These, by planting trees, establish

GORDON BLEU.
Origin Of the French Title as Applied
to a Fine Cook.

Origin Of the French Title az Applied
to a Fine Cook.
The Order Of the st. Esprit was ere.
ated In 1887, was suppressed by the
revolution and was revived by Louis
XVIII. in 1914. To speak rightly, Louis
XVIII. considered that the order had
never ceased to exist, for he had given
two collars during his exile, in 1910,
the one to Francis l., king Of the two
Sicilies, and the other to his brother,
the Prince Of Salerno, the father of bis
brothers wife, the Duchess d'Aumale.
The ribbon Of this order was a light
blue color. 1t was worn around the
neck In the reigns Of Henry Ill. and
Henry w., but was changed by Louis
XIV, when 1t was worn across the
chest The Chevaliers of the st. Esprit
were always known under the name Of
Les Gordon Bleu, and this was the su-
preme honor during the monarchy of
France. 1t was from this that the title
Of Gordon bleu" was given to a first
class cook. A gentleman one day de-
clared after good meal that he who
had cooked the dinner had proved him
self a Gordon bleu" among cooks-in
other words, the master of his art. The
title became quite the rage and is now
always used to designate a good cook
without the persons who use 1t know
ing what it means or still less the orr
gin of the title.

devoted much attention to the life and
works OF Bossuet, who was often styled
the Eagle Of Meaux," on account per.
haps Of his lofty flights of eloquence.
This fact, with others pertaining to
his literary career, was mentioned by
some daily papers during his stay in
this country. 1t caught the eyes Of a
shrewd American Snowman, who, how
ever, got somewhat mixed over the
meaning of the allusion. He wrote the
following letter to the French author:

II you order bath, it will be pre-
pared for you accordingly, and a sweet

1t is ready. You are not expected to
operate the water valves at all, and 1t
is doubtful If you would succeed If
you tried.
From variety of vacant rooms at

you prefer, with definite agreement
as to price. You are not required to
accept humbly and thankfully, In blind
faith, whatever room the clerk deigns
to assign to you, as in America. 1t is

your breakfasts at the hotel, being free
to get your other meals elsewhere II
