FRANCE KEEPING
 MASTER CLIFFS
New Post-War Prestige for these [ Experts

Paris, June 3 P-France's culi- nary treasures, unlike her master pieces of art. are going to stay at home hereafter.
 The depreciation of the franc, which resulted in the acquisition of her works of art by foreigners, has at the same time brought about a great revival of Frances hotel and restaurant trade. The country has awakened to the fact that the glories of her native cooking are as valua- ble peace-time propagandists as are the dressmakers and milliners of France.
 Before the war. important hotels and private citizens in other coun- tries eagerly sought the chefs of which France was proudest. Now the tendency of the expert pot-and- pan wielders is to settle down in their homeland. The prosperous tourist seasons of the past few years have encouraged this return. Prohi- bition in America has stopped the exodus to the New York kitchens of the pupils of such master chefs as Escoffier, Carton and Montague. After-war bitterness has driven the French chefs from the Swiss resorts patronized by wealthy Germans. But above all the inducement to the wandering chefs is the fact that the art of eating has a real cult in France.
 Organiza tions such as The Hun dred club and The Thirteen make it their business to seek out worthy but unknown cooks in small restau- rants and bring them to the atten- tion of the public. These eating clubs count among their members most of the leaders in French life. Except for rfe abstemious, water drinking M. Poincare. the heads of the present government are all avowed gourmets.
 A full crop Of chefs of the future is being prepared by France. Pupils are being received in 30 "hotel schools" whereas before the war there were only 10. A full fledged cook cannot practice in France un- til he is 20. To obtain his diploma he must pass rigid oral, written and practical examination under the eyes of expert chefs.

CHAPLIN HIMSELF
 ACCUSES HIS WIFE
Calls Her Butterfly and Unit
 to Mother Children

Los Angeles. June (UP)-At- torneys for Lita Grey Chaplin today were preparing her reply to the comedians charge that she was a butterfly" wife who neglected her husband and children for the con- pany of unnamed young men.
 Chaplln's long delayed answer to her suit for divorce was filed yester- day. The comedian denied all her charges and made some of his own.
 In return. her attorney. Lyndol Young said. she will file an answer next week in which she will refute his charges and insist on her fitness to be custodian of the two Chaplin children.
 Chaplin's reply to her divorce complaint allegations was that he was a loving husband and kind father while she was an extravagant. and undignified wife and a neglect full mother.
 In a 72-rage answer he denied all of her charges of cruelty and in . 22-page cross-complaint charged Mrs. Chaplin with associating with at least two other men. drinking liquor to excess. and planning the divorce which both are now seeking. He asked that her complaint be dis missed and that he be granted divorce and the custody of their two children. An automobile salesman. unnamed, was specified in his com plaint
 A Continual Dancer
 Mrs. Chaplin" the complaint set out. "habitually occupied almost all of her time dancing at hotels cafes. and beach resorts in and about Los Angeles. thereby absenting herself from her home and children to the grieyous neglect of said children: and on numerous occasions Mrs. Chaplin did not return to her home until or 3 o'clock in the morning and on many of these occasions she was accompanied by the same auto mobile salesman.
 She was frequently in the com pany of this automobile salesman." the complaint continued. and over the protest of her husband invited the salesman to their home and" en- tertained him and others and at such times liquor was drunk to ex- cess"
 Chaplin also referred to "a young men" with whom he said Mrs. Chap lin was infatuated during a part of their married life. The young man, who like the automobile salesman, remained unnamed. was also invited to the Chaplin home. the comedian said. She persisted in seeing him over his protest, Chaplin said.
 Mrs Chaplin. he said. conceived the idea of divorce while she was in Honolulu. A few days after her return she spent more than $s1O.- GOO ''on clothes, shoes and perfume" which was done. the complaint said, flor the purpose of carrying out her scheme and plan" to enter divorce proceedings.
 He Made offer
 He said he offered Mrs. Chaplin half of their community property. valued by himself at .$256.134.62. but she demanded st.25O. 900 in cash.
 The comedian said his wife had caused him mental suffering. hu- initiation. and anguish of mind" He referred to himself as man "emi- rent in his profession" who had nothing to do with other women and who was not addicted to the use of liquor.
 Mrs. Chaplin. he said. persisted in going to parties without him. be- coming intoxicated to the extent of acting in an "unseemly, undignified. and unwomanly manner"
 Chaplin's reply intimated his health was shattered by the nervous
