Eighteen months later her husband, Lawrence; was killed in an auto accident. Today, at 61, this vivacious little woman is a popular lec turer, owner of a small frozen foods firm, and author of a new cookbook that explores the spicy delights of Mexican eating. In spite of heartbreak and handicap, Mrs. Zelayeta dis covered the recipe for a full, rich life. She sums it up as "learn to cooperate with the inevitable." Left with her young sons, Lawrence Jr., and Bill to sup port, she turned to her one talent, cooking. She and her husband had operated a Mexi can restaurant in San Fran cisco. "My main handicap in learning to cook again was not blindness but fear," . said Mrs. Zelayeta. "I was espe cially afraid of the stove and knives. But now when anyone asks me if I ever burn or cut myself, I have to laugh. After alL doesn't everyone now and then?" Gradually Mrs. Zelayeta de veloped new kitchen tech niques through sound and 'feeL She learned to separate eggs by letting them slide across her palm, to "feel" the , correct heat of the oven, to time her recipes by radio an nouncements. "Most important, I was able to take care of my boys," she added. "I could feel that I was being a real mother even if I did spill spinach all over Billy's face when I fed him It was not long before she was asked to start the first cooking school at the San Francisco center for the blind ' Since then, she has taught hundreds of similarly handi capped persons to conquer their fears in the kitchen Mrs. Zelayeta is never too busy to invite two or 20 friends in for dinner,. Sfee-. will use any excuse to throw a party. "To me, serving a dinner to a friend is a gift of love. If you tell me not to go to extra work, likely as not I won't be able to resist fixing turkey with mole sauce just to show I love you," she said. Mole sauce, she explained, contains about 20 ingredients and takes nearly a day to cook. It is said to have orig inated in a Mexian convent where the sisters were pre paring a special feast. Be cause they wanted to give it their best, they kept adding ingredients, including chili ana even chocolate. One may wonder how she found time to write "Elena's Secret of Mexican Cooking." but anyone who have ever yearned to make delicious Mexican dishes at home will understand. Besides a simplified recine for mole sauce, which has not lost the original flavor, the book includes popular Mexi can dishes such as chile, tacos and enchiladas. There is also a wide variety of lesser known specialties such as. sopa de espuma, "foam soup," because it is so light, flan, a favorite Spanish custard dessert, dozens of sauces, salads and south-of-the-border cocktails. The Centennial theme was used in the pink and lavender decorations with antique kero sene lamps amid roses and chiffon centerpieces on the dining table. Favors were old fashioned nosegays.

By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - Most ani mals are gregarious, says Mrs. Lorrain D'Essen. After an a n afternoon at her hous'e, I know what she means. I interview ed this unique businesswom -an while a ' b 1 a c k and La&i poodle named Gay Pauley " Mae Stro" slept in my lap; a "gregari ous" Yorkshire terrier called "Chowzie" chewed my pencil; a white llama dubbed "Llin da" investigated the organdy tucking on my white hat; and a tiny monkey called "Gigo lo" clung to my arm like I was a long lost cousin. Only a handsome, all-white Russian wolfhound named "Brother" was a bit cool. Later, I understood why. Mrs. D'Essen said that "Brother" and Marilyn Monroe are great friends . . . have been ever since the two worked for a color picture series for a na tional magazine. Brother" came home with lipstick on that white coat . . the dickens to shampoo out," said Mrs. D'Essen. He's been putting on the dog ever since." Menagerie at Home All told, I met, petted and was licked by 28 animals -Mrs. D'Essen's count, not mine. I lost track of totals as I wandered through a me nagerie which included a white lamb named "Amy"; a talking crow called "Emma"; a prairie dog, "Peanuts"; a kangaroo named "Victoria"; a graceful, blue-eyed Siamese called "Jester", plus assorted basset hounds, sheep dogs, puppies, a manx kitten, a stray cat named "Red" whom the D'Essens adopted, and the "house mother" of this mo dern Noah's Ark - a gentle Dane called "Deborah." These are just the regular, and free to roam, occupants of the D'Essens' five -story greystone house on Manhat tan's lowest west side. "It's a wonderful old house with a bathroom on each floor," said Mrs. D'Essen. "Oh yes, even Llinda gets a regular washing . . . she likes to soak in the tub." The other four-legged crit ters belonging to Animal Talent Scouts, Inc., are kept at the 27-acre Phifer Animal Farm in Norris County, N.J. The D'Essens supply talent to television and Broadway shows, for commercial pho tography, the movies, and publicity and promotion stunts. "Jester", the pro of their Siamese flock, earns $65 an hour - the highest hourly rate. Business Grew Naturally The D'Essens got into this business the easy way - Mrs., D'Essen, went looking for some lambs to help promote wool while she was in the advertising field. Finding them white, clean and the right age - took some scout ing. Then the idea for a "cen tral casting" for the animal world was born. But it didn't grow much un til 1947 when Mrs. D'Essen, walking a family pet-a great dane named "Dickie", now de ceased-was spotted by a tele-xi vision producer. "Dickie" and a feline friend, "Mingkie" made several TV appearances and it wasn't long until peo ple started calling her to lo cate other animals. In 1950, she incorporated the firm and her husband, a former Navy man, left the pharmaceutical business to come in as secretary and treas urer. Since, the D'Essens have rounded up a live shark, cam els, elephants, a python for a movie, a burro who starred along with Cyril Ritchard in "La Perichole" at the Metro politan Opera company and for a solo bow, an alligator for "The Happiest Million aire" on Broadway, and "cast" the animals which are in Ethel Merman's new hit,' "Gypsy". Now, Mrs. D'Essen-a pretty brunette whose inner happi ness shines right through her brown eyes-has written about her animal kingdom, "Kanga roos in the Kitchen", publish ed by David McKay company. Now it takes a staff of 10 to run the business-not count ing the neighborhood children who run their own waiting list on who gets to help walk the pets. Ceremony Held By Relief Corps Central Point William H. Harrison post, Women's Relief corps, draped the charter at the last meeting, held at the Legion hall. The draping was in honor of Mrs. Edwin Jones, secretary of the group, whose death oc curred April 29.

Mrs. Loyd Hays was elected senior vice-president after the resignation of Mrs. Wallace McDowell, who was appointed to fill the secretarial vacancy. It was voted to purchase flags for the graves of GAR veterans and these will be used on Memorial day.
