WOMAN’S PAGE. FAMOUS KNIGHTS OF COOKERY Celebrated Felix Resigred as Chef of Unappreciative Duke of Wellington. BY J. P. GLASS. “‘ZAT, MY LORD, HURTS MY FEELINGS.'” A great chef likes to use his talent for the delectation of great gourmets It turned out that Felix, one-time pre- siding genius of the kitchen of Lord + Seaford, could not waste his abilitics on the Duke of Wellington. ‘The conqueror of Napoleon was a brilliant general. But he seems to have been a bit hazy about the strategies and | the tactics of cookery and eating. Wellington once asked a friend, one of the greatest connoisseurs in England. %o assist him in obiaining a good chef. “Felix, the chef of Lord Seaford, is ur man,” replied this gentleman. “I ppen to know that you can obtain him, too, without embarrassment. Sea- ford is compelled to economize. He will have to release Felix soon.” To the great delight of the duke, he 'was able to relieve Seaford of his che:. | For a period, dinners at his table at AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. | #Jane says there's goin’ to be an un- derstandin’ about Jim’s drinkin’ before they get married, but I don't reckon she’ll talk over her pettin’ inclination.” (Copyrisht, 1930.) | Apsley House were fully worthy of. his | dignity. Some months later his connoisseur friend was dining with Lord Seaford. ‘While the first course still was being served, he exclaimes ‘Ah, 1 find you have got the Duke of Wellington's cook | to dress your dinner! “I have got Felix,” replied his lord- ship, “but he is no longer the duke's cook.” “Why, how is that?” “The poor fellow came to me with | tears in his eyes and begged me to take him back at reduced wages, or no wages at all, for he was determined not to re- | main ‘at Apsley House.” “‘Has the duke been finding fault?’ | L , no, my lord’ said Felix. ‘T would stay if he had: he is the | kindest and most liberal of masters; but | I served him a dinner that would make Ude or Francatelll (two other great | chefs) burst with envy, and he says nothing. I go out and leave him to dine on a dinner badly dressed by the cookmaid and he says nothing. Zat, my lord, hurts my feelings.’” (Copyright, 1930.) Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Rust Spots. Rust spots on table and bed linen can easily be removed by thoroughly mois- tening them with juice squeezed direct- ly from a fresh-cut lemon. The mate- rial should afterward be exposed to bright sunshine. Leave it on for an hour or two and then: rinse out the lemon juice. Sometimes two or three applications of the lemon juice may be necessary before the spots will finally i disappear. ‘To clean taffeta ribbon, be it black or colored, & good plan is to soak it in turpentine, It should be rubbed gently | all the time and then rinsed in fresh ulxrmnexm and ironed between two clean cloths.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Don’t Know. in and again, when confronted by the problems of childhood I have to say to anxious parents, “I don’t know.” ‘There is so little I can be certain about when it comes to children. I am sure they need sleep and food and shelter, a pleasant environment, sun and air and sweet water, friends and sympathetic appreciation, a little help now and then—but of a world of their concerns I am hopelessly ignorant. I don't know, for instance, why one child will begin saving every penny that comes his way at an early age and con- tinue in that xglflt for all his days while another, of the same family, spends everything he has or hopes to have throughout his cheerful life. How can I say why this teacher is fine for this boy and useless for another? All T can do is change the teacher and go ahead. That's one thing about a big school—there is always another teacher for_everybody. ‘Why does one child grow sullen and another snappy in the same situation? Why will silence calm one child and irritate another? One child learns lan- guages s easily as he draws his breath while another is deaf to all tongues but the one he was born to use. I know that there are terms and definitions that cover these strange variations, but that does not explain why they are so, does not disclose a universal law by which all may be set precisely as they ought to be set for harmonious living. Would it be better to have military drill or folk dancing for this child? I don't know. The only way to find out is by trying. The education of a child is achieved through experience, the broader their scope, the richer variety, the better. I don’t know what is best for each child. Nobody knows. Let us approach our task with open minds. There is nothing to be gained by closing one’s mind to any scheme, any plan, any method that promises heip for a child. Every single child is precious and accordingly every single scheme for the betterment ‘of children must be carefully searched for its value to_the child it promises to aid. 1 shy away frem the one who says, “This is the way and there is no other.” It simply is not so. The world is full of good ideas; there are many, many plans for the education of children and most of them are good. They need to be studied in the light of the child who is to be served Our amt difficulty lles in forgetting the child who is being served. The school belongs to everybody and every- body has his say about it but the child for whom the school functions. I think that if he were asked occasionally just what he needed, the answer would aston- ish some of the very positive people concerned about his welfare. ‘There are a few sound and tried prin- ciples of education. On these we stand. But there is a vast fleld for exploration and adventure where “I don't know— let’s find out” becomes the watchword. (Copyright, 1930.)

Grad- ually Flip realized this. Prickly Porky wasn't afraid. No, sir; Prickly Porky wasn’t the least bit afraid. Now, this should have been a warn- i;;'f to Flip. It wasn't. It simply made p angrier than ever. He felt that in 2 way Prickly Porky was showing him disrespect. Yes, sir; that was the way he felt about it. At first he hadn't in- tended to attack Prickly Porky, but now he intended to show this clumsy fellow that, big as he was, he was no match for a courageous little dog. Flip was just preparing to make a sudden rush, in an effort to seize Prickly Porky by the back of the neck, when something queer happened. It quite up- set Flip's dignity. You see, Prickl: Porky, instead of advancing to meet him head first, suddenly turned and moved backward toward Flip. At the same time he seemingly became twice as big as he was before. You see, he had raised the thousand little spears hidden in bis coat. It was all so un- expected that Flip, backing away in a hurry, stumbled over his own feet and actually fell over backward. My, such an angry dog as Flip was then! He scrambled to his feet again and began to dance around Prickly Porky, watching for a chance to rush in and seize him. However, angry as he was, he did notice that Prickly Porky tried to keep back to him. This was something new in Flip's experience. All the other people with whom Flip had ever fought had always faced him. Only to run away did they ever turn back to him. But this queer fellow would back toward him instead of running away. It was a funny way of fighting and Flip didn't know just what to do. However, Flip was by this time so thoroughly angry at being treated in this manner that he was determined to kill Prickly Porky. So he did his best get Prickly Porky off by mak- ing short little rushes at , now from this side and now from that. Somehow, he didn’t want to give Prickly Porky a chance to use those big teeth of his, and 8o he kept watching for a chance BEDTIME STORIE BY THORNTON W.

Sadly Flip turned toward home.
