Cabinet Party.
Green took out a party two years
ago which included every member
Of the Presidents Cabinet. The
party was attempting to locate
sites for plants to extract nitrogen
from the air, and upon which some
hundreds OF millions Of dollars
had been spent before the war was
over. He also cocks for those
Congressional parties that now
and again 90 to the home Of some
member who has died, there to per-
form the final rites. He cooked
for the Belgian mission which came
here and travelled about the United
States for tWenty-siX days, and he
says that these lOWlanders seemed
to have peculiarly good appetites,
which may have been partly due
to the prevalence Of short rations
in Europe. He cooked for the mis-
sion from Brazil, headed, by the
President-elect of that country,
used none Of the condiments dear
to the heart Of the Latin-American,
but heard only approval Of his fare.
He was to have cooked for the
King and Queen OF Belgium, but
there was imminent likelihood that
the President would want TO go
jOUrneying during the next few
weeks so he was held in reserve.
Paid by Government.
This cook to dignitaries when
they travel used to be paid by the
Pullman company. Now he is on
the rolls of the Railroad Admin
istratiOn and is paid by the Gov
eminent. He gets the modest sum
of $11O a month. There are prob
ably perquisites. The amount of
the tips he receives is not revealed.
There are five little Greens at
home who must be fed.

a one-time ambassador to this coun-

cOachman to the ambassador. As
education is so often the basis for
success in life, so has it been with

began his career as a butler, and

By Frederic J. Haskin.

served plainly" /" says Green. There
should be few mixtures and few
sauces. The manner Of cooking
followed by the early huntsmen
was the right method. Such food
retains its flavor and is good for
the stomach. DR.. Grayson and ]
realized that we were associates
as guardians Of the Presidents
health, / always feel that the
health Of those for whom cook is
in my hands. It is a responsible
ity, and / try to live up to it.
Taft a Good Feeder.
Preparing food for President
Taft was quite a different matter
from preparing it for Mr.. Wilson.
President Taft took his bacon and
eggs for breakfast, but followed
them with steak or chops-sOme-
times seven or eight chops.
For lunch he had creamed oys-
ters, rice custard and other rich
foods, IN addition to the customary
dishes. For dinner he wanted a
heavy soup, lobster NeWberg,
roast beef, vegetables, Smithfield
ham, salad, fruit, dessert. The
pastries and the ice creams for
the Tafts were rich in sugar, while
the Wilson's require little sugar.
Green states that one peculiar
thing about his ten years of serv-
ice as cook for presidents is that
he never saw a man in that office
smoke a cigar or cigarette nor
take a drink Of intoxicating liquor.
He wonders if there is something
in the Constitution which forbids
these indiscretions.
Quite in contrast with the plain
fare Of Presidents, according to the
Pullman cOmpanys most exclusive
cook, is the manner Of the cater
ing that he has done for individu-
ais who travel about Ia private
cars. When PieTpOnt Morgan goes
to his lodge in North Carolina, he
serves meals much more elaborate.
When plum pudding is served with
brandy, the blue flame must be
playing up from that brandy at the
time of its coming to the table, and
when this is but a typical course
in a meal, the whole thing be-
comes much more elaborate
When, again, a private car is side
tracked at Newport, and the hotels
are so crowded that a satisfactory
dinner may not be obtained, hos

HERE AND THERE

From papers IN the middle WesI
have come clippings showing that
there Is some kind Of propaganda al
work IN favor Of the Women's bureau
in our police department The clip
pings are an headed with a picture
Of Mrs. Nina G. Van Winkle and the
text Is as follows
"Tbe Woman's bureau OF the
Washington Police Department
has been under fire at Congress
sional committee hearing for tho
last few days. Mrs. Nina G. Van
Wrinkle Of Newark, ~. j. is chief
Of the bureau. Mrs. Van Wrinkle
testified that Edward B. Mclean,
editor and owner Of the Washing
ton Post. threatened 20 use his
influence "on the H1r' as well az
his newspaper TO have the bureau
abolished.
Mr.. Mclean, however, denied
making any such threats. but de-
clared that the bureau Is a dan
gerOUs toy for women to play
with" Mr.. Mclean may or may
not be right as TO whether the
police bureau in Washington is
dangerous toy" Even if it is
uaN NEEAuAas M mclean VIII nave
a hard time proving that 10 is
dangerous for women and safe for
men ito play with" Mr.. Mclean
would abolish the bureau because
it Is dangerous to play with"
IL is strange that he has not con
sidered abolishlng matches and
flre which as every one knows are
also dangerous to play with"
The abolition Of the department
is clearly not the way 70 meet any
difficulties that arise from having
a wOman's bureau IN the Police
Department. Since the department.
must deal with women as well as
men there IS surely need OF a
woman's bureau and to abolish it
would be a step backwards.
