BRIAND’S DIET PEEVES
HIS NOTED FRENCH COOK
Mme. Rosalie Inconsolable Over
Premier’s Method of Living, Due
to His Impaired Health.
By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 20.—Ever since
Aristide Brland. who assumed the
onerous duties of premier and foreign
minister while In none too robust
health, went on a strict diet, his fa
mous cook, Mme. Rosalie, has been al
most inconsolable.
Mme. Rosalie has cooked for some
of the most famous persons of her
time, as she presides over the kitchens
of the Quai d'Orsay and has super
intended more than her share of
state dinners for visiting celebrities.
Up to recently. M. Brland, who has
been foreign minister several times,
has done ample justice to Mme. Ros
alie s art, as good food has been one
of his chief delights.
Now, however, he is confined by ills
physicians to broth and toast and such
spiritless concoction and has to eschew
formal and official luncheons and din
ners. He takes his simple fare at
home and then turns up ut these func
tions In time for the coffee and speech
making.
