death.
Menager died in his home at Ac-
ton, western suburb of London,
having retired from his professional
career. although he served for brief
period with queen Alexandra after
the death of her husband. He lived
the life of a gentleman of case.
Many are the good stories told of
the relations between the greatest

ter. 1t was said that the royal cook
enjoyed a higher salary than many
Cabinet Ministers. for he was paid
$4,000 year. besides perquisites.
His unique skill as an organizer was
such that he only needed to drive
down in his neat hrongnam to the
royal kitchens and taste the dishes to
know in a second wnetner he orders
had been carried out with the exacti-
tude he required.

There are no lengths to which the
