" Their Majesties were in South London on Saturday , when they paid a surprise visit to some tenants in Denny - crescent , à part of the Cornwall Duchy property which benefited by the scheme of improvement inaugurated a few years ago . The tenants had not anticipated entertaining Royalty , and one of the ladies visited was clearing up the table after her husband's dinner . " Will your Majesties come in ? " said Mr. Jewell , one of the tenants , who bore the shock with consider able composure . They did , and found the place in excellent order . The Queen inspected the kitchen and scullery arrangements , which the housewife assured her were modern and convenient . Every room was examined . The King paid a tribute to the housekeeping , which the tenant endorsed by remarking , " I've a good wife , your Majesty , " and everybody appeared , satisfied . Among the other tenants as the Labour Member for their Majesties include the opening of the new wing of the British Museum on May 7th , and the opening of a new infirmary at Perth on July 11th . Those who recall with pleasure the fine performances of the Russian Opera Company at Drury Lane last summer will observe with Sir Joseph Beecham's intimation Whites the La King Edward's Chef . King Edward used to think much of Juste Alphonse Ménager , the Royal chef , whose death has been announced . Once his late Majesty took a particular fancy to one of engagements of Ménager's dishes . " Ah ! " he said , " this is Ménager at his best . " Then he corrected him- self . " No , Ménager is always at his best ; this is just one of his inspirations . " Ménager was cook to Baron Alphonse de Rothschild before 1888 , when he entered the kitchen of Marlborough House . After King Edward's accession he earned an ambassadorial salary , with free lodgings near Buckingham Palace interest that a much more ambitious scheme is in pre- paration for next season . From the pre- liminary prospectus I gather than a ten weeks ' programme is mapped out to extend from May to July , during which period large number of new works will be heard for the first time in this country , among them being . the initial operatic work of Stravinsky .
