CARUSO'S CHEF IS
SPAGHET EXPERT;
1
KILE
. By Winifred Vandnzer
tniTerut SottIc. Stiff Correspondent. .
New York, Dec. 16. Even (t he is
king of tenor. his last in foods Js
simple, craving only a bite of spa
ghetti and grated cheese. And Mrs.
Enrico Caruso has lived at hotels
so Ion that anything in .the way , of
home cooking satisfies her, though
she likes, plain dishes now and then,
.especially for breakfast.
' Carlo Ragozzlno, who Is asking the
court hre to direct the Carusos to give
him J850 for alleged breach of contract,
and who .declares that in all this so
beautiful America there is no chef who
can turn out such shining, , squirming
spaghetti as himself, swears tbat this
is what they told him ere ever he was
lured to the side of the opera singer's
gas range.
COULDN'T COUXT DISHES
"Today Justice Eder, sitting In the
ninth district court, told why he found
It necessary to reserve decision In the
case. He said : -"
"Hsgozzlrio says that Mrs. CaruRO dis
charged him after he'd worked in her
home only two weeks because he could
not speak English.
"Rhe maintained it was because he
couldn't cook American dishes, which
was supposed to be part of his work.
She said he made a wreck of her re?
frlgerator as well as her table."
It was early last spring, according to
Kigozzino's court recital, that he was
called by the opera singer at his-quarters
at the Knickerbocker hotel.
"They asked me to sign a contract
from May 1 to September 1. I was to
move out to theirjeountry place at East
Hampton. Signora said there would be
16 in the household. '
COCLDX'T COOK AMERICAS
"I jnade over the kitchen of their
Long - Island house. I turned it from
an American kitchen Into an Italian one.
It was fitted up "for turning out my
own dishes. .
"But I didn't remember. Signora said
that I didn't speak English well enough
to understand ' her. I was gone like
that I" - :
"But,'' said Mrs.4 Caruso, "he assured
me that he knew all about American
cookery and he couldn't even prepare
cocoa! You see, baby Gloria hasn't
become accustomed to. macaroni before.
I wanted oatmeal for her and for my
sister-in-law's baby, who Vas with. us.
"He just couldn't do It, and so I for
gave him and cooked their food myself.
BOUGHT WnOLE AJmiALS
"But his attempts at American dishes
became worse. Finally he served as
paragus to ub quite raw. , I suppose he
thought it was to be eaten like celery.
And he put on the table an entree of
spoiled brains t Ugh 1 How they "smelled !
I decided that I Just couldn't stand it'."
And by no means a desirable charac
teristic of Ragozalno's service, Mrs. Ca
ruso said.-was his weakness for buying
meat in large portions. Site went on :
"It wasn't the least bit unusual for him
to drag in an entire Bheep carcass, or
even most of a-beef, and store H in the
rerigerator.
"Indeed, he kept the ice chest jammed
so full that it looked like storage for
a restaurant." ...

i Passes .Quarterly Dividend

United Nwi Start Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 16. Grave de
liberations are now in progress at
the White House on a subject of
serious import.; Tha White House
family is engaged in deciding whe
ther there shall or shall not be a
Christmas tree this year.
There Is not likely to be a free unless
the five baby voices of the five Wilson
grandchildren can be heard 'and the
babies may not -be here. ' The president
never before was so well provided ewlth
youngsters necessary to the making of
a successful Christmas, but it appears
doubtful that they can be brought to
gether -for the great day.
Family reasons seem likely to keep
Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre and their
three children in Massachusetts, while
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, parents
of the other two Wilson grandchildren,
have 'planned a Western 'trip covering
the holiday period. The only daughter
certain to be present is Mies Margaret
Wilson.
Plans now going forward provide for
i. very quiet observance of the festal
day, but these plans ar subject to
change if it is found the children can
come. Otherwise there will be only the
usual distribution of turkeys to all the
White House force and the exchange of
presents within the family.
