I ONDON. Nov. 30.-King Edward
has made wise and practical sug-
gestion He says 1t would be a
good thing for some Of the young
er sons OF the aristocracy II they sought
positions as chefs This Idea was the
outcome Of an Incident which took place
while the king was recently visiting
Lord and Lady Colebrooke. His maj
egty ana hts hostess returned from
motor drive cae evening AZ out 7;30
when Lady C0lohrooke was told In the
presence % the king by an i1discreet
young fo0man. that there wa no din
uer In progress 40 the chef was drunk
and In bed. An almost Identical incl
dent occurred a year ago when the
king was visiting the sassoons.
KING LIKES WORK.
King Edward sees nothing derogatory
In any kind Of work and In suggesting
a new profession" for the numerous
younger sons OF impecunious noblemen
he knows OF what he " talking. Good
chefs earn anything from $1,000 10
$4,000 per annum ana their behavior
of late Is, as Mark Twain would say
causing remark" The chef is the
fashion and the kings notion Is that
were hard-up sclons OF the aristocracy
TO take up the calling they would earn
much more money than they could
hope 10 get by going In for business
for which their training lifts them.
And they would start with the initial
advantage OF knowing what dishes APP
peal most TO lu1uriously cultivated
palates and appetites. Furthermore,
A. At "A -
the kitchen. matrons anxious above all
things that their daughters should
wed wealth. would see no risk OF hav-
ing their matrimonial plans upset by
engaging poor young honorables to SUI
pervise their culinary departments.
Always practical, his majesty told the
Colebrookes that II his suggestion was
taken up he would see that a gentle
man chef got the first chance when u
vacancy occurred In any Of the royal
palace Kitchens
