ACTRESS COOKS.
Dishes Which Footlight Queens Can Pre-
pare.

Mrs Agnes Booth keeps hotel. She
runs it in connection with her husband,
Junius Brutus Booth, who is brother
of Edwin and John Wilkes Booth, but
who, unlike either of them, never had
much fame as an actor. Junius Brutus
Booth was the first son of the great act
or of that name, but he is quiet, easy
going man who finds no greater pleas
ure than sticking by the summer hotel,
which his wife really manages. 1t is q
pretty place on the beach at Manhattan
and is called the Masconomo House.
Mrs. Agnes Booth, who, by the way,
has Just severed her connection with the
Madison Square Theater, because the
discomforts of travel were too great for
Der, delights in making her guests COM
Portable, and proves as good a hostess
as she is an actress. Her knowledge of
French cook, and while she, of course,
does none of the labor of the kitchen,
many of the best dishes served are the
result of her ingenuity and fine taste.
In the preparation of fish she is an ex-
pert, and some people say that fresh
bass just out of the water, fried in
cream according to Mrs. Booths form
ula, is one of the most delicious things
in the world. She herself is quite an
epicure, and she enjoys the good things
of the table quite as much as any French
gastronome. Throughout that section
of country the fame of Mrs. Booths ia
bic will compare to her fame as an ar
list here, where few know that her do
mestic tastes are so refined and per-
fected
Mdle. Aimee is born cuisiniere. Her
mother was cook in one of the great
Partisan houses, and there the celebrat-
ed opera bouffiste learned, as a child,
the rudiments of her now extensive
knowledge OF good cooking. Some
years since the dinners she gave at the
Hotel Richelieu on Lexington avenue
were the subject of great talk among the
French colony here, and as rule she
presided at the preparations of all the
dishes.
Mr.. AID Mrs. Thomas Within have a
beautiful little home here, and among q
large circle of friends Mrs. Within is
known as one of the best possible cooks
and there is curie she learned how to
make with tamarinds, the secret of
which she learned from the nephew
of one of the high-living old East In
dian judges, the flavor of which can
never be forgotten by one who has tast-
ed it.
Miss Rose Coghlan has a fiat near the
park, where she occasionally goes into
some elaborate cooking rAnglaise.
Occasionally she will divert herself by
serving with her own fair hands a boil
ed leg of mutton with capers, or a sad
die of English Southdown brought over
to her by Captain Land of the Inman
Line, who is friend of hers and a great
admirer. Occasionally her cuisine as
sumes wider range, and then it is us
ually ordered from Delmonico's. Moth
ing arouses the worthy lady more
| than having to leave all these good
| things when she starts on her trip to
| California.
Mrs. Alice Dunning Lingard, who is
engaged at Union Square Theater as
leading lady, has a beautiful little home
of her own in Thirty-seventh street and
during the season she will entertain
friends on Sunday nights there. Mrs.
| Lingard, who is an Englishwoman,
makes no great pretensions in anything,
| but she can arrange supper upon her
| hospitable board with taste, care, and
piquancy that is wholly her own. Per-
| haps these suppers taste better because
there is so beautiful hostess at the
head of the table. Seeing her as an ac-
tress gives no idea of the charm of her
presence off the stage. Like many an
other actress, the only time she can give
| her entertainment is the Sunday even
ing, all the others being actively occu-
| pied.-N. Y Journal.
