atures of God and subject to His laws.
John felt that he was Gods ambassador,
and a suggestion to trim his message to
suit the conditions of kings would have
been rejected as rankest treason.
1t is said that the wife of Charles
III once went to the court chaplain
to complain of the excuses of her hus-
band. and that the chaplain advised her
to overlook the conduct of her royal lord.
That man was not a John.
Where or under what circumstances
Herod first heard John we do not know.
Some have thought that, hearing of John S
bodness and eloquence. Herod had sum-
moned him to the palace that he might
hear him undsturbed by the multitude.
If this be true it was a strange sight. We
may easily imagine it. His abstemious
life had given him the appearance of an
escetic. His tall. saunt form, his long
black hair hanging in loose clusters upon
his shoulders and his piercing eyes would
attract attention. while his coarse camel s
hair garment and his leathern girdle
would proclaim his poverty. He enters
the palace and stands i'm the presence of
the king. He has been so long accus-
toned TO communins with God that he is
unabashed in the presence of royalty.
His sermon does not smell of the oil. He
sees before him man of great possibili-
ties setting an example to his subjects
of utter disregard of the law of God.
Like Paul. he was nothing if not prac-
teal He could not evade Herod's mar
ital follies; and so. pointing his long. bony
finger at the king, he shouted: 1T is
not lawful for thee to have her to wife
That sentence must have been veritable
explosion. We can imagine the courtiers
of the king turning pale. and holding their
breath in dismay. 1t was rule of the
Herods to cringe and fawn upon supe-
rior. but to be relentless in their demands
Of obsequiousness from all interiors: but
in this case it may be that Herod. as
host, passed it over as blunder of ig-
norance. But, however that may be. the
rebuke was too pointed to be treated with
indifference.

Who Is VictorP

Not Herod, nor Herodias. There are
some scenes that we can never forget,
and there are some tongues that we can
never silence. Would they ever forget
those CLASSY eyes, those white, blood
stained lips. that bedraggled hair. Would
that tongue now ever be silent? When, a
little after he was exiled by Caligula the
emperor: when he and Herodias went IN
Lyons in Gaul, did not that ghostly head
accompany them? Did it not haunt them
TO their dying hour? Oh. it is terrible TO

So also is the separate bijou kitchen with
the silver grill. where Louis XIV cooked
fapjacks after the theater and the Pom

to go with the cold bottle.
Which brings us to the private dish
which Mr.. Roosevelt liked best.
In that play-kitchen, apart from the
man chefs of Potel & Chabot, a doughty
woman cook prepared dish of thrushes
in the style of Cassis.
For each person-Fallieres and Roose-

prepared them. with bacon half cooked
in their intestines, mashed fresh pork
