Did Object To Study Of Her In Nude Bridgeport, Cjsnfl,*—She didn111 -object when her husband, Everett .’Shinn, nationally known artist of Westport and New York, indited that she pose in the nude for two hours at a stretch in a tempera ture of .5 0 degrees, but she did : stnanmnusly object when Shinn in- i ■ssted on making camera photo graphic studies of her in the nude, so Mrs. Gertrude McManus Chase Shinn, wife of the artist, told State Referee Leonard J. Nickerson in Superior Court in support of her suit for divorce on grounds of cruelty. Boasted of Conquests "Life isn’t worth living if I have to go on with it,” Mrs. Shinn told Referee Nickerson at one point where she appeared ready to break down. "I don’t know how he was brought up,” Mrs. Shinn said, but he has no sense of social obligation. He pleased only himself.” She told of one occasion when a party of her friends from the Westport art colony were attend ing a piano recital at Shinn’s studio given by a mutual friend, Mrs. Paul Hartley. Shinn "burst into the room,” in the midst of a move ment from Chopin, slammed down the lid of the grand piano and told her guests "It’s time you people went home,” she testified. * Shinn continuously "boasted of his conquests,” his wife testified. "He came home one night,” Mrs. Shinn said, “and said that he was sorry that he had to come back but that the girl with whom he had a date had let him down.” They were married March 25, 1924. Referee Nickerson will study the testimony and make a recom mendation to the Superior- Court on the divorce action. GOV.

Oscar, Host Par Excellence of Waldorf, Makes Public One of His Famous Recipes The Waldorf-Astoria, the J ‘Unofficial Palace of New | York.” Photograph shows M the Waldorf, the world’s || tallest hotel, 47 stories in H height, looking South on Park Avenue. Oscar. “Host Par Excellence” of The Waldorf-Astoria. WHEN the traveller goes to New York he has the opportunity to live in hotels which are among the finest in the world. The new Waldorf-Astoria, the largest and tallest in the world, is a hotel which takes second place to none. As famous as the hotel is Oscar, of the Waldorf, world-famed host and authority on food, now complet ing his fortieth year of service with the Waldorf. Now that recent nutritional re search has revealed that canned pine apple has more known dietetic values than any other fruit which has been subjected to similar re search, it has been noticed that an increasing number of guests at the Waldorf are eating pineapple daily. Oscar, who knows so much about food, was asked the other day to give his recipe for his famous Starlight salad. Here it is: “A slice of pineapple on a leaf of lettuce. In center of pineapple put a small cheese ball, sprinkled with finely chopped parsley. Cut five pieces pimento in triangular shape, place around the cheese ball to form a five point star. “Dressing: One third strained chili sauce, two thirds mayonnaise, a little vinegar. Mix well, add some freshly chopped parsely before serving.” although it is the largest hotel in the world, as a structure, the Waldorf-Astoria is not the largest in number of rooms. This is due to the fact that, on an average, rooms are larger than corresponding rooms in any other hotels of comparable size. There are 2,200 guest rooms. CITY and COUNTY^. IVEWS BRIEFS^ MRS.
