ACTRESSES AS COOKS.

“A witA-Kxdws Isdy connected with the stage," tells how distinguished singers end actresses love to occasionally indulge a fancy tor dainty cooking :— Kate Claxton, tor instanee, is supposed to be an adept at cooking. She is said to be one of the best salad-makers as well aa eaters to be found in New York. Then there is Clara Louise Kellog. She thinks nothing of taking off her diamond finger-rings, and takes to the “ hard pan” with a will. Why, she even carries a stove With her, Her mother is an enthusiastic book, and Miss Kellog's own maid also has her hand in the pie. They prefer their own cooking to what they get at hotels, and it is a simple matter of love with them. This reminds me of a little incident that took place at Chicago. She used to stav at the Tremont House. During her stay there, ones she wanted the manager to out a door between the bed-chamber and the parlor, and let her have the room for a kitchen. This he refused to do, and that was the last time she ever troubled the Tremont Alice Dunning Lingard, who was engaged kt the Union Square Theatre, was a great cook. Being an English girl, she had well learned the art of cooking before she took to the stage, It was her pride on Sunday nights to entertain her friends at dinner at her home in Thirty-seventh Street. She arranged her table with good taste, and her dinners, mostly superintended by herself, were always relished by the most fastidious good cook is Rosa Coghlan. She is fond of cooking on a great scale a I’Anglaise. She can serve up a leg of Southdown mutton as well as any cook she could engage, and she boasts of it also.
