ART OF A FAMOUS COOK.
31. Douglas Douay, a famous French cook, who for many years before the war was chief pastrycook to Queen Alexandra, is now head cook of the Palais du Peuple, the Salvation Army establishment in Paris. M. Douay, whose present job consists of cooking 600 menls a day for poor people, recalls in an interview the days when the present Prince of Wales—then a boy aged 14—used to come into the Royal kitchen for a cake or a pie. In his kitchen at the Salvation Army 31. Douay has placed a picture of his masterpiece, a birthday cake for the Queen, which he made in 1912. Weighing 801 b., it was designed to represent the side of a cliff with sugar houses, boats, and electrically-lighted trains running through tunuels of caudy.
