A GASTRoNoMIC IDYL.

Empires May Fall, but the GeniUs
of Cookery Remains Triumphant
You will find small restaurant just
inside the street entrance. 1t is pre-
sided over by waiter who has ap-
parently been 40 years of age for the
last two decades, says writer in the
Bookman. He has friendly, alert
air, and anything In the world that
you want he will promptly provide,
for the honor of the Hotel de Nor
mandie. You will naturally order
some sort of pottage or something that
your fancy suggests; but whatever
else you do, be sure to call for mus
sells. / can see you turning up your
nose at this. In America, who eats
mussels except perhaps at rare times
some picked mussels? They are with
us In the same category as tripe. But
behold the genius of the French!
When the waiter brings In enormous
silver bowl with domelike silver COW
er, and when he removes the cover
then you forget everything in the
world except the delicious savory smell
of the steam which arises from the
myriad shells that open lovingly for
you to extract from them the dainty
sea-f1avored mussel that turks within.
Mussel, did l say? No, these are not
the ordinary mussels that Americans
know. French gastronomic genius has
transformed them into moules marin
iere In some deftly magical way the
French chef has impaired a delicious
suggestion to the moules, just that
| indefinable, evanescent memory Of gar
lic-garlic which in the hands of the
ordinary cook is an offensive and dead
ly weapon, but which in the hands Of
cook of high degree-an artist in
| facts q means for achieving some
of the supreme triumphs of his art.
After the moules you will have any
thing you care for-dainty slices Of
galantine or sliced capon nesting
amid watercresses, and then perhaps
some peaches In little basket where
the fruit Is embodied in leaves from it's
own tree and ripened to precisely the
right turn on some ancient wall In
the sunshine of an old French garden.
Then, perhaps, some pulled bread and
bit Of Camembert and cafe Maza-
gran in long glass No one remem-
bers now the battle that gave its
name to this particular preparation of
coffee-which shows that men may
come and empires may fall and armies
may be dashed into fragments upon
the battlefield, but the genius of cook
cry remains triumphant and its
achievements are never lost.

The claim that Washington women
are the most generously talented and
varlously cultivated Of any In the
country Is borne out, the Washington
Post says, by a knowledge of the
tastes and capabilities of many wom-
en- who are regarded chiefly as charm
ing hostesses or admired bellies.
The most notable instance Of a
Washington woman Of leisure who has
made a name for herself, not only
throughout the country, but also
throughout the world, is, of course,
Miss Mabel Boardman. Although she
has always sought to keep herself in
the background so far as the affairs Of
the society are concerned, Miss Board
man is admittedly the whole show
In Red Cross affairs. President Taft,
who has been for several years the
head Of the organization, gladly gives
the credit for much Of the success to
Miss Boardman. To a man-and all
the other members Of the central com
mittee Of the organization are men
the governing body Of the Red Cross
delights to sing Miss Boardman's
praises Few Of those who meet her
socially realize that Miss Boardman's 8
mornings are invariably devoted to
the work at Red Cross headquarters,
and that she works as hard as any
paid employe of the Organization.
Not many persons are aware that
the first lady Of the land, Mrs. Taft,
has a diploma from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music which entities
her to teach. Mrs. Taft is perhaps the
finest pianist among the smart set,
and has paid much attention to the
development of her talent AS Miss
Helen Heron in Cincinnati she was
noted for her interpretations of the
masterpieces of musical literature.

Her delight in these two prosaic
realms led her to make a study of ac-
counting, and her work on the sched-
ule Of the tariff bill is remembered
with something akin to awe by all her
friends.
OF fine singers and graceful dancers
there Is no lack among the fair daugh-
ters of Washington, but there are sew
eral who excel their friends In these
two arts. The most gifted dancer In
Washington is Miss Olga Converse,
daughter of the late Admiral Converse.
After her appearance in the amateur
play, 1--WE Are in Society" Miss Con-
verse received offers from several OF
the biggest theatrical managers IN the
United States, who put forth great In
ducements to tempt her to join their
productions. The hit she made would
have turned the head Of almost any
other girl. Miss Converse Is true
daughter Of Terpsichore, and her twin
king feet are capable of evolutions
which even the most graceful OF her
friends are not able to rival.

They That Wait on the Lord.

IT have no time to wait" said,
my life is full of tasks;
I grudge moment from my work
To give the help one asks;
My burdened heart and weary brain
Have scarcely time for prayer;
am a servant all day long,
And wanted everywhere.
Not half is done ought to do,
And the time Is very late
Lord, give Thy blessing while / work,
And bid me not to wait"
Through weary days struggled on,
But the light was faint for me;
How could I do the finest work
With eyes too tired to see?
At last cast my burden down
Lord, Thy will be done," said;
Then a great peace came over me,
And I was not afraid.
My Lord had waited patiently
Through the long time; and He
Was kind and very merciful
And gracious unto me.
I did not even try to work,
1 sought not any quest;
He laid His hand on heart and head
And / was glad to rest;
For all the rush and haste were gone,
And I was stilled at length:
Then, rising, took my work again,
And a new gift Of strength.
--Marianne birmingham.
