AT TABLE WITH THE CHEFS
Lesser Lights Gathered to Sample
Growing Glory Turned Out by
the King of Them All.

Sleek, well-fed and happy men, who
ate seriously and gravely, and slipped
the vintage wines with the thoughtful,
up-turned eyes of connoisseurs, sat at
the Hotel Cecil in London the other
night around snow-white tables from
which rose bowers of smilax, orchids,
and lilies and fruit-laden silver
epergnes, glittering beneath blue and
red electric lights.
This was the first dinner of the
League of the Epicures-a dinner that
had its counterpart in far-away capt.
tails of the world, from Amsterdam
and Tokyo.
Great chefs were there. Escoff1er
himself, surrounded by roses, and Ce-
dard, the chef of the king; Carmier,
Of the Waldorf Stempfer, Queen Alex
Malley of the Ritz, Allestur of the Ce-
ell, Garog of the New Gallery, and
others who would shudden at the
mention of boiled beef and carrots,
although the music of "boeuf a la
princesse' would please their ear.
Escoffier had produced a wonderful
dish, greater than the Peche Melba,
which was to be submitted to the pal
ates of all these mighty knights OF
the ladle. 1t was called Praises Sarah
Bernhadt, and the divine Sarah her
self had christened it with long and
an ardent telegram.
Here are the Praises Sarah Bern
hardt Each nIafa wac a SunSat of
cream and amber clouds. with the faint
rose-color of the fruit splashed across
the horizon. Strain the strawberries
so that you get the tone of a sunset"
says M Escoffler
To the left a mound of ice gave
hint of a chill spring evening, and to
the right small lakes of iqueur called
up the memory of dew on the mead

perfect harmony of fiavors, with just
an elusive minor note Of tartness in
the pineapple ice, a counterpart to
the melodious sweetness of the dish.
It was a triumph, an ecstasy. The
diners closed their eyes so that moth
ing external should clash with the in
ward joys, and only opened them
again when a smacking of lips pro-
claimed that the Praises Sarah Bern
hardt had melted away in the evening
just as the sunset they resemble.

Hotel on a Coral Reef.

A number of business men in Homo
lulu are stated to be taking up the
project of building a hotel on the
coral reef near Diamond Head, with
a connecting pier to the shore.
It is further planned to build sub
marine tower down to the bottom just
outside the reef. At the lower end OF
the tower 1t is intended to have big
glass plates so that those who go
down will be able to see all that is
going on at the bottom of the sea and
the fish swimming about.
The promoters expect that it will
be the greatest attraction the city
has ever held. ....s.4.r,a- y. - Fl. -.

military genius. 1t would be hard to
say which of these three qualities did
most for him.
John Churchill-"Handso Jack,
as he was nicknamed-came of an old,
impoverished family He was born
in 1850, had almost no early education
and became page to the duke of York
(afterward James H.. Charles H., the
duke of Yorks brother, was king of
England and ruled a dissolute court,
where wit and beauty brought far
higher rewards than did mere merit
He soon worked his way into the
duke of York's favor and received
from him a commission in the army
AS a soldier he showed both valor and
martial skill. But It is doubtful if
he would have risen as rapidly as he
did were it not for the very shady
means he employed for his own ad-
vancement His good looks and his
INSCRIPTIONS conduct brought him
money and swift promotion He
strengthened his position by marrying
Sarah Jennings, woman much of
his own sort, and even more ambi-
tious
James II. came to the throne in
1885, and his favorite courtier,
Churchill, was made general and a
baron. Handsome jack owed every
thing to James. Yet, when the latter
was attacked by William Prince Of Or
ange, who claimed the English crown,
Churchill quickly saw that William
would be the victor, and decided to
throw his fortunes with him So,
when James Churchill calmly went
over to the enemy and took the army
with him, James deserted, fed to
France and the Prince of Orange be.

| Churchill gained new honors by this
bit of treachery.
Williams reign was not wholly POD

James might possibly regain his lost
crown Churchill, in order to make
certain of being on the winning side

had Churchill thrown into prison. Fol
less lucky, less shifty man, this ex
posture to treason would have meant
political ruin. But Churchill man

| to win back some of his besmirched
reputation.
William died childless, and at his
death the English crown went to
James youngest daughter Anne.
Churchill had foreseen this, and had
made his plans accordingly He had
managed to install his clever wife as
Anne's chief lady-in-waiting and to
win for himself the new queens trust
and admiration. Anne-stupid, weak,
good natured-was the willing and
meek slave of the imperious Lady
Churchill obeying her every wish,
heaping honors on her tricky hus
band; ever enriching the couple.
Churchill was made commander-in-
chief of England's forces in the con-
tinental war. Here he showed bril-
liant genius. He won battle after bat
tie, campaign after campaign; amaz-
ing the world with his military skill.
He also gained himself a name for
humanity, during these wars, in spite
of the fact that he burned more than
300 towns, villages and castles in
Germany alone.
Flushed with triumph, he came back
to England. Foreign governments
granted him high honors. Queen Anne
made him duke of Marlborough and
lavished priceless gifts on him.
Among other presents. from her he re-
ceived the huge estate of "Blenheim"
(named for one of bis Victories), and
a castle was ouilt there for him at
royal expense.
For years he and his wife practi-
cally ruled England, through the
weak old queen But for the duchess
of Mariborough's bad temper they
might perhaps have continued so I'M
til the end. But the duchess at last,
in I'LL, lost her temper once too often
with the patient Anne She is even
rumored to have slapped her males
tvs face. There was terrible scene,
aid the Marlborough fell into dis
grace. The duke was stripped of his
Offices and found 1t convenient to
leave England
Later, in George Is reign, he was
partially restored to power. But his
old greatness was gone. He was no

England was unfit for me. | with
drew"
So wrote a first-class genius and
third-class scoundrel, Lord Byron. He
was very pitiable sort of Backyard
at best. Not one-tenth as bad as he
tried to make people think. Yet bad
enough in a cheap, sordid way to de-
serve decent mems contempt. He
was tremendously vain. Not so vain
of his poetry, which was great, as of
the petty, melodramatic feats that
reused more laughter than applause.
Byron's father was dissolute,
worthless army officer. His mother
was a gambler, q shrew and little
better than her spendthrift husband.
The couple Quarreled and separated.
The wife took her little boy and went
$3.50 year. Byron's father died soon
afterWard. On the death of his great
uncle, in 1898, the ten-year-old lad sue
ceeded to the latter's title and estates,
becoming Lord" Byron. His days OF
bitter poverty were over, but their
mark never wholly left him.
Byron had been lame from birth.
Part of the time his mother over
whelmed him with caresses and love
words. At other times she would
scream at him, curse him for "a lame
brat" and hurl books at his head. 1t
was bitter childhood for the sensi-
tive, afflicted youngster, He never
forgot it. Nor did he forgive the
mother who made him so miserable.
He hated her to the day of his death.
Byron began writing poetry while
he was a mere schoolboy. 1t was an
artificial, morbid era in English litera-
ture, and Byron was just the sort of
writer to catch the publics fancy.
He found that people were interested
in gloomy, mysterious heroes. So,
both in life and in poems, he proceed
ed to become mysterious and gloomy.
He limited at black secrets that cloud
ed his life and talked vaguely of fear
full crimes he had committed.
This attitude, combined with his
good looks, made him the School Girl

PASTOR SENDS GREETINGS.
Honolulu, Hawaii,
January 29, 1912.

January 29, l9Iz.
So many of our friends in and
around Payette have writtne to us
asking about Mrs. Peters health,
and about our work and so many
other things, that it is out Of the
question for me to reply to them
all or any considerable number of
them. Let me assure you all that
we appreciate these expressions Of
kindly feelings and interest in US
and our work, and if it were posi-
BILE / should be glad to write to eY-
cry one of the good people who so
kindly have written to US. But
can't do it. You can have no idea
how much there is to do. l am in
a service almost every day, and
sometimes from one to five services
call my attention each day. There
are innumerable visits to be made
among the sick and poor and needy.
The hospital requires a good deal Of
time, and there are hundreds of sol
diers here, young men away from
home, whose spiritual welfare falls
largely upon my shoulders. But 1
am glad to have the opportunity for
such a work.
The work we are trying to do. is
being blessed to a large degree of
good. There have been thirty-seven
people confessed faith in the Christ
since we came here,
Mrs. Peters is far from well. Some
times we think she improves a lit
tie, and again it seems that she
does not. She is not yet able to be
up all the time. Just now she is in
a sanatorium back in the mountains
on this island, hoping to be bene-
fitted there.
We have built US a bungalow about
four miles from the center Of the
city, on a hill overlooking the south
ern sea and the city with the
mountains Just back of us. 1t is
much cooler up here than down in
the city and along the water front.
You who are freezing in Payette
most of the time and shovelling coal
the rest of the time, think of this:
it is now 1920 at night. the TWEEN
ty-ninth day of January and the
thermometer stands at "a degrees,
but two degrees below summer heat;
and it has not been as low as sixty
this winter. Tho l have seen a good
portion of the surface of this old
world, have not found a climate
anywhere so delightful as this. Nor
have l found a place so beautiful as
these Hawaiian Islands.
We like it here very much. The
field is surely white already unto
the harvest. If Mrs. Peters can re-
cover her strength and I can stand
up under the load that these sin
cursed people put upon ones heart,

COOKING CLASS
SEEMS LIKELY

AS Superintendent s.. e. Shull. in
his annual report last year, advocat-
ed the extension of the manual
training system to include cooking,
and as the Woman's Club has reviy-
ed this agitation with a recommend
alton to the Board OF Education that
a cooking class be instigated at the
high school, il is considered highly
probable that q favorable report will
be made by the committee in charge
and a class started I'm the near fu-
'ture.
Mr.. shull. when interviewed to-
day, referred the reported to his
1911 report, which contained a rec
.ommendation similar to that which
was read before the school board
Tuesday night. Mr.. ShuIl states that
the basement of the new high school
addition at the high school could be
utilized for cooking purposes, ii
such a course was established. The
cost would be about $500 to equip
the room and alike sun for yearly
expenses, >the superintendent stated
