-Mis. Henry Ford Is probably the
richest woman on tnrth nnd the
troubles of the ordinary wife and
mother are not her troubles. Hut
she has one worry nnd .tjI of the
Ford millions can't help her solve
It. It Is this
Honry nover seems to enjoy a
good meal;
Mrs. Ford told mo so herself
while Henry occasionally turneilja
sheepish eye on her as JC ho' Wro.
ptotestlug "Oh come "uowY I'm not
uh lid as that."
"I eny womon with husbands
who enjoy good square meals" said
MrH. Ford.
Doomi'I Kno (IN .Meals
Jumi about the only cause for
complaint that I've ever bad with
Heniy Is that he eats good roast
bet oi broiled wlilleflsh or baked
beans or eustntd pudding as If it
were ho mufti sawdust. He'll go
through the motions or eating but
with the attitude that It Is so much
waste or time and bother and I
kndw his mind's back In the plant.
"How I sometime: envy women
who can bustle around In a checked
gingham apron in their sunny lit-
tle kitchens beating up this and
that ror their husbands' suppei-i.
thClr eyes Just shining as they can
hardly wait to hear him say 'Yum
yum this tastes like more!'
"Why. Hetuy Ford doesn't even
Hiunck his litis over a good piece
of warm apple pit"." protty. plump
bi own-eyed Mrs. Ford went on as
cue who would say "Now beat that
In a man U you can.
"And the meals that have become
cold waiting for him!"
"Or course." Mrs. Ford softened
her Indictment of Henry as ho turn-
ed patient and pleading eyes upon
her "l do think that altogether too
much fuss Is made over toon tonay
I think most women ate aerw
Ing too rich too elaborate ioous w
their families and guests. 1 think
that the simplo faro we nil knew as
children S.itujday night pots of
baked hoans. baked spples baked
potato and onion soup brown
htead. mother's apple pie home-
made cheese was the food that
made titrong mlndn and bodies. We
have too many frothy whipped
creamy highly seasoned foods to-
day. "In my own home" hern Mrs.
Ford flusliod a little as If tpologlz-
Ing for malting ono a mi conscious
of her position. "In our own homo
with oulto a bit of entertaining i
find It rather hard to sv-
simple meals I would like to. But
i trv n riiminnto much or the su
perfluous nnd unnecessary."
Mrs. Ford told me. as If surprised
that anyone could oven wonder
about It thai sho took comploto
ohnrge of her own kitchen pan-
ning tho meals supervising tho
cooks and oven occasionally takln-;
a whirl at a dish herself.
"I lovo cooking and I love kitch
ens." sho told me. "Somn of the
happiest hours or my llfo wero spent
(n warm sunny old-fashioned kitch-
ens popping corn making fudge
and taffy Playing games.
"Why In the early days when
Mr. Ford was working on his In-
vention we Just .lived In the kitch-
en." Happy memories brought rosy
