Duchess Loans Sybil Cadogan is

but especially so to me, writes a Lon
don correspondent in the Pittsburgh
Gazette, because Of little domestic Sc
cret which is more or less typical of
our allied nations at present. The
Duchess of Marlborough happens to
have famous maitre de cuisine. Mons.
Pierre Coumeigs. who for the last eight
or nine years has been chef to the
American duchess at Sutherland House.
Some months ago when her eldest son,
the Marquis of Blandford. was invaded
home from the front suffering from ap-
pendicitis, her grace practically took
up her residence In Brighton, and
therefore cut down her London estab-
lishment in Curzon street considerably.
Lord Derby at that time was bereft of
a cook, owing to the exigencies of war.
and the duchess suggested that she
should lend to him her extra special
artist to serve his lordship in Derby
House. The arrangement was conclud-
ed and Mons. Coumeigs, who is most
ardent French patriot with two sons
serving in the army, was handed over
by the American duchess to the English
earl: in this way making a triplicate
entente cordiale" that ha sheen prob
ably strengthened and solidifted by the
delightful results that emanate even
from a wartime economy kitchen to the
table of one of England's war lords.
am told that a dinner celebrating
the engagement between Lord Derby's
heir and the attractive bride elect was
served last week, and that the menu
was exquisite and typical of the ro-
mantle feeling that Frenchman can
even suggest in food and English
the bill of fare" was submitted to
Lord Davenport, the food controller!
I believe that Mons. Coumeigs invented
for the occasion new sweet made OF
Strawberries which he dedicated to

headdress for the billowy bridal veil

worn by brides of the month was
edged all around in silver. The veil

by shirring to the very center OF a

in place by a silver chin strap.

ed at the big Missouri sale was the
best he had ever seen.

That a state Of war now exists be-
