one OF these big restaurants Is not only
an autocrat in his kitchen but to convince
a dozen different hosts that he Is personally
attending to their cooking he must be a
diplomat and such diplomacy brings sure
financial reward. Not all high-salaried
cooks however save their money. One
such man who was the pioneer OF his class
in this city and who went back to Paris
and opened a restaurant that catered largely
to Americans died not long ago. In
comparative poverty. But in New York
most OF them are thrifty and some OF them
own comfortable homes In neighborhoods
where no one suspects their occupation.
The great desire to do to royalty when
It comes In the person Of a welcome visitor
as royalty would be done by Is ample
excuse for all the preliminary discussion
about the reception Of Prince Henry OF
Prussia, and perhaps no one point has been
more anxiously debated by those who may
be brought In personal contact with him
than the correct way to address the Prince.
The average American who may STAN
mer a bit over saying MY Lord" to
lesser nobility seems anxious to con-
form with the proper usage on his
occasion. For the benefit of these people
It has been seml-oficially announced that
to greet the Prince simply as sir Is not
only unobjeotionable but in the best form:
II a more elaborate greeting is preferred
he may be addressed as Your Royal High
ness but constant repetition OF this title
is not good form. There Is a special wish
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to have the
Prince make a call there because OF his
familiarity with naval matters, and although
this point has not been definitely settled
the officers of the yard have made all their
preparations In anticipation Of It.
Helen NJ. De Long. who was again ar
rested on Saturday for selling bogus tickets
for fashionable entertainments. has long
been watched by the Charity Organization
Society, which has sent out warnings against
her. Before she branched out as an organ
izer Of entertainments that never were
given she was interested In various homes
for hayward girls. This has been a popular
industry in this city and as a matter OF
routine the Charity Organization Society
investigates all such new ventures. They
were not satisfied that Mrs. De Longs
methods were entirely disinterested, but
they were unable TO get any convincing
proof against her. She thoroughly aroused
their suspicion, however. and they have
kept track Of her ever since. There are
a lot of bogus charity workers in this city
with plausible tales and some Of them have
skilfully lodged the efforts OF the Charity
Organization Society TO doc their work
by shifting their field Of operations fire.

fraud. They dress well, as a rule, and their

would be unsuccessful.
