earlier had doffed the white jacket and

1t is a rather large contract he has
elected to fill. but five times all Mrs.
Clark sets apart for her household ex-
penses wouldn't lure Edward from the
home of the Speaker. He has the temper
ament of the true artistic and he knows
exactly what Kipling was talking about
in "LEnvoy," where he mentions some
thing about nobody working for money
and nobody working for gain, but only
the joy of the doing and some other
equally high-browed and soul-uplifting
sentiments.
Edward is appreciated. He is made to
feel that his work is important Edward
is content-content beyond the power or
pelf to scatter discomfort in his loyal
heart.
Edward has not always known the soul
satisfying contentment and thereunto Is
appended a story.

he spent some time in. the studio. but
failing eyesight sent him once more TO
his pots and pans.
Regardless of ephemeral ambitions this
paragon OF chefs is never SO happy as in
the spacious kitchen of the Clark apart
ment planning a dinner of unusual ex-
cellence TO delight those who have been
hidden TO break bread with the family.
With Edward cooking seems a sacred
rite, and he goes about IL with the de-
votion of one performing religious
ceremony. His inventive genius has Gre
ated many dishes which have made his
name known far and wide and to him
are due many OF the recipes contained
in one of the most widely circulated cook
books printed in recent years. The vol
ume is illustrated with photographs OF
a number of the dishes he has evolved.
a few years ago. when the family OF ex-
Senator Henderson became vegetartans,
Edward became famous for the wonder
full meatless menus he prepared. One
Thanksgiving day his idea OF the fitness
of things revolted at there being no
piece de resistance for the dinner-a tur-
key, young. fat and tender. To meet the
exigencies of the case Edward created
turkey from vegetables which was SO
like in appearance and flavor to the real
bird that the deception was almost COM
plete.
During the campaign OF Speaker Clark
for tie presidential nomination and when
the "Houn Dawg' song was sung from
coast to coast Edward evolved an equal

the ''Houn' Dawg.' 1t was of thin slices

all so typical of his own Merrie England,
Edward should have been happy But he
was not.
For sixteen long years the canker OF
envy and unappreciated genius ate into
the very soul of him. Three years before
Edward became a retainer at the castle
the kitchen retinue had been placed under
a very wonderful French chef Edward.
so long as this terrible Gaul survived
could hope for nothing more than the
part of second cook.
There was no JOY in being the chef
assistant. OF what use to spend sleepless
nights and busy days devising viands fit
to delight the gods when this hated
Frenchman was to have all the credit.
Anyway. Wellington never did half
enough to the French when he caught
them at Waterloo, If you take Edward
word for it.
Nor was he permitted TO lay the splen-
didly appointed dinner table or to serve
no. there was the butler for that and Ed
ward was just the second cook. Likewise
there were no opportunities for use of
his abilities an entertainer. Needed
Mrs. Henderson such, she engaged them
for the evening at staggering prices. Ed
ward was a genius pining for opportuni-
ties, and those opportunities circum-
stances denied him. Then came that glad
day when he was detailed down from the
castle on the hill to the Speakers apart
ment, and Edward has lived happy ever
thereafter.

Day celebration in churches
throughout the world today the
hymn entitled Mother will be
sung by young and old in the Sun
day schools TO the tune of MY
Country. IT'S of Thee 1t fol-
lows:
Mother, That precious name,
Foreyermore the same.
Farth'S sweetest word.
Though ages past have flown,
No sound was ever known
Like that dear name alone,
Or ever heard,
Wondrous, oh. wondrous love.
Most like to that above,
She gave alone
Shamei that our lips we seal
From loving words which heal
Each heartache. and reveal
Love oft unknown.
Oh, what debt we owe,
Our grateful love We'll show
While now may;
More tender yet TO be.
Thoughtful and eagerly
Her slightest need TO see
Each passing day.
Our mothers God. TO thee.
In deep humility,
We lift our prayer.
Keep those we love the best
Through every trial and test,
And may they ever rest
Safe In Thy care.
