pleased at the great temperance
wave which has swept over England II
since the beginning OF the war.
Like all English women, tho
Queen was very fond Of her tea. 4
She paid 800 per pound for .ea inn
ported from special plantation in
Central China. The Queen knew all
Of her employees Of the kitchen bys
their first names. She knew where
all the supplies and utensils were
kept. And she kept a careful record
Of the foodstuffs on hand. She was
always quick to economic if it could
be done without interfering, with the
nutrition of the food product
THE Queen did not hold a very
high opinion Of a woman who could
not cook. She was interested in
several domestic science schools in \
London, and many women today owe
their cooking education to Queen
Victoria.
Sample Dinner
of Royalty
The daily menu at Buckingham,
Palace. which was prepared under
my supervision. with frequent sug-s
gestiOns from the Queen, was not so
elaborate. Here is a typical menu:
Portagc-Puree la Refine;
Consomme n la Colbert.
Fish-Filet OF sole. butter
sauce. turbot, Hollondaise.
Entrees-Fiet of beef. flnan-
ciere, petit timbale, la valliere.
Roasts-Pheasant, capon au
jus.
Relieves Cabinet pudding,
Roman punch.
Salade-Hothouse tomatoes,
lettuce, French dressing. e.
Dessert Biscuit glaces, Char
lotte russo. II
| Cheese, crackers, dollhouse
grapes, demitasse. coffee. bon
hons.
There were always cold meats,
including beef and lamb, on the side-Y
board
II always enjoyed the Yuletide5
season in the palace, for the Queen
spent much time in the kitchen pre-
pairing plum buildings. She gave
away many puddings as Christmas
! presents. and her friends were glad
TO get them, for they were the most
luscious English plum buildings in;
the world
Don't you think that American
| women should be heartily ashamed
| of their wasteful methods when the
Queen OF a great empire, with the
riches of Solomon at her command,
practiced the greatest economy in
her kitchen? I think So"
Patriotism Is
Inspiring Women
But another cause is making our
women strive to practice economy in
their kitchen, Mrs Wilson believes,
and that is the sincere purpose OF
every woman to do her bit to win
this war. Patriotic motives are,
driving our housewives into their
kitchens, sending them to their ice
boxes and bread bins in the effort
to make every scrap count, she said.
All this make for the regenera-
/ ton of the American housewife. Mrs.
! Wilson thinks. And it will make
for the future regeneration of the
whole race along health lines IL
every woman accepts her share in
the common burden. 1t is to reach
every woman that Mrs Wilson pur-s
poses to give demonstrations at the;
! food fair.
Wants Visitors
to Experiment
Tell the women to bring along
their aprons and to come prepared
TO make things" she declared. 1.-THE
hand is twice as quick as the eve:
only practice makes perfect"
War bread recipes over which Mrs.
Wilson has worked overtime to sun
ply the demand, three or four OF
which she has never, before given
out; lessons on substitutes; how to
make sauces without butter, how to
make pastry without flour and war
cakes without sugar, potato Par
ker House roll, and genuine corn
dodgers all these according to-
Hoover-she will share with our
women. Canning without sugar will
also be demonstrated.
Mrs. Wilson has proved to the
naval authorities that she could
feed their men three meals a day at
from 2S TO 33 cents per day; that
she could bring down their total
cooking waste to figure of less
than one-half OF / per cent; that
she could make pie without white
