AS the train came in she say a middle
aged man who resembled her parental
relative, and she rushed into his arms,
huddled down on his bosom, kissed him on
the mouth, the ear, the chin, and all over

He said she was right.
She asked his pardon, and he told her
not to mention it.

She smiled sweet, sad, blushing smile,
and went out into the wide world, while
the traveller walked to the hotel with the
others. They asked him if it didn't make

Actresses as Cooks.
"A well known lady connected with the
stage" tells how distinguished singers and
actresses love to occasionally indulge a
fancy for dainty cooking
Kate Claxton for instance, is supposed to
be an adept at cooking. She is said to be
one of the best saladmakers as well as eat
ers to be found in New York.
Then there is Clara Louise Kellogg. She
thinks nothing of taking off her diamond
finger-rings and takes to the hard PAM

once she wanted the manager to cut

kitchen. This he refused to do, and that
was the last time she ever troubled the
fremont House.
Alice Dunning Lingard, who was engaged
at the Union Square Theatre, was great

learned the art of cooking before she took
to the stage. 1t was her pride on Sunday
nights to entertain her friends at dinner at
her home in Thirty-seventh street. 81
arranged her table with good taste, and her
dinners, mostly superintended by herself,
were always relished by the most fastidious
guests.
Another good cook is Rose Coghlan. She
is fond of cooking on great scale
a rAnglaise. She can serve up a leg of
Southdown muttor as well as any cook she
could engage, and she boasts of it also.
