The record for the order for the
Newport wedding was found, and
an exact duplicate of the cake was
made with the same sort of small
boxes to go with it. Inasmuch as
Jerome had served at Newport, 1t
was decided that he should repre-

Jerome was preceded to Wash

had been served, the part of the
large cake which remained was
taken to a hospital at which

Reverberations of the marriage
of Princess Bertha Cantacuzene
and Bruce Smith, of Kentucky, are
still being heard, for in spite OF
the simplicity of the wedding, it
was an event of national interest.
And an exceptionally interesting
little story anent the ceremony is
now going the rounds.
Twenty-six years ago Jerome,
known to all New York society, Of
ficiated at the cutting Of the cake
when Miss Julia Dent Grant was
married to Prince Michael Can
tacuzene at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. Potter Palmer, in Newport.
Last week he came to Washington
to perform the same service when
their daughter was married to the
young Kentuckian at the home of
her grandmother, Mrs. Frederick
Dent Grant.
Jerome, who has been at Sherry's
for more than thirty years. brought
the cake with him from New York
and delivered it personally at the
Grant residence. 1t took a special
section in the Pullman car for the
cake, which was four and a half
feet high, and at Washington 1t
was found that an ordinary taxicab
was not large enough to provide
room for the cake, so it was neces-
sary to carry it in a touring car.
A short time before the final
plans for the wedding were made
letter was received at SherrXs
from Princess Cantacuzene saying,
II would like to order the we'd
ding cake from you for the sake
of tradition Will YOU look back

No growing child should be allowed to eat
all the things which the adult at the same
table can eat. But within the range OF ap-
propriate foods he should be trained to eat
everything that is offered him. And it should
never dawn on him that he has any latitude
in this matter Naturally, he will not like
all foods equally well. It would hardly be
reasonable to expect young Freddie to
clamor for carrots and spinach in prefer
ence to ice cream But if Mother chooses
carrots and spinach he should eat them.
And the choice should rest with Mother.
More, much more than diet is involved in
this matter. The comfort Of society at large
is involved Why should one small child be
allowed to inconvenience large masses of
adultsY If it were inevitable, it might be
