she dropped from the skies. A
famous actress, the idol of Euro

from an airplane with a para

movie and landed in my back
yard. A short time later we were
married. I still insist, that she
was sent to me from heaven.
Kleinchen Immediately tossed
her own career aside to aid in
what she called my greater"
career. Her part consists in man
aging that career. making all my
contracts. supervising my CORE
spondence. relieving me Of all
business details. and entertaining

Although she has never sung a
note during the opera perform
aEce, she has been on hand to
cooperate in every way possible
with the opera productions.
I have never stepped out on the
stage Of the Metropolitan or con-
cert platform until Kleinchen has
checked every detail of my cos

Is always Kleinchen who can be

casion. One Of these occasions
came up during the second act Of
Tristan und Isolde" when the
women's chorus walk through the
stage with branches in their
hands. Because Of q sudden shift

cred as to what path to take
through the stage. It was Klein

branches In her hands, and NOV
ing her lips as though she were
singing. who led them through the
confusing stage scenery. in and
out the right doors.
In another emergency. she even
acted as q prompter. This occa-
sion was when I sang the role Of
Tristan for the first time In Bar

prompter failed to show up. and
1t was tiny Kleinchen who stood in
the prompter's box to direct the
performance. However, she was SO
small that for the first act moth

that was the only time that Klein
chen was more of q hindrance

Carrots
Served Often
This Week
BY JUDITH WILSON

NEXT to the indispensable
onion, the most versatile
vegetable in the kitchen is
the carrot. It goes into nu-
merous stews, pot roasts, soups
and chowders. It serves to brighten
many q vegetable plate. It goes
into vegetable and nut loaves, into
sandwiches. Served diced in COM
bination with peas, it Is q we'll
known favorite.
Many people like carrots raw:
either In slender sticks or cubes. or
shredded and served alone as q
salad. Another good salad consists
Of shredded carrots in combination
with shredded cabbage. held to-
gether with salad dressing. Shred
ded gelatin salad Is another pleas
ing variation, or pineapple or
orange served with shredded car
rots in q salad.
For variety and taste contrast
try these tricks with carrots. Boil
them with the outside leaves of
celery. Fry carrots with apples.
Serve carrots with q cheese sauce.
Slice carrots in a casserole and
bake with just little water: serve
with melted butter. finely chopped
parsley and little lemon juice.
Carrots are rich source of
vitamin A, q good source of CAL
cium and q good source of ribo-
flavin. Vitamin A is found in both
yellow and green leafy vegetables
and nutritionists recommend at
least one serving day Of these
vegetables.
