To speak rightly. Louis XVIII. considered that the order had never ceased to exist, for he had given two collars iluring his exile, In 1810, the one to Francis L, king of the two Sicilies, and the other to his brother, the Prince of Salerno, the father of his brother's wife, the Duchess d'Aumalc. The ribbon of this order was a light blue color. It was worn around lie neck In the reigns of Henry III. and Henry IV.. but was changed by Louis XIV.. when It was worn across the elicit. Tlio Chevaliers of the St. lisprit were always known under the name of Les Cordon Bleu, and this was the su preme honor during the monarchy of France. It was from this that the title of "cordon bleu" was given to a llrst class cook. A gentleman one day de clared after a good meal that he who had cooked the dinner had proved him self a "cordon bleu" among cooks In other words, the muster of hli art. The title became quite the rage and Is now always used to designate a good cook without the persons who use It know ing what it menus or still less the ori gin of the title. iliV&lULUilbil(lblblblUiibibUUlkbbibUJtfcllllUilbUjil(kltiiblt'liiilbib)blliibiVUblliUiaiiUlll J i a 4 SAY, HISTER!
