Today it is the fashion to be tired'

wtearincss or boredom there is relict
in this year's program, offered by the

"What I love to do, though I rarely
get the chancb, is to cook. When I
was a young girl, my mother saw to.
it that I learned to be a good cook.
'Your husband shall never have a
chance to tell me that you should
have spent more time in the kitchen,'
she would say. To me, cooking is the
eighth art. And I adore experiment-
ing with and collecting out-of-the-way
recipes. Some years ago, I had an
excellent chef. At my request the
director of the Imperial Household
gave her a position in the rioyal kit-
chien o fthe Hofburg and, she was
thoroughly trained in its gastronomic
traditions. For hundreds of years the
Viennese Court had been famous for
the variety and excellence of its
cuisine. When my cook came back
to me she brought with her the choic-
est of these court recipes which I have
at home and from which I concoct the
most ambrosial delicacies.
j jAnd that's how I amuse myself!
Not very exciting, is it? But if you
'.spent most of your life recreating
the hectic passions and tragic ex-
periences of operatic heroines, you
would be glad to find recreation in the
simple pleasure of a kitchen stove or
a lace-like lue lake in a quiet moun-
tain retreat."
Jeritza loves, to sing. She is not,
however, a singer because it is the
only thing she can do well. On the
contrary, ever since the beginning of
her vocal career, she has been besieg-
ed with offers to abandon opera and
,go on the legitimate stage.
But Jeritza declined these tempta-
tions. She persisted with opef a..and
her reward was swift. 'Today she is
the leading soprano at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.. In three seasons
she has filled the unique place in the
public affection which everyone
! thought the death of Caruso had left
permanently vacant.
