Her home is a half-acre of the most expensive real estate in the New York’s neon-lighted Broadway belt. She could afford to live the pampered existence of a Park Ay- enue matron, lifting a finger only to summon a servant, but she pre- fers to work 14 hours a day, The Teason? “If I didn’t, I'd never see my husband,” she says. May is married to Gene Leone, owner of one of the most famous Italian restaurants in New York, where. the great and the near-great of Broadway and the world have gathered in the interests of good food and wine for almost 50 years. Gene learned the artistry of cook- ing from his mother, Luisa, who founded the restaurant in 1906, and pursues the creation of a sauce or a souffle with the pas- sionate dedication of a high priest. Gene personally supervises his vast kitchens, checks every item on the lengthy menu, mixes every sauce with his own hands. He flies his. own: plane, has a $250,000 art collection in the res- taurant, and owns a 2,100 acre farm near West. Point, where he breeds horses and composes new sauces for,the family on Sundays. The Leones have been guests of Ike and Mamie Eisenhower at the White House, and entertain Ike’s West Point class of 1915 at their farm during ¢lass reunions. Gene even has been made an honorary member of the class, a tribute to his talents as a host. His tastes are strictly Roman in food and art, but his wife is un- mistakably Irish. Born May Sulli- van in Brooklyn, she still seems a bit surprised to find herself pre- siding over an Italian dynasty. 2 EVERY FRIDAY FRIDAY, September 10 EVERY SUNDAY 3:30—Orden EVERY MONDA 8:00—Alcoholics Anonymous MONDAY, September 13 7:30—DeMolay Mothers’ ERY TUESDAY 6:45—Kiwanis Club, LaConcha TUESDAY, September 14 EVERY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY, September 15 EVERY THURSDAY THURSDAY, September 16 at hardware or ten-cent stores or simply use a square of cheese- cloth, if you prefer.

Luisa’s husband, Lt. Col. Tom Mesereau, former West Point football star, now is his father-in- law’s right-hand man in the res- taurant. Eileen’s husband, Lt. Ed- muni Bowen Jr., now’ is in the Air Force but expects to return to Leone’s as a cook. Gene and May recently returned from a trip to Europe, their first real vacation in 17 years. They made a literal “‘cook’s tour” of France and Italy, comparing notes with famous European chefs. Says May: “Gene came home with a brief- case full of recipes and a truffle hound. He’s mad about truffles, and thinks the only reason we don’t have them in this country is there are no dogs trained to dig them.” “My dog has three diplomas and three gold medals,” says Gene proudly. “Pretty soon we'll be find- ing truffles in Central Park.” ub Calendar Wives, Bldg. 83, Seaplane Base 7:30—Rebekah Lodge at Pythian Hall, 728 Fleming Street 8:00—Order of Eastern Star, Scottish Rite Temple, 533 Eaton 2:00—CAP Cadets, Poinciana Community House iballeros de la Luz, 422 Amelia St. 10:00—Gym Class for Officers’ wives, Bldg. 83, Seaplane Base 7:30—Sigsbee Community Council at Shelter 8:00—Logia “Marti” Nro. 3, Caballeros de Marti, 919 Elizabeth Circle, St: Paul’s Parish Hall 7:30—Wesleyan Service Guild of First Methodist Church 7:30—WSCS Board of ist Methodist Church, at church annex 8:00—Executive Bd., 1st Presbyterian Chureh at the church 8:00—Poincian School PTA at the school 8:00—Anchor Lodge, Masonic Scottish Rite Temple, 533 Eaton 8:00—Beta Sigma Phi, Beta Omega Chapter, Seminary Street 9:00—Ladies Day Golf Tournament, Golf Club 9:00—Thrift Shop, Navy Commissary open until 12 noom Hotel 7:30—Yonth for Christ Bible Study, Fleming St. Methodist Church 8:00—Knights of Pythias, Pythian Hall, 728 Fleming St. 8:00—Stock Car Association, Legion Home, Stock Island 10:00—ZX-11 Officers Wives Club at Aeropalms 7:30—Order of DeMolay, Scottish Rite Temple, 533 Eaton Street 7:30—WSCS, First Methodist Church at the church 7:30—Truman School PTA at the school 7:30—District 25, Fla.
