A Personal Touch: The Cafeteria Displays and Culinary Talents of Elizabeth Mertens


From the early 1940s and into the 1970s, visitors to the Supreme Court’s cafeteria were greeted with handmade holiday displays created by the cafeteria’s manager, Elizabeth “Betty” Mertens. Fondly known throughout the Court for her festive displays, which often featured flowers from her garden, Mertens also baked cakes and other treats for staff birthdays and the Justices’ special occasions. Justice Harold H. Burton once said her cakes entitled her the honor of being a “friend of the Court,” and on a 1948 photograph inscribed to her, Justice Robert H. Jackson quoted Earl Robert Bulwer-Lytton: “We may live without poetry, music and art / we may live without conscience and live without heart / we may live without friends, we may live without books / But civilized man cannot live without cooks.”
