Let them cheer up—it might have been worse. In fact, it used to be not nearly so good. An American woman in Paris writes home that she has been per- mitted to inspect the imperial kitchen of the Tuileries, where the dinners of Napoleon and Eugenie were cooked in the luxurious days of the Third Empire. What did she seo there to admire and envy? “Tts high arched ceiling rests on massive columns, and it is di- vided into many sections, at the entrance to each of which there is a sign in gold letters on suurble—TRotisserie,’ ‘Patisserie,’ ‘Section aux Sauces,’ etc. The arrangements for washing gold, silver and porce- lain services, the tremendous roasting, boiling and broiling accom- modations, the extra roast beef oven fifteen feet high and twenty | feet broad, the barbecue attachment with a capacity for six whoie| sheep and four dozen chickens at a time, all looked extra large and | imposing to us, who have been accustomed to worry along in a flat | kitchen.” | At the same time she looked in vain amid all this imperial splen- dor for certain things that her flat kitchen does contain, or nobody nen. war nnes: would rent it, such as electric lights, a gas range, a sink with open plumbing, and stationary washtubs. —_——++-- - —__. THACKERAY AND GAUTIER. WO of the most popular of the birth centenaries of world celebrities commem- orated this year are those of William Makepiece Thackeray, the English novelist, and Theophile Gautier, French poet, jour- nalist, critic and literary stylist. Of the two, Thack- eray, of course, comes near- er to the hearts of English- speaking peoples. While he did not in his lifetime rival the immediate vogue of his brilliant contemporary, Charles Dickens, his equal permanency in literature seems now as- tured, “Vanity Fair,” “Esmond” and “The Newcomes” stand the lest of time as well as “Pickwick,” “David Copperfield” and the “Tale of Two Cities”—some incline to think even better, Thackeray wrote | in a gentlemanly way about snobs, When Dickens wrote about gentle- nen, which was but rarely, it was not without a certain suspicion of snobbishness, But the fun and philosophy of Thackeray and Dickens | olike are sound, wholesome and Anglo-Saxon, Gautier was a Latin, with the pagan sense of artistry and beauty. Ae a youth he wrote a story or two which even the French regarded as immoral, and when his friend Victor Hugo’s romantic play of | “Hernani” was produced, a triumphant protest agajnst the stuffy old classic drama, Gautier wore a red badge of revolt in the form of a roseate waistcoat which gained an early Tim Woodruff renown. Owing chiefly to these two circumstances, the author of the historical | novel, “Captain Fracasse,” and the exquisite poet of the “Enamels and | Cameos,” is too often unjustly set down as the type and symbol of | bohemianism. As a matter of fact, the real Gautier was a sober, in- dustrious and fairly well-to-do citizen, a home-loving husband and | father, and to the end of his days (be died in 1872, in his sixty-first | sear) an indefatigable newspaper worker, turning out his daily col- umns of live-stuff copy. Yet he found time to write the gorgeous descriptions of his travels in Spain, Italy and Russia, which hold their permanent place in literature. His poems furnish many a familiar including that striking line about the immortality quotation to-day. of art: “The | bust outlives the throne—the coin, Tiberius.” Letters From the People Evening World Daily Magazine How to Protect Your Home.

Whereupon everybody said: “How sensible! For onlya GRUB would be wilting to sit at the foot of a throne and sing pacons of proted and adoration.” And apparently they were right, for during the fred | year or two the grub was the most willing little “super” that ever stood im the wings and applauded. And she edt around and sounded his hallelujahe until her throat was sore. But they forgot to reckon with the fact that a grud has a brain eo ema that it is easily turned. After a while the wife began to imdide some of the wisdom that contin wally dropped from the lps of the geniue. Whenever she would repeat hte brilliant sayings to people they would exclaim: “How clever! And it never occurred to her that she had not satd something ortoinah In fact, the reflected light in which she shone got into her eyes and 60 dazzled her that she began to see doubdle, and to imagine that she wae @ butterfly destined to soar in the “luminous void" on her own account. Thereupon she decided that she was not Truly Mated in the “Essentiad Sense.” She made up her mind to escape from the reflected effulgence, which was dimming her glory, and to get into the SPOT-LIGHT hereelf. And she found a lot of sycophants and near-geniusce who were willing to em courage her and to agree with anything she said in return for an invitation to dinner. “Bo she went to her husdand and told him that she was “just as good as he was,” and that she was going to project her “aural influence” into the coemic ether and get the bouquets that were coming to her. And the hueband said: “Ohverywell!” But when she had packed her trunk and gone out into the cold, har@ | world, she discovered that every time she opened her mouth to distribute | pearls of thought people looked at each other and murmured: “Oh, where have we heard that before?” She tried “doing things,” one after another, from writing hiph-brow | poems to going on the stage. But everything she said or did was so uke | something that had, been done BEFORE that she became a perpetual echo, In short, the reflected light having been turned off, she found that hey audience had fled and that she was nothing but a grub after all, Moral: It 4s better to be an original washerwoman than an imitation genius.
