THE old race Of English cooks.

made England cooking famous

THE old race Of English cooks.
whose roast beef and buildings
made England cooking famous
all over the world. is fast pass
ing away. With the death OF Thomas
Davey, who, for a period Of forty-seven
years. was the presiding genius of a
famous London kitchen. the last of the
world-known English cooks has gone.
Starting life as a cooks apprentice
in a tavern in Fleet street. Davey first
entered the kitchen of Simpsons in 1861
as assistant roast" cook, but his
skill soon put him at the head of the
kitchen. where. until his death. he was
in command Of a staff OF 100 men. No
dish was ever sent up to the dining
rooms until it was critically examined
by himself, and under his superinten-
dence !, 400 pounds Of English meat. 800
pounds of turbot, 100 pounds Of Scotch
salmon. 100 pounds or Dover soles, and
two wagonfuls of vegetables were on
an average daily prepared for the table
Davey himself was British 20 his
backbone. Head cook" not chef"
he insisted upon calling himself. and he
not only refused to have anything to
do with a dinner should the menu be
printed in French, but he never for a
moment entertained an application for
an appointment on the kitchen staff
from men who did not come from
some part OF the British Isles.
Davey had contempt for new-fangled
methods in the kitchen, and insisted
that every joint should be cooked in the
true English fashion, on a spit before
an open fire. 1t might be thought
that this king Of the kitchen" was in
consequence regarded as somewhat old
fashioned by other restaurants, but as
matter of fact time after time great
restaurants in New York and on the
Continent tried to lure Davey away
from Simpsons. They asked him to
name his own price" but he refused
to leave the restaurant which he re-
garded as his home; so much so. that

during his forty-seven years In the
Strand he was only absent for six days
on sick leave.
Davey had very pleasant recollections
of the old days when Dickens, Thack-
cray. George Augustus Sala, Sir Henry
Irving, and John Toofe were regular
frequenters Of Simpsons all Of whom
admired Dayey's supreme skill as an
English cook.
One of Davey's most interesting recol-
lections was that Of the late King Ed
ward. who when Prince Of Wales, WIS.,
tied simpsons and entertained a party
of friends in private at the old house
before the restaurant was rebuilt. The
royal host and his guests sat at the
famous round table. This mahogany,
by the way. Is SO large that 1t could
not be taken in or out OF the room,
and the new simpsons was built around
it without removal.

When you for a girl--why. the world is place
That only created for holding her,
And the days but light that ilumnes her face
And the night but mantle unfolding her.
And when you working when you're at play
FOUR mind will not turn from the theme of her,
You and you think OF her always by day.
And when IT comes nighttime you dream of her
Where you for girl-and the girl for you,
Life seems like pilgrimage glorious.
Where the breezes sweet and the skys always blue
And love is forever victorious;
When you for girl and the girl doesn't care
Well, fe's dull and gray-there's doubt OF it,
And it's hard to keep with sayhearted air
When the light and the JOY have gone out OF ~.
