KITCHEN IMMORALITY
The statue to be erected to Jean Close as 'the inventor of pate de foie gras, ia but a poor meed of fame compared with the immortality tradition has conferred on other—and lesser—pioneers of the kitchen, observes the " Morning Post." He is to" be commemorated in stone, but the very name of Sally Lnnn, the little serving maid\who ran about Bath delivering the cakes her mistress made, has passed into our language. Dr. Oliver, of the same. city, is forgotten as a -physician, but remembered for his biscuits. ' The once great fame of Ahernethy still endures in another biscuit. Poets, statesmen/ and warriors have laboured and died, and are forgotten, but the name of a gambling earl persists in every sandwich. While to generations yet unborn peche Melba will recall a. great singer. •
