Chef of Great
Smith Street
By GERALD BRENAN
(Copyright.)
"Ah, ni'sieu'i Does not m'sieu' re
member me? I am Gouvin."
Wnndesford stared at the speaker
in mute astonishment. Could this
seedy, starved-looking specimen of hu
manity be Indeed Gouvin?—Gouvin,
the famous chef whose cookery had
been the talk of Paris?
"But the duke of Montmirail? You
were his prize chef."
Gouvin lifted both hands In elo
quent protest. "Ah, m'sleu'," he
cried, "it is a sad story. Will m'sieu'
care to hear?"
Installed at a table in a modest res
taurant, Gouvin opened his heart
"It was at the Hotel de Montmi
rail," he explained. "I was at the ze
nith of my glory. All Paris spoke of
my dinners. His grace loaded me with
honors. I lost my head, to such dizzy
heights did I seem to soar.
"The duke worshiped at the shrine
of Mile. Mlml Martigues of the Vari
eties. In an evil moment I allowed
myself to fall in love with that fair
est of mortals. She invited me to
call and wheedled out of me the recipe
for the famous Sauce de Montmirail—
the joint Invention of the duke and
myself.
"As we sat together the duke him
self entered unexpectedly. Then the
false Miml denounced me ns an up
start menial who had dared to pose
ns bis master's rival.
"I was kicked out of Mind's house
and the next day dismissed from the
Hotel de Montmirail.
Suddenly there came to Wnndesford
an inspiration.
"By Jove, Gouvin," he exclaimed, "I
have it. You shall start n restaurant
of your own in my house in Great
Smith street.
II.
Reggie Van Hoopen rushed into the
smoking-room of the Tepee club, sim
mering with excitement.
"Hullo, Reggie!" snng out one of
the youthful loungers, "you linve got a
secret—I can tell by your manner."
"I say," Reggie exclaimed, "does any
one here know where Great Smith
street is?"
There was a general head-shaking.
"Then let mo tell you," continued
Reggie. "I was there Inst night. I
hnd dinner there. And such a dinner!
It was the best, the very best, I linve
ever indulged In.
"Well, my friend Wnndesford," con
tinued Van Hoopen, "asked me to din
ner last night. I was simply pining
for a little excitement and when lie
suggested a voyage into the unknown
regions of the lower East side, I
Jumped at the proposition. Of course
I did not Intend to eat anything there.
I merely wanted to see n little low
life and have n little adventure.
"I assure you that I was well re
paid. Out of n cellar came nn old
chap in genuine cook's rig and Wnndes
ford and lie had n talk. I pride my
self on my French ; but I really
couldn't keep pace with those two.
"By and by dinner began to come in.
The first sight of the soup set me
thinking. Just to please Wnndesford,
I took a spoonful. Tt was simply a
triumph ! Never in all New York can
you heat that 'potage a In Central
rnrk.' Thereafter I capitulated ; and
from soup to dessert, I did not miss
a course. There were some 'eoctellettes
aux Monseigneur le Duc'— I suppose
the chef took me for a duke — that
haunt my palate still."
For some minutes there was silence
in the smoking-room. Then the dean
of the loungers said solemnly:
"Reggie, Is this a practical Joke? If
it Is—''
"Good heavens, no!" cried Mr. Van
Hoopen. "Everything happened just
ns I told you. The dinner was superb.
The chef is a treasure. Tell you
what, let us go over there In a body
tonight. I'll notify Wnndesford, and
he can net ns guide. If the Great
Smith street cellar Is not just as I say,
I promise to pay the entire reckoning."
III.
' Wnndesford strolled down the cel
lar steps in Great Smith street, a tele
gram in his hands. At the Kitchen
table sat Gouvin, concocting a vision
ary menu.
"IIullo, Gouvin, victory is ours!
To-night you must prepare dinner for
2ô persons."
A smile of Joy overspread the chefs
features.
••••••*
It was Thanksgiving evening, n
murky, misty Thanksgiving, when the
delegation from the Tepee club stole
stealthily along Great Smith street
and disappeared into the Gouvin cel
lar.
The dinner at the "Restaurant
Gouvin" was nil that Reggie Van
Hoopen had painted It. At the close
of the feast Gouvin was sent for.
Wandesford, in the name of the
guests, complimented him heartily on
the dinner and Gouvin was induced to
give an account of the events which
led to his downfall and exile. The
love affnlr with the now famous Miml
Martigues completed his conquest of
the Tepeeans.
"Come with us," said the chairman
of the Tepee house committee.
Today Gonvln is chef of the Tepee
club, with a salary equal to that of a
United States senator. Over his own
luxurious apartments presides his wife,
a somewhat faded, almost forgotten
stage celebrity, once famous as the
beautiful Miml Martigues. The duke
of Montmirail, it is said, still talks of
tbe unrivaled chef he was so unfor
innate as to lose.

Life was bitter on Delia's tongue—
the great McCliesney had failed her!
Now, McCliesney may have had no
part in the workings of the solar sys
tem, or any possible surveillance over
the elements but it Is certain that the
grayness of the spring dusk and the
chill which penetrated Delia's brown
jacket when she stepped from the em
ployees' door of the biggest store were
traceable to that gentleman.
McChesney needs no introduction ;
he looked like an imported opera tenor,
and sold shirts and gentlemen's hose;
he wore knitted, flaring neckties which
represented a wide and appreciative
feminine following.
His past was checkered with Delias,
and his future promising; he was sug
gestive of musk, throat-tablets, and
bay rum.
So much for McChesney.
He had Invited Della out to dinner,
and incidentally transformed her
world Into an Eden of artificial palms
and table d'hote, an enchanted wood
fragrant with musk and hay rum.
But today McChesney had failed
her.
Late in the nftemoon she saw him
tnlking with Maisie Tompkins, of the
jewelry.
Delin lived in New York in a lower
West Side furnished room.
When Delia reached her furnished'
room the evening that McChesney had
sent her world tumbling about her the
usual atmosphere of soaping clothes
and warming stew smote her with un
usual pungency.
She lighted her one-fourth candle
power gas jet. Then she sat down on
the edge of lier couch-lied and stared
at herself In the dresser mirror.
No gentleman had ever taken her
out before.
There had been another, Charley
Spuggs. He hnd gone out of her life
when he left the linrdwnre department
for the vague West, and his memory
and his promises were as dim as the
tintype on her dresser.
There came a knock at her door.
Her landlady stood there.
"A gen'lemnn down-stairs, Miss Del
iy—Mr. Spuggs!"
"Tell him I'll be down," she said.
She buttoned up her blouse and went
down-stairs.
Charley Spuggs bounded up three
steps to meet her.
"I've come hack, Delly!" he cried.
"For what?"
Ills elbow poked at her arm, a hnbit
she recalled.
"Fer you—I'm ready for you, honey,"
he chuckled, and watched her fuce
for the effect of the bomb he hnd ex
ploded.
"I'm mnkln' eighteen a week now—
second assistant foreman, and I got
a cottage rented fer us just two blocks
from the foundry—garden in front and
stationary washtuhs—eh, Delly? That
nin't had fer a fellow like me?"
Della moistened her lips.
"You're getting there, Charley," she
replied.
"Eighteen per ain't bad money," she
agreed.
He took her to a "Tables for Ladies"
lunch room.
"Pittsfield's n tnnk town, ain't it?"
she asked suddenly.
"It ain't, when you git used to it—
you'll have a grand time, Delly—there's
four rooms In the cottage, and sta
tionary washtuhs. I ain't got no more
hankering after tills burg."
Charley took in a noisy mouthful
of coffee.
"We'll lie something in Pittsfield,
all right, all right."
His sense of assurance and posses
sion frightened her.
"One room in New York bents ten
in a Reuh town," insisted Delia.
He crumpled his paper napkin into
a tight wad.
"What do you get out of New York,
I'd like to know?"
"I guess you're right," said Delly,
jabbing at the butter; "it ain't no life."
Charley Spuggs leaned across the
table, and his nondescript face was
even mellow.
"We're going to be married in the
morning and clear out on the twelve
thirty—you're going to he a lady, honey
—four rooms and stationary tubs."
They were out on the streets again.
Almost simultaneously, Delia caught
a glimpse of McChesney. He was alone
and it gave her a shock.
Then the human flux closed about
the gorgeous man, and Delly felt
Charley's arm poking hers.
"How about it, Delia; is it the
twelve-thirty, tomorrow?"
"Yes," replied Delia suddenly.
In the grimness of the front hall
Charley printed a smacking kiss on the
cheek she turned to him.
"Good night, honey. Be ready be
fore nine?"
Then she closed the door after him
and went upstairs.
There was a small box on her dres
ser.
It was a one-pound box of chocolate
bonbons; underneath the lace paper
was a note written In lead pencil.
Dear Kiddo:
Sweets to the sweet. Will you come
to the hop with me tomorrow night
at Cloot's If I call around for you?
After a while she crossed to her
trunk, lifted out the top tray and
dived—she came up with a small pair
of dancing slippers.
She polished them carefully, and
placed them on the window sill to dry.
Then she undressed and fell asleep
with a smile on her slightly parted

MENTAL HABITS.
No one escapes trouble, so whatever
may be your condition yon have no
monopoly in suffering. You have your
compensations. Don't whine and get
the complaint habit "Make the best
of things." This homely phrase IS,
after all, the shibboleth of life, it Is
the faculty of seeing some good—of
drawing some inspiration from the
most hidden source, that makes life
endurable, that glorifies It Life is
pleasant or unpleasant hard or easy,
according to the way you look at it,
the way you think of life. Thoughts
govern action, and he who governs his
thoughts is master of his destiny. Des
tiny is not about you, but within
you. Healthful, hopeful, optimistic
thoughts are essential to strong minds
and bodies.
Worry Is one of the very bad men
tal hnbits; It injures beyond repair
certain cells of the brain ; and the
brain being the nutrient center of the
body, the other orgnns become gradu
ally Injured, and when some disease
of these orgnns or a combination of
them arises, death finally ensues. Thus
may the Imbit of worrying kill. Only
too often mental habits nrp morbid
in their nature, and consequently cast
a morbid Influence upon the physical
system over which they rule. Espe
cially is this true when our minds are
centered on the involuntary functions
of the body. A man who has his mind
constantly upon his digestion will soon
have Indigestion. Nature purposes to
run her own machinery, and when we
undertake to supplant tt by human
plans or artificial ways we destroy the
natural process nnd disease results.
Thinking of what Is eaten during or
after meals is a dangerous practice,
nnd If continued until it becomes a
habit will be a greater obstacle In the
way of curing auy disease of the storu
neh than any other factor.
A person who suffers pnln, and
suffers his mind to revert to tt con
stantly, establishes a nerve habit of
pnln, nnd the sense of pain grows,
while the capacity to endure pain less
ens. There can be no greater calam
ity to chronic Invalids than that they
get together and tell their ailments to
each other. Such a course is but nurs
iug disease and rendering it less cur
uble. It should always be the aim to
cultivate reverse habits of expres
sion to those we feel during ill
ness. Sickness Is not the least of the
opportunities In life. It Is the time
for reflection. It does not come by ac
cident usually, but Is the effect of a
cause. Reason and reflect upon the
cause rather than the effect. The break
In the wrong modes of living which
Is present affords the best opportu
nity to change the bad mental habits
and a start in better ways.
Many people go into society Just for
the purpose of telling their aches and
pains nnd troubles. Such people should
be sent to the pest house and kept In
quarantine until they nre cured; they
are ns untouched by the myriad happy
Influences of life as the mole is by the
light of a stnr or the flash of a comet.
They sny "No one Is as bad off ns I
am." Their salutation Is nlways one
that plunges at once into the condition
of the liver, stomach, nerves, or some
bodily ailment. Forget it I Don't get
the hnbit of talking'' about sickness
with every one you meet. Can't you
find a topic of conversation more ele
vating than that of your aches nnd
pains nnd troubles?
Cheerfulness is to the body whnt
sunshine Is to vegetation. Hence with
a person who is in search of health,
the essential tiling to do is to cultivate
cheerfulness, hopefulness, courage, and
not allow one's self to think of his ills,
much less to talk about them, except
to those who mny find it necessary to
know them In order to properly direct
his life. LEARN HOW TO LIVE.

Life Is the Interval between one

Fatigue which Is not recovered from

The aim of life Is to produce the

The requirements of health are good
air, good food, suitable clothing, clean

• • •
Work keeps the human being In con

are necessary to his health.

Self-distrust will destroy you ; trust
surrender, abandon yourself; believe

The way to live long Is to live wise
